Math Literature and Graphing Activities > I will soon be a student teacher. In my method class for > math I was instructed to create a book lesson intergrating > math. I want to use Harriet's Halloween Candy by Nancy > Carlson, since it will be Halloween when I present this to > my class... Your thoughts are well thought out... KathyB/1st/IA, 10/26/00 on teachers.net math board Best of luck when you present your lesson. Integrating math with Harriet means not only sorting and graphing, which is good, but also how can you tie the feelings of selfishness and greediness into your lesson, which I believe is the lesson Nancy Carlson wants the reader to explore. Choose the attributes you want the students to work with (i.e. size, color, shape, etc.) and fill the bags with any and everything (not just candy) that can be sorted like this. Hand this bag to one person - what do others think? Go on to sort, graph, diagram (using rope circles on the floor works good and working in groups helps).

Writing in Mathematics Featured Topic: Writing in Math Class Teachers incorporate writing in math class to help students reflect on their learning, deepen their understanding of important concepts by explaining and providing examples of those concepts, and make important connections to real-life applications of the math they are learning. Teachers use the writing assignments to assess student understanding of important concepts, student proficiency in explaining and using those concepts and each student's attitude toward learning mathematics. Getting Started with Math Writing Often students who have difficulty writing in math class have less difficulty telling the teacher what they think. Think-Pair-Share: Some students are reluctant to write at first and benefit from practice sharing thoughts with a partner and hearing that partner put thoughts into words. The basic steps of Think-Pair-Share are: Question: Ask an open-ended question and tell students that they will think-pair-share the answer. Make a web.

Teachers Love SMART Boards: Mathematics I was searching through my past blog posts and I'm quite surprised that I have not written a post about the amazing flash-based resources found on Crickweb. This site contains hundreds of quality interactive resources for children aged 4 to 11. For my U.S. readers, the activities are organized into three age groups: The Early Years (age 4 to 5), Key Stage 1 (age 6 to 7), and Key Stage 2 (age 8 to 11). Within each age group the activities are organized by subject area. The basic subject areas include Math, Science, History, and Literacy. Spanish, and even Design & Technology. The resources contained on this site are all interactive and very few of them require keyboard input. of the activities only require students to touch or drag objects. I've included a few screen shots but the best way to find what your looking for is to browse around and play with the activities. Sharing is Caring!

GraphSketch Numbers= & programs for smartboards Number, Problem Solving A mathematical based puzzle for IWB, iPad and Android that requires some careful numeracy thinking and some informed trial and error. When the resource opens you will see that both multiplication calculations give the same result of 3634. The highest number that can be the answer for both calculations using each of the nine digits once is 5568. The challenge is to arrange the numbers until both calculations equal 5568. The resource will take care of the calculating but the player will have to think hard about the results of multiplication to make progress. Tap one tile and then another to swap them. The resource requires a modern browser and will work on all platforms. Go to math puzzle. Investigations, Number, Problem Solving This resource was inspired by the Puzzle of the Month in the always informative newsletter by Andrew Jeffrey, also on twitter as @AJMagicMessage. For the solution you’ll need to see Andrew Jeffrey’s newsletter next month. Go to Puzzle Resource
