Get ready to embark on an exciting journey of discovery with our pirate treasure map project, designed to teach kids all about angles in a fun and engaging way.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this project, students will create their own treasure map complete with islands, sea creatures, and of course, buried treasure. Along the way, they will learn about different types of angles, including acute, obtuse, and right angles, and how to use a protractor to measure them.</p><p><span style="background-color: #f7f7f8; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The pirate treasure map project is perfect for elementary school students and can be used both in the classroom or for homeschooling. Not only is it a great way to teach geometry and math, but it also encourages project-based learning and creativity.</span></p><p>If your students don't like geometry, be sure to check out
math & art projects.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://ampeduplearning.com/angles-project-pirate-treasure-map-types-drawing-measuring-angles-protractor/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1acwAaBPrP46GhzPwaHewV-qxym9tp8MG6n0EbFqEJ2kdGhNaYoPHyzpi5EU4KoAITJy0w3-CE3N5ZzOWIr0krrH5p8S6bma7oHlZhxgoxR2lAP-vg7uRc39-lRtMmbnUEdicji-KtceJZEnVZCVa4B5QACDDDg7ArBJhEElUNNfHYkMkriguPS-/s320/1a.png" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Why is the combination of math and art important?</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* In this way, we can <u>change the invisible into the visible</u>.
Visualization makes math more real and understandable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* Students have the opportunity to use their <u>artistic
skills.</u><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* Art is great for <u>hands-on</u> learning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* Math is often associated with fear, boredom, and
meaninglessness. Adding art to math lessons <u>makes math more fun</u>, which leads to
increased interest and helps children have better results.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* The combination of math and art <u>increases creativity </u>among
students. Open-ended art projects give children <u>freedom to problem solve, draw
and try new ideas</u>. It opens their minds to out of the box solutions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* Strengthening artistic abilities <u>positively influences
math-related skills</u>. This combination supports the mind in thinking in new and
unexpected ways.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* Art evokes emotions, so integrating these two subjects can
make students more open to math concepts and <u>more creative</u> when solving math
problems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* And the last one - students' <u>math & art projects look
amazing </u>on a bulletin board. Both students and teachers are amazed at how
beautiful mathematics can be.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://ampeduplearning.com/angles-project-pirate-treasure-map-types-drawing-measuring-angles-protractor/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjkLU9fW7MpiReqiirVdH3BRwhm5Nv0OWE_p0DkHvXfSNv5x_LVdsknJwlhG3dWhbXnTkYEWjQOzip53sNFc0m2vqi1wbXKRPnbX04RrX__tYFKcQOTSbzONFTZmEqhKrMbY7LwEqFsI1-V1RKwfGI8LAdac_YwdWdHwicjCX_7WKKL3LWOP_C3X-K/w242-h242/2.png" width="242" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">The Pirate Treasure Map Project allows your students to

at math doesn’t make you a virtuoso pianist overnight. Likewise, having maestro-esque skills in
music does not automatically make you a mathematical genius. Beethoven, arguably one of THE best composers in musical history, was
pretty abysmal at math (but listening to the genius that is the 5<sup>th</sup>
Symphony at full volume, no one is judging him for that tiny fact!).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;">That being
said, there are many links between music and math that are pretty interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not new; Einstein, when stuck on math
problems, would play music to help him work through the equations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There have also been numerous studies recently
which examine the correlation between the two subjects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s have a look at just a few (because looking at them all would take longer than listening to the <i>full</i> version of<i> </i>American Pie</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;">). </span><span style="font-family: arial; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Let’s get the
romantic link out of the way first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both
music and math are impressively universal. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An equation and the answer is the same in
France as it is in Australia as it is in Turkey, even if the numerals are different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly, a piece of music can be listened
to, studied and performed all over the world from the same manuscript or
recording.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia;">Patterns</span></span></b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Both mathematics

