It's the second to last day of our big giveaway week, and we decided that we wanted to QUADRUPLE the fun!  Ari and I agreed that you all have done so much, completed so many entries, and shared the giveaway in so many different ways that we wanted to do a little something special, so we are quadrupling the fun and giving away our products to FOUR lucky winners.

 
 Ari is giving away her iLearn PowerPoint and Activities!

Today, I'm giving away my 4 best-selling math projects.  I have used all 4 of these in my classroom, and they get rave reviews from kids AND parents.  There is a lot of math going on in these packets, and they are all real world scenarios.  If you are one of the four winners, you will win these four products:


I've given you a lot of different options for entering today.  I just love reading all of your responses to the Facebook questions and your blog post comments.  Thank you SO much for participating!

    I love having them use things they find at home for geometry, have them take pictures of visual representations...Tour the school for examples of geometry terms. Tie math and science into one meaningful lesson!

    I like to use math in other parts of our day (when appropriate) to show kids that we use it in more than just math class.

    I love using food to teach about measurement. I often have my kids make a recipe when we are talking about measuring with cups, pints, quarts, etc.

    I like to take them on scavenger hunts where they have to find things in the classroom or around the school that fit what we I am teaching. This works really well with measurement and geometry of course. :-)

    We have been making CEPAs for the district, and really trying to find situations that the students could find themselves in to use as the basis for the problems - For ex. in grade 1, they have to prove to their teacher they are able to solve some math problems to show her they are able to go to the Kindergarten to be a math helper, IN grade 3 they have to choose items from the lunch menu to equal a certain amount of money etc.

    Multiplication, Division, and Fractions - I will be spending a lot of time in these areas this year with my fourth graders. Any chance to show them real world application is priceless.

    I use problems from our farm/ranch which most of my kids are familiar with. We figure grain storage capacity, how large the water tank has to be for a certain number of cattle, both using circumference and area, tire sizes, cost per animal based on figures from the local paper...etc. They really have their eyes opened to how much math farming and ranching requires!

    Great giveaway! Thanks!
    I like to use food, manipulatives (little erasers, pebbles, clay, etc.), and task cards. Anything to get the students using their hands is great!

    I have my students use real world situations that require math such as grocery receipts and determine how much items would cost if they bought more of each or if they only had a certain amount of money what would they buy.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Lyn SJuly 31, 2013 at 6:41 AM

    I strive for no 'naked' problems. Everything should be a word problem so students can see real life application. If I find myself using math that often becomes a warm up problem the next day.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Teach80July 31, 2013 at 6:47 AM

    There are many ways I use real world situations in my math lessons. We take pictures/bring in items that have geometric shapes, we use grocery ads for multiplication/addition practice, we use real foods for measurement, I use them when I make up word problems, we make recipes for measuring, and use food/items for fractions.

    This will be my first year teaching math, but I plan to use sales discounts and a fantasy sports league (students pick players that earn points every week, but you have to use an equation with fractions to figure out those points) to help my students out.

    I use food for measurement, graphing, and fractions. I also use real objects for shapes or pictures of real objects. With graphing you can use their own favorites, etc to make it real world

    I love making math meaningful by having the students brainstorm a list of ways they used math that day - it's amazing the amount of things they come up with. It helps them to see that math is important and we do use it daily.

    We use our school teams' stats to work with mean, mode, etc., and probability. We also use "shopping" for a lot of different math concepts: price per item/best price, decimal concepts, money/making change,etc.

    Hands on activities! Letting students realize that they will use these concepts in these types of real life situations. Also using cross-curricular activities whenever I can :)

    When I teach multi step problems, I like to bring supermarket circulars and give the kids a shopping list and fake money. They use rounding, estimation, subtraction and multiplication skills to figure out how much to spend.

    MONEY...is my favorite way to incorporate the real world...I work in an urban district and my kids go to the corner store everyday...They have to know how to shop and get the right amount of change back. Many math topics can be incorporated.

    We've added some standards this year that center around budgeting, balancing a checkbook etc. I'm looking forward to the real world applications!

  34. Ursula JacobJuly 31, 2013 at 10:24 AM

    I used the checkbook activity with my 5th graders this past year, incorporating writing checks, making purchases, returns, tax, and the kids loved it. Using fractions I usually do some cooking, having the students add fractions to find the total amount of an ingredient. We also create at Geometry-town where the students are engineers. They design a town with street requirements of angles, line relationships, and buildings in specific geometric shapes.

    I incorporate cross-curricular connections throughout the day, whether it is a graph in social studies or a chart in science, to help the kiddos realize that math is everywhere!

  36. Lightsey LaneJuly 31, 2013 at 11:29 AM

    My favorite thing to do with my students is to have them plan a party. I give them a budget and they have to figure out what items and the quantity based on the number of students in the class and their budget. This helps them to grasp the concept of multiplication and division.

    When teaching time, I use a check-out sheet in my classroom where they have to write down the time they leave, and then when they get back..also lets me see who is spending a lot of time out of the classroom! BUT really helps them to learn to tell time as well!

    I integrate Social Studies and discuss budgets, supply and demand, and I let them think about something they'd like to buy. Then they have to come up with a plan about how they could earn the money, how long it would take, and so on. By the way, I loved your made it Monday post a few weeks ago, with the organizer for all the things we need on a daily basis. Both my daughters are 3rd year teachers and I made one for each of them as we'll as myself!! Thanks for the freebie labels for the drawers. We all love them!!
