I have been a fifth grade Math teacher for 17 years. I have a masters degree in Mathematics and strive to use technology & activity based lessons everyday!
Gr. 4 #Mathematicians@wcdsbStPaul integrating #STEAM challenges from @mathchick5 to collaborate and build "The Longest Paper Chain" with only 1 paper, scissors and glue! Cultivating a community of problem solvers and the power of risk taking!
Today we’re working on writing algebraic expressions! I got the idea from @mathchick5 to use the book “One is a Snail Ten is a Crab” to make this complex topic more student friendly. I love the literacy connection. My 5th graders had a blast! @LCISDeast#EEpirates@lubbockcooper
Help! Mrs. Ransom’s class is stuck in the 80’s! The only way to breakout of the 80’s is to solve a series of integer operation problems and unlock all the locks! Hurry before it’s too late! A big thanks to @mathchick5@HumbleISD_KMS#kmscougarpride
Math can be fun. A race to see who can breakout first from the Safari by doing rates and ratios.... a fun activity enjoyed by all. @LBPearsonOCSB Thanks @mathchick5
Using our knowledge of volume of rectangular prisms to build a pool for 300 goldfish. Who can make the best sized pool for the goldfish? #rtsd26learns#rtmssparks@mathchick5
STAAR Wars themed day to review all division and multiplication! Thank you @mathchick5 for the awesome activity! I giggled hearing my student say “ooohhhhh I forgot my placeholder zero!” LOVED the convos. #toschpride#mesq5th
#STEM
S- science and literacy
T-technology and literacy
E-engineering and literacy
M-mathematics and literacy
#Literacy is focal to all of the above. Every discipline is responsible for domain literacy.
Never is literacy the exclusive role of an English T.