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Now, take a

that I have arranged for Boomwhackers.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzKe8euv8nnXFmk4ziPjQqScOwGfRXxVPyxwSVxemYgajThPQzAyPfAlaNeSFrDjTor40ttPXnVKSp57pnymdWqff7iSJSQ3HhtzQuoyui7kkEFFhNii-Mm7vpmnQWQv5cAZIf6ZqLGrA/s1038/haydn.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="514" data-original-width="1038" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzKe8euv8nnXFmk4ziPjQqScOwGfRXxVPyxwSVxemYgajThPQzAyPfAlaNeSFrDjTor40ttPXnVKSp57pnymdWqff7iSJSQ3HhtzQuoyui7kkEFFhNii-Mm7vpmnQWQv5cAZIf6ZqLGrA/w382-h188/haydn.PNG" width="382" /></a></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;">You can view and purchase the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">As you can
see, I’ve blanked out a small section of the music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using similar cognitive skills in the math
handout (identifying previous patterns, predicting what will come next), even
those who have not heard this piece might be able to fill in the blanks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, and by the way, if you haven’t heard this
piece, I do recommend it. Haydn was a bit of a composing prankster, and this piece has a quirky backstory</span>.</span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia;">Fractions</span></span></b></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Music is all. About. Fractions. You only have to look at the (American) names of the notes. Quarter notes, half notes, eighth notes etc. And because each bar has a finite number of beats (determined by a time signature), it is important to know how to add fractions when playing, composing and viewing. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Convincing my students to do math in a music lesson? Surprisingly easy with Rhythm Math sheets, one of which is shown below. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This resource is a page from my </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Music-Theory-Handout-pack-40-pages-5935728" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">Music Theory Handout Pack</a><span style="font-family: helvetica;">, which has quite a bit of... math... in it! Go figure!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The sheet below is a preparatory exercise for learning time signatures and composition. If students know the values of each note, it is much easier for them to create music in a 4/4 time (which has 4 quarter beats in a bar) or 6/8 time (which has 6 eighth beats in a bar).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVSJcv6AJNCbEYKcF9USKII4h8ldfyjzz3TKopuUmulBwyaXMlgxyyRvJXfDKpTBI79dCw4D71bJ3lxhPNHiowaYf1PGLk4FQGOA8K_DCFYDdaf-nL7f3vj7Be4mT0Sgw96YDGFipWzEY/s721/math.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="721" data-original-width="489" height="373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVSJcv6AJNCbEYKcF9USKII4h8ldfyjzz3TKopuUmulBwyaXMlgxyyRvJXfDKpTBI79dCw4D71bJ3lxhPNHiowaYf1PGLk4FQGOA8K_DCFYDdaf-nL7f3vj7Be4mT0Sgw96YDGFipWzEY/w253-h373/math.PNG" width="253" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: georgia;">Counting</span></span></b></h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">There are definitely obvious mathematical concepts in music, but is there a place for music in math? You only have to look at a playgroup, daycare or early childhood classroom setting to see the key role that music can play. Most of us learnt to count through song, whether it be with <i>The Ants Go Marching</i>, <i>This Old Man</i> or <i>Ten in the Bed</i>. Learning through music strengthens memories of concepts, in an engaging way. Now if we can only make a nursery rhyme that helps us remember algebra!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So whether you prefer to play the piano over reading about Pythagoras, or would rather find a hypotenuse than listen to Haydn any day, I hope that you have found the links between music and math interesting. I've only just skimmed the surface in this post though. Maybe you know some more?

In todays world it seems like we mostly use digital forms of money have rely less and less on cash in our everyday lives. This makes teaching money more abstract that ever before! Here are a few tricks to help ease the process of teaching money and make it a little less painful.</p><p><b>1. Focus on Skip Counting before Teaching Money</b></p><p>Counting money is all about skip counting by 5's, 10's, and 25's. Make sure your students have these skills down before trying to introduce counting coins. </p><p><b>2. Introduce Money with Songs and Poems</b></p><p>Some of the best ways for kids to memorize is through music and rhythm! YouTube is FULL of songs that are great for money. I also have a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Counting-Coins-Introduction-to-Money-Activities-6450876" target="_blank">poem set available in my TpT store</a>. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Counting-Coins-Introduction-to-Money-Activities-6450876" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="350" src="https://ecdn.teacherspayteachers.com/thumbitem/Counting-Coins-Introduction-to-Money-Activities-6450876-1610665313/original-6450876-1.jpg" /></a></div><p><b>3. Make Counting Money Part of your Daily Calendar Time </b></p><p>Repetition is KEY! Add those poems to your daily routine and you'll see just how quickly your students begin to remember coin values.</p><p><b>4. Practice with Games</b></p><p>GAMES, GAMES, GAMES! All students love games! Check out our <i><b>Free Clip Cards below</b></i> for a fun game for students.

