Monday Math Literature Volume 47


If you lot missed final week's Mon Math Literature nearly a few fun tangram books in addition to a dandy complimentary app for tangrams, you lot tin check it out here!

Today I desire to part amongst you lot a actually fun mass that is dandy to move equally math literature in addition to likewise makes a dandy mentor text for writing workshop.

s

I late used this mass amongst a grouping of pre-K students who volition live on starting Kindergarten inwards the fall.  My destination was uncomplicated merely of import for kids this age.  I wanted to piece of employment on seat out recognition, 1 to 1 correspondence in addition to writing the numbers to 10.  I likewise was going to live on making a footling frog arts and crafts in addition to wanted to necktie everything into the frog theme.  


The dandy business office nearly this mass is that it tin live on used amongst older students equally good equally a mentor text for writing time.  As the seat out of frogs on the log increases, in addition to hence does the seat out of adjectives used to depict the log.  This is a dandy text to move when working on improving adjectives inwards students' writing.  

After listening to the story, nosotros went dorsum through the pages inwards random companionship in addition to worked on identifying numbers.  As you lot tin run into inwards the moving-picture demo above, in that place is a prissy numeral inwards the transcend left corner of each page.  Some kids could position the numeral correct away spell others needed to count the frogs.  This was dandy formative assessment for me to run into who already recognizes numbers to 10.

Then I had kids describe numbers to 10 on this footling one-half canvass of paper.  

You tin see this footling printable for complimentary on Google drive
Then nosotros made around sweetness footling frogs in addition to when they were dry out nosotros used them to do counting in addition to do around uncomplicated add-on in addition to subtraction storey problems equally a group.  If you lot are working amongst slightly older students, I accept several other frog themed freebies that I move amongst kids inwards Kindergarten in addition to starting fourth dimension grade.  

These cute footling frogs doubled equally father's 24-hour interval gifts!
These frogs are uncomplicated plenty for real minor kids in addition to await cute fifty-fifty if they are non that crafty!  All you lot demand is around rocks, paint, wiggle eyess in addition to green arts and crafts foams!  We used the yard in addition to garden multifariousness of pigment that is specifically made for ikon rocks in addition to does non launder out 1 time dry.  These frogs were meant to double equally father's 24-hour interval gifts in addition to many kids wanted them to live on left out inwards the garden.  The pigment washed correct off when it was notwithstanding moisture merely shouldn't 1 time dry.

Book Study Part 5: Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids

Welcome to calendar week five of our Whole Brain Teaching Book Study.   This calendar week nosotros are talking close chapters 15-18 which comprehend around of the big ideas related to Scoreboard.  I enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts on final week's post.  It is non to belatedly to bring together in!  If you lot desire to grab up, simply grab a re-create of the mass too alternative upward where nosotros are or buy the farm dorsum too comment on yesteryear posts.  Here is the posting schedule.

Chapter 15: The Super Improvers Team

The persuasion of creating a organisation where everyone is rewarded for improvement is great.  "The race is to a greater extent than rewarding too motivating when nosotros halt racing each other too race against ourselves."  School volition non live on a successful house for most learners if this does non happen.  I experience similar the shift to differentiated didactics along alongside the emphasis my schoolhouse has placed on having math too literacy specialists has done a nifty bargain toward moving kids too parents to a unlike mindset.  The organisation described for the Super Improvers Team seems really manageable too I intend most of my students would response actually good to that type of motivation.

Chapter 16: State Test Scores too the Super Improvers Team

I know most teachers too students dislike the Earth examination too avoid thinking close it at all costs.  However, Earth tests stay of import mainly because similar it or non the scores are reported to the community too are ofttimes how a schoolhouse is judged yesteryear the full general public.  To me, the most of import affair inwards this chapter is to brand certain "students accept something concrete too specific to create equally opposed to engaging inwards mystifying mental activities." In my ain school, examination scores accept improved greatly over the final 10 years inwards business office because nosotros accept done a amend chore designing too implementing interventions too inwards business office because nosotros accept acquire amend at helping kids educate examination taking skills.  

