Small Steps for Differentiation: Tier It! | Beyond Traditional Math I’m still searching for ways to differentiate in small ways that take just a second or two. An activity that is tiered is something that is leveled differently. A true tiered activity means that there are two (or sometimes more) options that account for a different level of thinking. Not everything can be tiered, but some basic math skills can be tiered quite easily. Here is an example. I saw this post on Pinterest the other day for a primary classroom. This is an awesome activity for students that are just starting out with numbers and subtilizing. I think if we systematically think about what the next “level” of some of those basic math skills are, we can slowly incorporate the correct materials into our centers, our assignments and our games.

Teaching in Flip Flops The Elementary Math Maniac: Common Core Standards for Telling Time: Grade 1 Have your first graders started working on time? I just introduced time to my first graders a week ago and they are already doing a great job! The Common Core standard for telling time can be found in the Measurement & Data section. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.B.3Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks. Introducing the Floor Clock (Time Mat) I have several Judy clocks and they are great for whole group instruction. . I start by laying the clock on the floor and asking kids what they notice. Next I put the hour hand on the clock or have one of the students do it. Next, I show them that sometimes the hour hand is right between two numbers. Next we attach the minute hand and use both hands to show what time to the hour and half an hour look like. Moving from Whole Group Practice to Independent or Partner Practice Over the next few days, I might use the Judy clock or the time mat again to model times or have students model times.

RS_94-f.pdf A Teeny Tiny Teacher Préparer à l’apprentissage formel des mathématiques Comme le célèbre personnage de littérature Sherlock Holmes l’a déjà affirmé : « Les petites choses sont les plus importantes » (The little things are infinitely the most important). Cette affirmation pourrait probablement devenir la devise de certains professeurs de l’University of Alberta, qui soutiennent qu’en éducation, de petites actions peuvent avoir un impact considérable sur l’apprentissage. Shutterstock / Ilike Cet article est une adaptation libre du texte de Scott Lingley, publié sur le site Web de la University of Alberta. Bon nombre de parents ont le souci de préparer leur enfant à l’apprentissage de la littératie, en enseignant par exemple au jeune les lettres de l’alphabet avant même qu’il n’ait mis le pied à l’école. Selon Lynn McGarvey, professeure en science de l’éducation à l’University of Alberta, les parents prépareraient également leur enfant à l’apprentissage des mathématiques, la plupart du temps en leur apprenant à compter. 1. 2.