Do you have a student or two that have mastered all the number bonds you can throw at them? Are you looking for extra practice to sharpen their skills? Or maybe you teach older grades, but want to challenge the brains of your puzzle loving student. Either way, have you heard of Number Bond Trees? Number Bond Trees take a simple number bond and expand it far beyond your basic part-part-whole. These are SO FUN! Think sudoku for number bonds! What do you think? Will you try number bond trees in your classroom? <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Hello! This is Kelly from Little Green, writing to you once
again from Sydney, Australia. Well, four hours south
of Sydney, to
be precise! It is summer in Australia
and we are on our long summer school holiday break. I am writing this post from
the beautiful beach-side suburb of Kioloa, on the south coast of New South Wales, where I
am holidaying with my family. The sun is shining, and the sounds of waves
crashing and cicadas chirping are almost deafening! To my left, tree-covered hills
and ridges fill the landscape beyond the few rows of houses in this tiny town.
To my right is the ocean, with the sun rising splendidly over the blue water.
There is nowhere I would rather be right now! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">But we’re not here to get jealous about my beautiful, warm,
sunny location; we’re here for mathematical inspiration! And today I want to use
one of <b>my favourite math manipulatives </b>as the starting point for that
inspiration: the <b>Hundred Chart</b>. This versatile tool has been instrumental in
the development of mathematical understanding in countless students. In fact, I
would hazard a guess that pretty much every teacher reading this post used one
when he or she was a student and has used one at least once with their own
students. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><i>Why has this particular tool stayed with us for so long when
so many other great tools have come and gone?</i></b> In my opinion, it is because it
is both versatile and simple. Sure, you can buy a super-expensive, whizz-bang,
high-tech <b>Hundred Chart</b>, but equally effective is a dodgy black-and-white
blurry photocopy of a Hundred Chart, or even a hand-drawn Hundred-Chart on the
back of a fast food store napkin! It is often the simple things that stand the
test of time and become our constant companions in the classroom.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So, I’m dedicating this post to the Hundred Chart. May it
continue to be our mathematical friend for many years to come. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Here are a few ways I use a Hundred Chart:</b></span></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Counting Aid</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Using a Hundred Chart as a counting aid in the early years
will help familiarise students with its use and provide them with an effective
aid to help them ‘follow along’ with counting. I would introduce this tool with
five-year-olds as soon as they have a firm grasp on the idea that numerals
represent numbers and are beginning to count to numbers larger than ten. If you
are working with numbers up to twenty or thirty, shield the lower numbers on
the chart (with a piece of paper, for example) to allow your students to focus
on the numbers they are working with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Skip Counting Aid</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Skip counting is a terrific precursor to <b>multiplication</b>. A
Hundred Chart can be used as an aid to the skip counter. Begin by modelling
this skill to students then have them ‘have a go’ on their own. Simply point to
the numbers as you count and be sure to ‘notice’ out loud any obvious patterns<i>
(e.g. when counting by twos, you skip one number each time). </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Looking for Patterns in the Times Tables</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">For me, Mathematics is all about locating <b>patterns</b>, looking
for logic and making order. If our students can see the <b>patterns </b>in the times
tables, they will have a much richer understanding of them than if they simply
commit them to memory. Of course, knowing your tables off by heart is important
too, but we want our students to be able to do more than rattle off a few
numbers! A great way to see the <b>patterns </b>is to colour in the multiples of a
particular set on a Hundred Chart. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To extend this further, have them choose a different colour
to colour in the multiples of a different set on the same Hundred Chart. In
this way, they can see where the sets overlap and can draw conclusions based on
this <b>visual evidence</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Showing One More, One Less, Ten More and Ten Less</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">With a simple modification, a Hundred Chart can be used to
help students easily see one more, one less, ten more and ten less than any
number. Using cardstock or sturdy paper, create a shield with a cut-out in a
cross shape that will reveal the desired numbers (see picture below). Students
can move this shield around the chart to discover one more, one less, ten more
and ten less of any number (except numbers on the edge of the chart – some
explicit teaching is required to help students find the answers for the numbers
on the edge).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Calculation Aid</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Once your students are familiar with the use of the Hundred
Chart, it can be used to help students calculate the answers to addition and
subtraction problems to 100. For example, the problem 83-54 might look a little
daunting to a student, <i>but it can be easily solved using a Hundred Chart</i>. Begin
by putting your finger on the 83 square. To subtract fifty, move your finger up
five spaces to the 33 square. To subtract four, move your finger to the left
(then up to the end of the row above) four spaces to the 29 square. <b>Easy!</b> Allowing students to use the <b>Hundred Chart</b> in this way will build a strong
foundation for mental strategies, such as the ‘jump’, ‘split’ and ‘compensation’ strategies (search for these terms in a Math glossary if you are unfamiliar with them).</span></div>

</div>
</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When students are able to use <b>mental strategies</b> to solve
addition and subtraction problems, a Hundred Chart can be used to allow them to
demonstrate their working to you or to the rest of the class. It is always
fascinating to see the different ways other people solve the same problem.
Using the above example of 83-54, some students may use a completely different
strategy. They may, for example, make the 83 into 80 by subtracting 3, subtract
50, subtract 4, and then add on the 3 they took away at the beginning. Or, they
might start by subtracting the tens (80-50), add on 3, and then subtract 4.
Using a Hundred Chart to assist in demonstrating thinking will help the
abstract thought of an individual become visual for others. </span></div>

