Singapore math

We're still having fun with factors and multiples in the classroom. We've been doing all hands-on and engaging activities - we haven't cracked open our textbooks once this unit. I've heard so many "math is SO fun" comments lately, it's put a permanent smile on my face during math time. I can't wait to see our results on our final assessment - hopefully this will all pay off! Last night I made up a set of numbers (0 - 100) to print off on magnetic paper. I thought it would be easy to find a...

It's a rainy day this morning ... rainy and chilly. I guess it's nature's way of telling me to stay inside and clean my house today. So ... let the procrastination begin ... I've got some GREAT foldables to share with you today. This week I had a reader ask me how I use my math journals in my classroom. I guess my math journals are more of an interactive glossary or how-to manual. Every time we have a new definition, or a formula or procedure, I try to do a foldable for it. Students keep...
