During our new math workshop time, we have been adding a little more choice into our math learning. After the mini-lesson and journal pages portion of math workshop, students get to make a choice to play ST math or do math games. End of playing math games 2 times a week and St math another 2 times a week. Giving students choice on what they want to do each day enables them to feel more in charge of their learning. The math games that we are introducing are either practicing the skills like counting on, combining sets, seeing smaller groups within bigger numbers, or strategical thinking and problem solving skills. Many of these games have been found at blue highway games on Queen Anne or online at k-5teachingresources.com.
Watch us grow as mathematicians!- Don't forget to comment with your student about our learning! Archives