I'm so excited to share a math project we did recently...all about chocolate chips!<br />
<br />
We are smack-dab in the middle of a unit on <b>addition and subtraction</b>. And of course that means there's a little estimating and problem solving thrown in there as well. And maybe some data collection? Maybe.<br />
<br />
My teaching partner (who is a-maz-ing) came up with the great idea of this fun project that includes <b>estimating, rounding, adding <i>and</i> collecting data to create a scaled pictograph</b>. We used this book's Chocolate Chip Hunt as an inspiration!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
We were *trying* to hit these CC Standards:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwVPklpwky_K5TaD5muFPEpzTWXk5gA_QIpPN4gRFit6kHYzJ6yeWNG0gMUmxr7PSqQH-fl0Dt0BeKdPsA_0R0HOcYQdWzXFuI1JVGBtkhWjCNVPf5mWkAjRDpULvr8CHx95Wa689S0doD/s1600/Slide1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwVPklpwky_K5TaD5muFPEpzTWXk5gA_QIpPN4gRFit6kHYzJ6yeWNG0gMUmxr7PSqQH-fl0Dt0BeKdPsA_0R0HOcYQdWzXFuI1JVGBtkhWjCNVPf5mWkAjRDpULvr8CHx95Wa689S0doD/s640/Slide1.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
First, my friends got one cookie. Just one. It was torture. Because I wouldn't let them eat it. Or touch it. Or sniff it. I couldn't take a picture here because I had to give everyone the evil eye so they wouldn't eat/touch/sniff their cookie.<br />
<br />
Their job was to <b>estimate</b> how many chocolate chips were in their cookie. No cheating by counting of course! So they looked at their cookies and finally a few turned them over to see what was on the bottom and they came up with some estimates. We had LOTS of ideas..."10!" "No, 25!" "No, 50!" (Whoa.) Then they recorded them in their Chocolate Chip Cookie Packet. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh50YvI9WDIq7QICVZgI3pjaO8FvmoAtMyHZyFSyWF0YIiC7aB8b8eXAsh9jh4GRmmbXUYldLt5MMu0GMBLLRPhVlNkRHhu7TqClhdfKB0JgrTIUaeK9JahRMBjshX4I8bai-NZ7C-7qIRD/s1600/Packet+Collage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh50YvI9WDIq7QICVZgI3pjaO8FvmoAtMyHZyFSyWF0YIiC7aB8b8eXAsh9jh4GRmmbXUYldLt5MMu0GMBLLRPhVlNkRHhu7TqClhdfKB0JgrTIUaeK9JahRMBjshX4I8bai-NZ7C-7qIRD/s640/Packet+Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
After they estimated, they were allowed to count the actual amount of chips in their cookies. My evil eye worked almost too well, as some of them didn't want to touch the cookie to turn it over. But we got past it and started counting chocolate chips and recording the actual number in our packets.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOZx9JyHoM85mhqUh2G8UFP9_9czUqy3q1NWhMCtVpfEBr3BNdwcn729JC7TGhDPlWhTKRV7asbYc9IMQaDETd_FomaPHthGmR1N4HA1xQ7lG2ZO-EXkIbVfnDtln9kZMqdEXLZd8ejJmL/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOZx9JyHoM85mhqUh2G8UFP9_9czUqy3q1NWhMCtVpfEBr3BNdwcn729JC7TGhDPlWhTKRV7asbYc9IMQaDETd_FomaPHthGmR1N4HA1xQ7lG2ZO-EXkIbVfnDtln9kZMqdEXLZd8ejJmL/s640/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Once we estimated and counted Cookie #1, we estimated Cookie #2 and Cookie #3. I tried to emphasize using the previous actual number of chips to improve the estimates...some people saw the value in this, and some did not. We are still working on it...<br />
<br />
Everyone estimated and then actually counted the chips in all three of their cookies. They recorded all their data in their packets. They also wrote about how they estimated.<br />
<br />
In the packet they also estimated the total number of chips in all three cookies by <b>rounding </b>and then added to find the total amount. No pictures here because I was helping people remember adding strategies... :-/<br />
<br />
Once everyone was done remembering how to add three numbers, we collected some data. They wrote their estimates of the total number of chocolate chips on a sticky and put it on the board. We organized it and then they made a line plot to show our estimates.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZ0IfsZ7ax7UsWCJXQ05wOBfAyTsluehsOPOLUqlbHj1_LQ0oMDtDY20_8NIJrWoS9Qc4B_3FHy2IeaXUrXgdRvEdsCTlA54lPqwVvETkEStqDHK5f6236trM82UaoyXkkvTo22JbWqcJ/s1600/Chocolate_Chips27.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZ0IfsZ7ax7UsWCJXQ05wOBfAyTsluehsOPOLUqlbHj1_LQ0oMDtDY20_8NIJrWoS9Qc4B_3FHy2IeaXUrXgdRvEdsCTlA54lPqwVvETkEStqDHK5f6236trM82UaoyXkkvTo22JbWqcJ/s400/Chocolate_Chips27.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then they wrote about how the data looked on the line plot. We tried to make a line plot of the data of everyone's actual number of chocolate chips, but that didn't really work out since EVERYONE had a different actual number. That would have been one gigantic line plot...so we just talked about it and moved on.<br />
<br />
Last, but not least, we learned about scaled pictographs and used our chocolate chip cookie data to create one with a key!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_9kBx5Q_D7V7QsXjLcDFgs4sxr7K9dXAa0RlLWwsbzbtklq9S2POjwhKqrLjpJd_o6Os9_Lf8aqrHTqy0n3M0jULpd3knYHjuY8d8Mi_7FYLq-HBHVrDob727U23Ui-NFqwB-9KtzU5E/s1600/Pictograph.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx_9kBx5Q_D7V7QsXjLcDFgs4sxr7K9dXAa0RlLWwsbzbtklq9S2POjwhKqrLjpJd_o6Os9_Lf8aqrHTqy0n3M0jULpd3knYHjuY8d8Mi_7FYLq-HBHVrDob727U23Ui-NFqwB-9KtzU5E/s400/Pictograph.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
They used their scaled pictograph to answer a few questions, and it was interesting! We still need some work on this, but I thought they did a pretty good job for their first try. :-)<br />
<br />
Overall, I felt like this project was a success! They practiced estimating, rounding, adding, and collecting and organizing data! It took us a few days to get through it all, but they loved every minute of it.<br />
<br />
ESPECIALLY when they got to eat their cookies...no evil eye necessary! <br />
<br />
What fun math projects have you done with your kiddos?<br />

