Be a Silly Math Teacher

Be a fun math teacher by sharing real stories about real math situations.  You can make up a silly math song just out of the blue and have your students be the ones to create the math song to whatever skill you are teaching.  Remember it does not have to be perfect... but your math students will remember it forever.  Do something kinetically.  For example, when learning about time and students want to know how long a minute is?  Why not let them do jumping jacks for one minute!  This will help get their hearts going and learn a math skill.  Give it a try and have fun doing math everyday!
