Today, I have a little introductory lesson to share with you. This took one math session, and the kids really seemed to get it when we were done. We have started our unit on geometry and geometric solids. To introduce the concept, I played on the fact Read More...

For years, I have used math journals as a way for the students to copy what I was writing on the board and have a place to do some math problems that they couldn't do in the book (because, well, you can't write in text book!) But this summer, that all Read More...

Nothing mind blowing today. We went back to school after a 3 week break and spent a lot of time reviewing. It is amazing how much knowledge can leak out of a brain after 3 weeks of vacation. Anyway, we set out to tackle fractions....simplifying fractions Read More...

Over the course of my Thanksgiving Break, I was busy looking for things to do that would enhance my already preset lessons (we have 3 weeks before winter break and I basically know what content will be covered because of the pacing plans). So where did Read More...

Over the past (almost) year, I have written about Calendar Math more than any other single topic. I really feel like it is such a worthwhile endeavor in class...worth every.single.second that it takes out of my math block. The time that I spend on it Read More...

Take one part geometry, one part riddle, and one part partner work and what do you have? A little gem of an activity. We have entered into our Geometry unit and started looking at angles and their measurements. I wanted to give the kids some hands-on Read More...

I was looking through my pictures for a picture of my son that I need for something I am making when I came across some pictures of a little math/science thing I did in my room a few years ago (this was pre-blogging days ;) ) Since the pictures were just Read More...

Adding and subtracting decimals has been a bit of a sticking point for my students. It isn't that they don't get that you have to line up the decimals....they really do. But when it comes down to it, they seem to be a little stuck there. When I give them Read More...

I really like using foldables in my class. They are just easy little information organizers that really grab my students' attention. I use them in every subject, for everything we are doing. Here are a few that we have used these past few weeks. Math Read More...