<br /></div>
I am writing this post from Sydney, Australia and it is late spring. The garden is full of life, I'm spending a lot of time in my hammock and the weather is beautiful! Well, it is today. It rained for a week before today! I'm not quite sure what inspired me to write about angles. Perhaps it is the view out my home office window - the carport, with its <b>angular </b>support structure. Or perhaps it really is because angles are all around us, so they creep into our subconscious and occasionally leap out into conscious thought! Either way, I have been thinking about angles a lot lately. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In Australia, we don't start teaching about <b>angles </b>until 3rd or 4th Grade. By this time, students have a fair bit of <b>life experience with angles</b> in the real world. One of the best ways to help students get their head around the different types of <b>angles </b>is to tap into this <b><i>real world understanding. </i></b></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Go on a Scavenger Hunt</h2><div style="text-align: left;">Take your students for an <b>angle-spotting walk</b> around the school. Here are some angles to look out for:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Acute Angles </b>Look for slightly opened doors, gaps between a building and an eave, a slice of pizza in someone's lunch box, and triangles in architecture (at least two angles of a triangle will be acute).</li><li><b>Right Angles </b>Look for the corners of squares and rectangles in architecture, handball squares painted on the playground, windows, doors and bricks.</li><li><b>Obtuse Angles </b>Look for triangles in architecture (at least one angle of a triangle is likely to be obtuse) and the inner angle of triangular roof-tops.</li><li><b>Straight Angles </b>Look for straight lines - any kind - I think this one is pretty self-explanatory!</li><li><b>Reflex Angles </b>Look for open rubbish bin lids (we call them wheelie bins in Australia - the kind of bin with a hinged lid) and the outer angle of triangular roof-tops.</li><li><b>Revolutions </b>Look for a closed book, and 12 noon on an analogue clock.</li></ul>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Make Angle with their Bodies</h2>
<div>
Another fun idea is to have students make angles with their bodies. Divide students into pairs and have them lie on the ground with their feet touching. Call out an angle and have the pairs make the kind of angle you have called out with their bodies (the two students are the lines of the angle). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Perfect Pinterest Resources</h2><div>
I came across a terrific Pinterest board devoted to angles, which has lots of great ideas for teaching about angles. You can find it <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/drnicki7/angles/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div><i>
In order to help students remember the different kinds of angles, repetition is the key. Once they are familiar with the terms, the more they hear them and use them in context, the more likely they are to remember which is which! </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Angle Scoot Game</h2><div>
In the Little Green TpT store, I have just posted a new resource to help your students review angles. It is a <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Math-Scoot-Task-Cards-Angle-Identification-and-Measurement-992320" target="_blank">Scoot Review Game</a>. I've made it a little bit Christmas to suit the season, but the theme is subtle enough that the set can be used at any time of year.</div>

Guess what we are learning about in third grade??</div><div>
<br />
You guessed it...fractions!<br />
<br />
Ok, ok. I know I sound way more excited that any one person should be about fractions. In fact, fractions are frustrating (for me and the kiddos) and they often lead me to feel like I should find an empty space on the brick wall and bang my head on it a few times.<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whole-y-Cow-Fractions-Are-Fun/dp/1585364606" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
However, I have found a few things that help make fractions a little more <strike>fun</strike> tolerable.<br />
<br />
First off, have you seen this adorable book?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1585364606/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1585364606&linkCode=as2&tag=mathtime02-20&linkId=d889872084ca07a27f3c67f3ffd0cebd" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&MarketPlace=US&ASIN=1585364606&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL250_&tag=mathtime02-20" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<br />
It does a great job of introducing fractional ideas, and I think it was fun to use at the beginning of our unit. The kids liked it and it's so cute! You can click the picture to snag a copy on Amazon.<br />
<br />
We are using a Math Workshop model for the first time this year, so I've been looking for activities to help the kids practice fractions independently.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I found this amazing freebie by <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Michelle-Walker">Michelle Walker</a> that they can use in a small group to practice matching the fraction, the word and the picture. It is fun and cute! And FREE!<br />

They have been using them to practice matching and using them as a memory-style game. They love it! <br />
<br />
Last, but not least, I found a few online games that groups can use on laptops or the Smartboard.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
This is a fun Angry Birds style game. It shows the kids a representation of a fraction and they have to line up the rock and fling it at the correct fraction! It's a big fave right now.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Fraction Booster has a few different levels. They have everything from splitting pizza into equal pieces to identifying fractions to putting fractions on a number line!<br />

