Teaching Tip of the Week - Math
"Lunch Passes" |
| |
By: Darlene Roker, Teacher
"After teaching for 20 years, I finally found a fun way
to get my students to tell ME that they need to practice
their multiples more! I make up a quick "test" where they
must write out the multiples for 7-10 numbers, in a scrambled
order. Then I present the chart to them 5 minutes before
lunch, and tell them they will line up in the order that
they finish the "test". The first day I present it, I
can hear the slower students talking about how they need
to study this number or that, as their faster friends
go to lunch first. The second day I have fewer slower
students, and by the end of the week, the lunch pass can
be used on the next needed skill. And they have fun!"

Quote of the Week
"We think too much about effective methods of teaching
and not enough about effective methods of learning.

Jokes You Can Tell in Class
The Fourth of July was coming up, and the nursery school
teacher took the opportunity to tell her class about
patriotism. "We live in a great country," she said.
"One of the things we should be happy about is that,
in this country, we are all free."
One little boy came walking up to her from the back
of the room. He stood with his hands on his hips and
said, "I'm not free. I'm four."