Chapter 17 too 18: Practice Cards

When a pupil is non next 1 or to a greater extent than of the classroom rules, the adjacent pace is do cards.  The do cards are given to students who are continuously breaking a rule.  They accept to pass two minutes practicing the dominion during each let on too luncheon intermission for the balance of the day.  Additionally, a non is sent domicile to parents close the dominion they are struggling alongside too instructions to do the rule.  My favorite persuasion from this chapter is assigning around other adult on campus equally a substitute nurture for those kids who come upward from families that are unwilling to participate inwards schoolhouse related paperwork similar signing a greenback close working on rules.  This seems similar it would live on an effective means to supply these students around other adult they could trust, confide inwards too that would live on checking inwards on their progress. 

As the twelvemonth progresses to proceed things fresh too ensure students continuously operate toward next the rules, imperial too light-green do cards are introduced.  I similar how these cards reinforce positive behaviors, specially how students are encouraged to proceed a tally of how many times they follow the classroom rule.  

What are your thoughts on the Super Improvers Team too Practice cards?  Do these accept a house inwards your classroom?  

Number Talks Book Study: Part 4

Welcome to calendar week iv of our mass written report on Number Talks.  This is a keen mass for K-5 classroom teachers, exceptional educators in addition to math specialists.  It is also a keen mass for administrators in addition to other educational professionals to read to acquire to a greater extent than almost what practiced math teaching looks like.

This calendar week nosotros dive correct into the grades 3-5 section, looking at strategies in addition to ideas for set out talks around add-on in addition to subtraction.  Next calendar week nosotros volition live on taking a await at the chapters around multiplication in addition to sectionalisation ideas for grades 3-5 hence volition live on wrapping upward this mass written report the next week.  Four weeks downwards in addition to alone 3 to go!  Hope you lot are keeping up!

Chapter 5: How Do I Develop Specific Addition in addition to Subtraction Strategies inward the 3-5 Classroom?

If you lot mean value or bring always visit the traditional algorithm was the alone or the best means to solve multi-digit add-on in addition to subtraction problems, than this chapter is going to opened upward your eyes to an entire novel possibility.  Instead of teaching kids how to produce arithmetics problems, this chapter focuses on how to elicit invented strategies from students.  You volition live on amazed at what students volition come upward up alongside given the correct environment.  These are efficient in addition to elegant strategies based on house value in addition to the properties of add-on in addition to subtraction.  The best utilization is the teacher's utilization is to facilitate thinking, non to tell kids how to produce it!  

I can't tell plenty almost the ability of students learning math this way.  My schoolhouse has gone from teaching kids how to produce an algorithm in addition to making them practise it a meg times to a set out talks model where kids are constructing their ain cognition in addition to edifice on the ideas of their classmates.  Now nosotros bring kids who really empathise math in addition to operations every bit opposed to kids who bring memorized a procedure.  The biggest alter of all has come upward from teachers of older students who never bring to say, "this kid forgot how to subtract!"  What they used to hateful when they said that is that the kid forgot the steps to the physical care for in addition to didn't bring whatsoever other method to autumn dorsum on.  Now nosotros know kids actually produce know how to subtract in addition to if they haven't done a subtraction work inward a few weeks or months, the cognition they bring almost subtraction is hence interconnected alongside other things they know in addition to bring constructed for themselves, that this cognition does non fade.

Chapter 6: How Do I Design Purposeful Addition in addition to Subtraction Number Talks inward the 3-5 Classroom? 

This chapter made me actually want I had read this mass earlier starting Number Talks inward my classroom.  There are hence many ideas for work strings to produce alongside students to acquire at the strategies you lot desire them to have.  I learned a lot of what this chapter presents through lawsuit in addition to error.  Here are a few things that struck me from this chapter:
- The subtle divergence inward how kids brand friendly numbers is the essence of the dissimilar strategies.
- Start alongside modest numbers!
- We desire students to bring a toolbox of strategies based on reasoning.
- Giving kids work strings allows them to apply strategies they merely heard used to the side past times side problem.
- The visit of compensation is HUGE!
- In subtraction, the distance the numbers are from each other volition termination what strategies are efficient.
- Remember the benefits of putting problems inward context.  
- Embrace the ability of negative numbers.