<br />
Dolphin Racing lets the kids race their dolphin by choosing the fraction with the highest value. You should hear the shouts when their dolphin is winning!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Since finding TeachersPayTeachers, I’ve become obsessed with
<b>task cards.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw them all over the site
and had to do some research to figure out just what a task card was and how you
use them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few blogs I used to help
with my research were <a href="http://www.teachingwithtaskcards.com/">http://www.teachingwithtaskcards.com/</a>
and <a href="http://task-cards.com/">http://task-cards.com/</a> and once I read
these, I was sold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where were <b>task cards</b>
when I was in the classroom?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These would
have been awesome to use during math workshop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We created different activities that were similar, but I had never heard
the term <b>task cards.</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
A task card is basically an individual card (sizes vary)
that has one problem on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Task cards</b>
can be used for any subject but thinking about math <b>task cards</b>, it would have
one problem related to the subject being taught.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They can be used in a variety of ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are just a few ideas:<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Replace Worksheets - Task cards could replace worksheets in
your classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead of completing a
lengthy worksheet, students work on one card at a time to show their
understanding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This makes it less
overwhelming and cuts down on paper.</li></ul><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Math Centers – You could put a stack of task cards at a
center and students work to complete as many as possible in the given amount of
time.</li></ul></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Whole Class Activity – Task cards could be used by the
whole class at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usually
the games or ideas for this have to do with getting the class up and moving
around the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One idea is to place
cards all around the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students need
to wander the room and solve the problems on the cards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another game is called Scoot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this game, there is a card on each
student’s desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each student solves
their card and then after a given amount of time, they all move to the next
seat and solve that problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
continue this until they have solved all the problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></li></ul></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Preassessment – Use in a whole group or small group setting
to see what students know before you have taught the concept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This data would be helpful to group students
with common needs for small group work during the rest of the unit.</li></ul></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Assessment – Again, this could be done as a center or as a
whole class activity but use the task cards to determine what the students
learned during the unit you just finished teaching.</li></ul></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Review – A great way to review before the end of a unit or
an assessment is to use task cards to review the concepts covered.</li></ul><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Problem of the day – Hand out a task card as students enter
the classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have them glue them into
a math notebook and solve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Discuss as a
class strategies used to solve the problems.</li></ul><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Early Finishers – Keep early finishers on task (haha) by
having them work on task cards while other students are still working.</li></ul><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Partner activity – Give each student a card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have them pair up and solve their partner’s
card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once they finish, have them find a
different partner and solve that card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Continue pairing up until all cards have been solved.</li></ul><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
The great part about task cards is that it is easy to
<b>differentiate </b>for each student.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
example, have a high student solve the entire stack of task cards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A struggling student can have the goal to
solve five cards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Making it just one
problem at a time makes it less overwhelming for those struggling
students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I’ve been busy making task cards for my TpT store ever since
I fell in love with the concept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I
head back into the classroom, I plan on using these in all subject areas but
especially in math.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far I’ve created <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Place-Value-Task-Cards-Bundle-for-Second-Grade-851540">place

