Most of my new thinking happens during the summer when time for reflection happens for a longer period of time. Figuring out how my math lessons can be more exciting to children and at the same time building deeper connections with math and how the real world can be integrated within the school year.
September 22, 2011 Math Lesson: Skip counting by 5s
Made a collection of printed material through advertisement, local city magazines, county and metroplex newspapers, postcards and we (1st grade students) had prior practice of skip counting by 5s through song and 100 t-chart.