Wormy Apple Counting Strips



For a long fourth dimension now, I receive got been a large fan of using counting strips inward the classroom.  They are a bang-up agency to increase a student's mightiness to rote count together with gives them a fun agency to exercise a real of import skill.  The other affair I dear near counting strips is that you lot tin role them to count forwards or backward together with tin start together with halt on whatever release you lot please.

Because I oftentimes travel inward the classroom co-teaching equally good equally doing interventions, some kids cease upwardly spending quite a chip of fourth dimension amongst me together with consequently if I don't choke along my materials fresh, they acquire a chip bored.  So this year, I worked on updating some of my counting strips, adding novel ones together with ones that are shorter together with longer.  I too made them much cuter than inward the yesteryear together with yesteryear printing a bunch of tiny heads, I turned many of them into worms.  Also instead of having them draw the counting strip through an index carte du jour or a fight of paper, I made some apples instead.  This made counting strips experience fresh together with novel ane time to a greater extent than together with gave my students fifty-fifty to a greater extent than exercise amongst of import skills. 


I too had quite a grouping of students this twelvemonth who needed a lot of exercise amongst release writing hence I too made these strips using a real cool point to point font.  Now kids who demand release writing exercise tin describe these numbers earlier nosotros seat the strips together.


This seems to order kids a greater feel of ownership of these counting strips than when I exactly made them myself.  Even if I am the ane doing the cutting together with taping, they experience similar they created it.  

 By making these counting strips cuter together with getting the kids to a greater extent than involved, I receive got had to a greater extent than students who desire to accept them domicile together with play (practice) amongst them in that place equally well.  

I receive got used these inward grades K-2 this year.  Here is a peak at how I receive got used them.

Kindergarten

This makes a bang-up whole degree lesson for kindergarten.  I similar to order them the 1-100 point to point sheet.  For kids who are non cook for the entire thing, I similar to start them off amongst the numbers from 1-10 or from 1-20.  It is absolutely fine if some kids are working amongst smaller numbers together with others are working amongst larger ones.  This is a bang-up agency to differentiate!  I too volition start some kids off counting backwards yesteryear 1's long earlier others are cook at this age.  Just draw the strip inward the contrary direction together with they are counting backwards!  A large affair to recollect amongst Kindergartners is that they should hold upwardly counting starting at dissimilar numbers.  Make certain you lot don't ever start from 1!

A bang-up house to start amongst Kindergarten students
These curt strips are too bang-up for K together with degree 1.  It is a VERY adept agency to conduct house pulling through the decade.  They are too less intimidating than a huge 1-100 or 1-120 strip!

First Grade

In firstly degree I actually similar making the 1-120 strip amongst the whole degree together with and hence receive got them role it dissimilar ways to exercise rote counting forwards together with backwards yesteryear 1's.  I too role the strips pictured higher upwardly a lot, peculiarly when I am doing interventions on kids who demand travel pulling though those tricky decade numbers.  I too innovate another skip counting strips inward kindergarten paying detail attending to counting forwards together with backwards yesteryear 10's together with counting yesteryear 5's. 

These skip counting strips aid my students larn to count yesteryear 5's 10's together with 2's.  I ever receive got students who are cook for a challenge together with they dear trying to count yesteryear 3's!

 Second Grade

In minute grade, it is my undertaking to brand certain students are FLUENT amongst the numbers to 120 at the firstly of the schoolhouse twelvemonth together with cook to tackle numbers to 1000.  I too receive got them role the skip counting strips together with become further than I would brand a K or firstly grader go.  Most students who were challenged yesteryear pulling through the decade inward firstly degree are challenged yesteryear pulling through the century inward minute degree hence I pass a lot of my fourth dimension giving them counting strips that assure they educate this skill.  Just equally before, I brand certain kids tin count forwards together with backwards yesteryear exactly pulling the strips inward the contrary direciton.

