Small group time, or "Teacher Time"
is a great opportunity
for me to observe and assess how well my Math students have learned.
I like to see every step of a Math problem so I found a different way for students to work with me without using paper or workbooks,
yet they can still show me their
Math "skills".
At the beginning of the year we
provided our students with a white 3-ring binder in which they keep
everything that they do and need for 5th grade. ( BEE binder but geared to upper elementary) :-)
Students bring their white binders and a dry erase marker to my table and we practice working problems together. As you know, division requires practice,
practice.......and dare I say....practice.
We write on the BACK of the binders.
I have used the small white boards in the same manner but for some reason the students
prefer their own binders. One student mentioned,
"we can even do
this at home". ...... Cha-Ching!!!!
Have a great weekend fellow bloggers!