It's Kelly from <a href="http://littlegreenteacher.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Little Green</a> here, and today I want to talk delicious data and great graphs with you! When I teach data and graphing, I find that there are a couple of areas in which students consistently struggle: asking questions that can be answered by the data in a graph and graphing conventions.<br />
<br />
<b>Asking Questions</b><br />
<br />
There are two different points at which we have students ask questions with graphing. Firstly, our students ask questions in order to collect data that they can then turn into a graph. While it may seem obvious to us that only some questions will lead to valid data for a graph, it isn't so obvious to our students. While we certainly don't want to crush their natural curiosity, students need to know that when it comes to graphs, only some questions are useful.<br />
<br />
Common mistakes at this point of the graphing journey include:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Asking too many questions</li>
<li>Asking open-ended questions</li>
<li>Asking questions that are too complex</li>
<li>Giving too many options</li>
<li>Not giving enough options</li>
<li>Not giving the right options</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Secondly, our students ask questions about graphs at the other end of the graphing journey, in order to analyse the information they contain. The kinds of questions they might ask could include:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>What is most popular?</li>
<li>What is least popular?</li>
<li>Combining questions (e.g. Which two options have the same value?)</li>
<li>Pattern questions (e.g. looking for trends)</li>
<li>Comparison questions (e.g. How many more people chose 'x' than 'y'?)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Let's look at a simple graph about pet ownership.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUmsMiGV46TOpG-nTgjfo3tVhFAm2cUHIT8ykcb_JNXs4KT1rCA9bJmAdX8bQpNtHFXhO8CEsYqkJRrRdc1SM-sYDcbQpgBlACNPer1rrNtgwPTy8M0fIg_-IeyRBE83lReDJeQQNpN4/s1600/Graph.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUmsMiGV46TOpG-nTgjfo3tVhFAm2cUHIT8ykcb_JNXs4KT1rCA9bJmAdX8bQpNtHFXhO8CEsYqkJRrRdc1SM-sYDcbQpgBlACNPer1rrNtgwPTy8M0fIg_-IeyRBE83lReDJeQQNpN4/s1600/Graph.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Where do our students go wrong in analysing a graph like this?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>They ask questions to find information that cannot be known for sure (e.g. The question 'How many students are in the class?' cannot be answered by this graph. We would be making an assumption that each student has only one pet if we said 32. We also don't know whether everyone in the class has a pet - were the non-pet owners excluded from this graph?)</li>
<li>They ask philosophical questions (e.g. Why are there more rats and mice than any other pet? Although we could make an educated guess that people usually have more than one of these pets at a time or that they reproduce at a fast rate, we cannot honestly say that this information is stated in the graph itself.)</li>
<li>They forget about what has been excluded from the graph (e.g. Looking at this graph, one might say that rats and mice are the most owned pet in the class, but if 12 people have horses, horses would be the most owned pet. They just weren't included as an option.)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
We need our students to understand that graphs are limited in their scope. This is an important critical literacy skill to develop, as graphs are part of our everyday experience. Advertisers use graphs and data to sell us things, and if we don't have the critical literacy skills to not only read the information in a graph, but also to consider its source and what has been excluded, the proverbial wool may be pulled over our eyes. Giving our students real examples of graphs (including poorly-constructed and biased graphs) from different sources will help them to develop this vital skill.<br />
<br />
<b>Graphing Conventions</b><br />
<br />
The other aspect of graphing that can cause some trouble is in graphing conventions. I must admit, I'm a bit of a stickler for neat, ordered work in Math, as I find that sloppy work often leads to errors. When it comes to graphs in particular, there are some non-negotiable inclusions that add to our understanding of the graphs we read. These are:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>a title (How can we know what the graph is about without a title?)</li>
<li>labels on each axis (Labels let us know what is being measured in a graph.)</li>
<li>a key (A key lets us know what is being graphed and, in the case of some graphs, lets us know the value of each segment.)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
If any of these elements are missing, it is impossible to determine exactly what has been graphed. And, let's face it, precision is important in Math!<br />
<br />
<b>A Freebie!</b><br />
<br />
Help is at hand if your students are struggling with their graphing conventions (or if you wish to reinforce their understanding of these conventions). I have designed a little poster to remind students of what they need to do when they create their own graphs. You can get it <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/FREE-Great-Graphs-Teaching-Poster-for-Teaching-Graphing-Conventions-in-Math-934827" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

A group of teacher/authors from Teachers Pay Teachers have collaborated to create various free fall themed downloads available via their Facebook pages. Unfortunately I have not been able to participate this time around as I've not managed to find the time to create a business Facebook account, however it is near the top of my to do list! <br />
<br />
My favourite resource in this frenzy is by Chrystine of <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Tweet-Music" target="_blank">Tweet Music</a>. Chrystine is an amazingly talented music and performance arts teacher. She has recorded the song "Five Little Pumpkins" AND created a mini Halloween Math and Literacy Interactive Notebook resource (did I mention for <b>free</b>?) <br />