These strips are bang-up for minute graders or anyone who needs exercise counting through the century mark!


Regardless of which degree I am using these in, in that place are ever students who actually create do amongst putting them together together with in that place are too students who demand every minute of math education I tin order them hence I oftentimes seat the strips together for students.  Stored rolled upwardly inward a shoe box, counting strips normally concluding me near ii years together with I role them real regularly.  

Here is how I seat them together: 

Cut strips apart together with mucilage on worm head

Place a slice of record over the gap

Fold the record to a greater extent than or less the strip

I shop them yesteryear winding them upwardly amongst the tab on the exterior that says what is on the strip together with and hence newspaper clipping them together.  You tin shop a bunch of them inward a shoe box this agency together with tin ever abide by what you lot demand when working on interventions.  
Have you lot tried using counting strips amongst your students?  If you lot desire to order these ones a endeavour you lot tin grab them from my TPT store!




Monday Math Literature Volume 60

Monday Math Literature Volume 60

As many of you lot know, I get got a huge collection of math literature that I dear using alongside students.  Recently, I got a novel mass to add together to my collection as well as it has already popular off i of my novel favorites.  A few months ago, I shared You Can Count on Monsters with you lot which is a fantastic mass to purpose when talking almost multiplication as well as prime number as well as composite numbers. Richard Evan SchwartzI, the writer of You Can Count on Monsters has written some other book.


I I

This is non your average Math Literature book!  The offset matter that is rattling unlike almost this mass is the length.  It is the longest painting demo mass I ain at almost 200 pages.  Another matter that is rattling unlike is the pictures.  They were made alongside a reckoner drawing programme called Inkscape which makes them engaging as well as bright.  It likewise makes the diagrams as well as other mathematical pictures blend inwards nicely alongside the to a greater extent than traditional illustrations.  

The mass starts out alongside the premises that reading this mass is similar climbing a ladder.  You mightiness non arrive all the means to the move past times the offset time.  This is actually a mass that a kid tin get got approximately for years as well as acquire a flake to a greater extent than out of each fourth dimension they read it as well as their mathematical cognition grows.

I innovation on using this mass inwards only almost every degree this year.  Here are some of my ideas almost using this mass inwards diverse classrooms.

Using this mass alongside K-1 Students

Kids this historic menses seem to mean value 100 is the biggest seat out inwards the world.  I similar the persuasion of using the offset forty pages or then alongside immature children to innovate them to the persuasion of bigger numbers.  These pages accept them through some large ideas for master copy kids almost counting past times 10's, what 100 looks like, counting past times 100's as well as the persuasion of i thousand.  I dear how this mass shows 100 pictured inwards many ways as well as I would pick out this into the classroom past times giving small-scale groups of kids 100 estimating as well as counting skills.   

Taking it to the side past times side bird inwards grades 2-3

As kids start 2d degree as well as start working alongside numbers upward to 1000 I oftentimes start getting questions almost much bigger numbers.  This is likewise when the competitions seem to start where kids endeavour to cite bigger numbers than their friends.  This is likewise when I require heed a lot of imitation numbers similar a gillion (which historically was a number), a zillion or a bazillion.  This is when I similar to get got "the talk" alongside kids almost bigger numbers.  After "the talk" in that place are ever kids who get got to a greater extent than questions almost large numbers than I get got answers to as well as this mass would live on a neat means to assistance respond some of those questions.  I could read the offset 3rd of this mass to the whole degree as well as move out it out for those kids who are cook for to a greater extent than to explore on their ain or inwards a small-scale group.   

Getting at some large ideas inwards grades 4-6

At this level, I get got some kids who are already showing huge mathematical potential.  I get got kids who are ever thinking almost math.  The questions inwards this mass similar "how many ways tin you lot color a tic-tac-toe board alongside 3 colors" acquire kids brains thinking as well as seeing math inwards their everyday lives.  There are many practiced questions as well as ideas inwards this mass that could render the footing of a challenge for kids who are already coming together classroom standards as well as are cook to accept their math learning to the side past times side level. 

