Math Day!

It wasn't planned this way..... but in education, you learn to go with the flow and follow the kids! Today turned out to be a MATH day!

• 1st - Math
• Our breakfast was from 8:15 - 8:35 today.  We had a little longer time because we had fresh oranges and we had to clean the desks after (STICKY SITUATION!).  Then we went over last nights homework (WORD PROBLEMS) problem by problem looking for any misunderstandings. Finally, we went into Number Talks.
• 2nd - Math
• Next we had the problem of the day and the kids worked in pairs to figure it out and discuss it.  Next we watched Professor Burgers Math On Demand video that shows the students an example of the problem we will be working with.  The concept is ORDER OF OPERATIONS and it can be tricky, so we did a lot of stop the video, discuss, model...  Finally, we moved into the the interactive mini-lessons that show the students how to unlock problems we will be dealing with.
• 3rd - Math
• Mrs. Avalos and I worked through the unlock the problems with the students for lesson 7.11 in GoMath.  After working the problems, the students worked independently to do the Show What You Know and On Your Own problems.  Then we went over all the problems to again make sure that all misunderstandings were cleared up.
• 4th - Math
• Students went online to ThinkCentral to work on the Chapter 7 Post Test.  20 questions that will be quite similar to the end of the chapter test they will face tomorrow.  The post test gives them immediate feedback and shows them how to do the problems they missed.  Great learning tool and helps students see where they need to study!  After they were done they were allowed to take any AR tests they needed to take or work on skills on Waggle.
• 5th - Lunch
• 6th - P.E. with Mr. Hoffman
• 7th - Library 
• Ms. Sestak called us and asked if we would like to come return and check out books during 7th period.  She fits our class in when she has a free period because her schedule is packed.  We are so thankful she thinks of our class because if not, we would only get to use that nice new library once a month.