Even though it's not really math related, it's still something I love to do!<br />
<br />
This fun craft can also be tied into reading and writing, so you're safe if anyone (you know, ANYONE) pops in while you are crafting away. I may have ranted a <strike>little</strike> lot about kids being kids on my other blog {<a href="http://craftofteaching.blogspot.com/2013/10/an-apple-day.html">here</a>} if you are interested....<br />
<br />
This activity is super easy and the kids love it!<br />
<br />
For read aloud on Owl Fun Day, I pick <u>Owls</u> by Gail Gibbons. She's a great nonfiction author...I love her books!<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
We usually use a few sticky notes to write down a few facts we already know about owls. This is especially great when you are working on activating schema or background knowledge!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As we read, they wrtte down facts they
learn about owls from the book. They use small stickies again. I
use the Sharing Board from Laura Candler's Graphic Organizers for
Reading to help them organize and keep track of their sticky notes.<br />
<br />After we read and write facts on our sticky notes, we use this awesome graphic organizer to collect the facts!<span style="color: #0000ee;"> <span style="color: #0000ee;"><span style="color: black;">Christi</span><span style="color: #0000ee;"><span style="color: black;">n</span><span style="color: #0000ee;"><span style="color: black;">a from</span> <a href="http://bainbridgeclass.blogspot.com/">Bunting</a><span style="color: #0000ee;"><a href="http://bainbridgeclass.blogspot.com/">, Books and Bainbr</a><span style="color: #0000ee;"><a href="http://bainbridgeclass.blogspot.com/">idge</a> <span style="color: black;">made this awesome organizer.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
The first part asks them to write what they already know, and the second part asks them to write what they learned. The very last part asks them to write a question they still have. It is perfect to go with our owl fact sticky notes from earlier! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
After Nicole’s post a few weeks ago about technology in the
classroom, it got me thinking about how I used technology in my classroom
especially during math. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For most of my time in the classroom, I was fortunate to
have a document camera. The brand must
have been ELMO because we always called it “The Elmo.” This was a modern version of the overhead projector. It would project an image onto a screen but
now there was no need to create a transparency.
You could set any document under the camera and it would project the
image for the whole class to see. I used
this ALL the time. I would put books
under the camera, especially when I wanted the class to focus on something in
particular that they may not have been able to see if I just read it to them
and they sat on the carpet. I would also
put any worksheets/assignments under it to go over directions. That way they could clearly see what was
expected of them. I loved to use the
document camera for teaching games.
Before the ELMO, I would have the students sit in a circle on the carpet
and try to show them how to play a game that way. This always resulted in someone getting
excited and kneeling, or moving closer and someone else in the circle not being
able to see. With the document camera,
this problem was solved. I could play
the game under the camera and all the students could see what I was doing. It was awesome!!! My teacher computer was also connected to
this, so with an additional cord, I could project images from my computer onto
the screen. This came in handy when I
was teaching my students about games and websites. I could model how to use them and they could
all see on the big screen what I was clicking on and what they would need to do
in order to play the game. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our classrooms had three student computers and that was
about the extent of the technology. We
had a tv and dvd player in the room but no Ipads or tablets or anything fun
like I read about in other classrooms.
We tried to make the most of the student computers. During math workshop, I always included a
computer station. Each group would have
a chance to spend one rotation on the computers (which equals once a week.) This meant they had to partner up because my
groups were usually 5-7 students. Each
week, I would try to find a game on a website that taught, reinforced or
previewed concepts being covered during that week of workshop. Some games I found could be differentiated
for each group, all from the same website.
Some weeks, I would have different groups use different websites in
order to make the games more applicable to that group’s needs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are some strategies I found useful to help manage the
computer use in the classroom. First, I
had a file that was saved on a shared district drive where I would add the
website links as I would find them. I
put this file on the shared drive so that I could access the file from the
student computers as well as my teacher computer. This saved me from having to type in long
website addresses – just click on the link and I was there. Once the computers were booted up, I would
open the file, click the link and then bookmark the site for the week onto the
student computers. Second, I spent time
teaching the class how to open the browser, find their bookmarks and click on
the game for the week. This was helpful
because every week someone would click out of the game or need to restart and
now they could solve the problem by themselves, without interrupting me and the
group I was working with at the back table.
Third, I would show them the game for the week and how to play it before
math workshop started. That way they
knew what to expect and we could answer the one million what if questions ahead
of time. It also helped that I would
spend some time playing the games before I taught the class so I could help
answer questions and troubleshoot. We
also learned the hard way that it was important for me to play a game from
beginning to end before allowing the students to try. One week, I didn’t do this and the students
started to play the game. After just a
few rounds the game stopped and required the students to sign up and have an
account to continue playing. Lesson
learned – take the time to play the game.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve compiled a list of math websites that include games for
a variety of math topics at all different levels (preK-high school.) Some of these were websites I used in my
classroom or had friends that used them in their classrooms. The rest came from fellow teachers on
TeachersPayTeachers who graciously shared their favorite math websites with me. I briefly checked out each website and
attempted to add if it cost money or needed an account. As mentioned above, sometimes the requirement
for creating an account doesn't pop up until after you've spent some time on
the site, so be aware that this is a possibility with some of these sites. I also added the grade level and topics covered
to the best of my ability. Obviously,
this is just a small sampling of all the math websites that are available on
the internet. Hopefully, this will be a
good starting resource for you and maybe you will find a few new sites to try
out in your classroom. You can find this FREE Excel file here: <o:p></o:p><a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Math-Game-Website-Links-PreK-12th-grade-925618">http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Math-Game-Website-Links-PreK-12th-grade-925618</a></div>

<h2>
A Little History....</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many of my Japanese friends have been astonished to learn that Hallowe'en is not originally from the US. The Americans embraced it, embellished it with "jack-o'-lanterns" (I learned that word here in Japan) and the phrase "Trick or Treat!", however it has western European roots. It is thought to have been primarily influenced by the Celtic Samhain (a Gaelic festival celebrating the end of the harvest season). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The actual phrase is a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening" and I therefore spell it "Hallowe'en" - this is something all of my primary school and high school teachers were <i><b>very particular </b></i>about and it stuck! However, I've noticed that the inclusion of the apostrophe has been dropped by Americans. That said, I can't bring myself to spell it "Halloween" in my TpT store, even though it's an American website, it just seems so wrong to me. Can you tell I was really influenced by my teachers? :-) </div>

Playdough is fun <b><i>and</i></b> includes many benefits:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- it's therapeutic, there is definitely something calming about squishing and moulding</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- it develops finger muscles which are important for pencil control and scissor skills</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- it can be used to support math and literacy concepts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- it develops creativity, the possibilities of a lump of dough are endless! </div>

This week, monster baby and I have been working on playdough skills; specifically rolling dough into snakes and then placing it on Hallowe'en themed mats to make faces, numbers and letters. </div>

I'd love to hear your ideas for Hallowe'en with preschoolers and kinders. Particularly because the local mother/toddler group have asked me to do a Hallowe'en Circle Time in English as part of their anniversary celebrations at the end of this month! (eeek!) </div>