As a whole grouping lesson, many students of this historic menses would do goodness from reading most of this book.  Kids this historic menses actually similar to know almost what they are going to larn inwards middle schoolhouse or high schoolhouse as well as this mass tin plough over them some ideas almost that inwards a friendly as well as nonthreatening way.  Hearing seat out words similar quintillion as well as octillion brand kids express joy as well as hold them engaged inwards learning to a greater extent than almost math.  The focus on powers of 10 actually helps kids create on previous house value cognition as well as larn how exponents tin actually speed things up.  

By the fourth dimension you lot acquire to the dorsum cover, you lot volition live on exploring numbers that are completely abstract as well as rattling complex.  There volition in all likelihood live on things you lot every bit a instructor larn almost large numbers from reading this book.  You mightiness non arrive to the terminate the offset fourth dimension you lot read this to a degree or fifty-fifty read it to yourself but the side past times side fourth dimension you lot choice it up, you lot mightiness live on cook to read a flake farther.  This mass has a lot of potential for sparking mathematical curiosity inwards your students spell increasing your ain cognition as well as agreement of actually large numbers.   

How would you lot purpose this mass alongside your students?  Please respond inwards the comments below! 

Number Talks Book Study: Part 5

Welcome to calendar week v of our majority written report on Number Talks.  This is a groovy majority for K-5 classroom teachers, exceptional educators together with math specialists.  It is also a groovy majority for administrators together with other educational professionals to read to larn to a greater extent than near what skillful math teaching looks like.

This calendar week nosotros transition from thinking near add-on together with subtraction to thinking near multiplication together with division.  If y'all consider add-on together with subtraction were a huge alter inward thinking for teachers, hold off until y'all approach the consider of multiplication together with segmentation beingness done mentally alongside teachers together with parents.  Many adults create non fifty-fifty scream upward doing multi-digit multiplication together with segmentation mentally is a possibility.  There are together with thus many people who learned the traditional algorithm equally the ane together with exclusively method for multiplying together with dividing.  Many people lack the conceptual agreement of these operations that is necessary for mental computation.  But don't allow that scare y'all off!  Approaching multiplication together with segmentation inward this way together with having kids invent strategies to solve these type of problems actually does work.                                                                                                                                    

The Array Mode

If y'all bring never used the array model for multiplication together with division, y'all are missing out on a huge opportunity.  There has been a ton of inquiry done near how much the expanse model helps students together with using it inward publish talks is a powerful tool.  Just similar recording add-on together with subtraction ideas on a publish line, using the expanse or array model to tape students' thinking near multiplication together with segmentation volition render a visual together with assist all your students connect the big ideas for these operations.  We started using the expanse model 8 years agone inward my schoolhouse together with what a huge divergence it made!  If y'all desire to read to a greater extent than near this model together with other amazing ideas for teaching multiplication together with segmentation I highly recommend Constructing Multiplication together with Division.  This majority changed the way I scream upward near teaching multiplication together with has made such a divergence inward my school.  

The Number Talks DVD

When watching the publish talks on the DVD this week, I was struck past times how powerful this DVD would move during professional person development.  The publish talks on the DVD create such a groovy undertaking of showing best practices, showing how to create a publish utter together with showing only about of the big ideas of operations together with properties.  Even if y'all exclusively bring professional person evolution fourth dimension inward small-scale chunks similar for an hr after-school, this DVD could move a groovy tool for getting the give-and-take near publish talks going.  Handing busy teachers a big majority together with telling them to read it agency that many folks are non going to e'er opened upward it or larn to a greater extent than near it.  Having the DVD actually could present teachers the ability of the publish utter together with growth their 24-hour interval of the month together with excitement near reading the book.  

Efficiency

I dear the focus on efficiency inward these chapters near multiplication together with division.  It is together with thus of import for kids to prepare efficient strategies for solving problems.  It is groovy when kids prepare novel to them ideas near multiplication together with segmentation but it is our undertaking equally teachers to movement them from less efficient strategies towards to a greater extent than efficient ones that volition run for a diverseness of problems.  I scream upward publish talks are such a powerful way to assist kids brand this transition.  The suggestions near bespeak kids which strategy is most efficient are splendid together with definitely something y'all volition desire to brand certain y'all leave of absence fourth dimension for at the halt of your publish utter time.  

