Math videos to help with homework

Last year, my students found it helpful to watch short videos to help them with new and more complex math concepts.  We found the great videos made by  LearnZillion.com and Math Antics.

Here is a video on variables which might help with some of our lessons and homework this week.
Click Here.  You should not need to register.  You can click on the top right corner where is asks if you are a student and then it will take you to the video.

I will continue to post short videos throughout the year to help with homework.  I hope you find them helpful.

Mystery Minerals

Our class has been learning about the different properties of minerals.  Last week we did a streak and iron test to start gathering data to help us identify our 10 "Mystery Minerals".  The students have done such a great job creating charts to organize their data while working together to do the different tests.

4B Uses Activotes

Yesterday we spent part of our math class using the Promethean Board.  We practiced arranging large numbers in order from least to greatest.

Our class used the Activotes for the first time to review some of the topics we have been learning about in math with place value.  The students were very excited to try them.

First a question is displayed on the board and then the kids had to choose the correct answer and push the correct letter on their "clickers".

The class results are shown after the last student has entered their answer.

Then we talked about any questions which seemed to be a little more difficult for them.  There were cheers for our class when we got 100% correct on a question.

I also receive the results for each child, so I can see who needs a little more help in certain areas and which students understand the concepts well.