What did y'all exit of this week's chapters?  What bring your experiences been using publish talks for multiplication together with division?  Please response inward the comments below!

In this book, at that topographic point are 10 apples on the tree together with diverse animals come upwards up together with guide maintain an apple tree until at that topographic point are none left.  This makes it a bang-up mass for helping kids instruct familiar amongst numbers to 10.  I made kids newspaper apples together with had them practise their cutting skills past times cutting them apart.


I together with thus had kids figure out how many apples they each had which gave me a bang-up run a jeopardy to run into who could count to 10 together with who has ane to ane correspondence.  I equally good gave each pupil a 10 frame newspaper amongst the numbers to 10 written on it.


For our minute reading of the floor nosotros covered each numeral amongst an apple tree together with and thus counted backwards from 10 regain a release each time.  



Everything y'all take away to do this lesson inward your ain classroom from Google drive!

I equally good followed upwards this lesson amongst a few videos from You Tube.

This ane is a musical rendition of Ten Apples Up on Top! past times medico Seuss.  It is simply about other agency to necktie inward the apple tree topic together with operate amongst numbers upwards to 10.



We equally good did this trivial poetry form together with worked on showing numbers upwards to 10 on our fingers.

Book Study Part 6: Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids

We are over one-half means through our mass written report on Whole Brain Teaching too I own got gotten too hence much skilful information.  In my discussions alongside colleagues too folks commenting on my spider web log too Facebook page I own got heard bully things almost implementing these ideas inward the classroom.  It is non to belatedly to bring together in!  If you lot desire to grab up, exactly grab a re-create of the mass too choice upward where nosotros are or acquire dorsum too comment on past times posts.  Here is the posting schedule.



We\\


Today nosotros are taking a expect at around of the higher levels of Scoreboard

Chapter 19: The Guff Counter

This chapter was total of ideas for turning a students' allies inward bad behaviour against them.  I similar the friendly means this is introduced too the take in of the entire cast responding to guff, non exactly the teacher.  It seems similar this would endure a really powerful means to demo kids who similar to dorsum verbalize that the entire cast sees a occupation alongside it too it isn't exactly the instructor beingness mean. I also similar how the guff counter encourages positive interactions betwixt students non exactly focusing on the instructor to educatee relationship.  

Chapter 20: The Independents

This seems to endure the most effective means to interruption upward those groups of students who encourage each other's bad behavior.  I dearest that "rebellious behaviour past times i educatee has an immediate unpleasant number upon the other students inward the independent group."  The fact that kids tin opt out of beingness inward this grouping but past times bespeak seems to actually endure effective inward breaking upward a group's unity.  The deeper life lesson of knowing that is of import to direct one's friends wisely takes this marking of scoreboard to a really of import take in for success non solely inward the classroom but for life inward general.  This marking also does wonderful things for the kids who are e'er behaving past times putting the worst offenders inward their ain group.

Chapter 21: The Bull's Eye Game

This marking of scoreboard involved no penalty too is reserved for the most challenging students.  I tin come across the appeal inward this for many kids because it is configured similar a game, in that place are no penalties too it is all reward.  This seems similar an engaging means to actually function on specific behaviors.  Because the approach is too hence intentional too i one i it also seems similar a bully means to construct a stronger instructor to educatee human relationship alongside your most challenging students.
Chapter 22: The Agreement Bridge

I own got worked for many years alongside a wonderful guidance counselor that oft occupation solves alongside students inward a fashion really similar to the Agreement Bridge too I own got seen it function wonderfully.  I dearest how it plant towards solving problems piece making instructor to educatee relationships stronger.  It is non threatening too interesting that it is inward a game format.  I yell back this could actually assistance kids larn to occupation solve too gear upward them upward to endure successful inward school.  

What are your thoughts almost these ideas?  I expect forwarding to reading your comments!
