Just a sampling...

Wow!  What a busy and fast year this has been!  I am working every single second at school and I know what I'm doing is still not enough.  My blog has been neglected for about six weeks so I wanted to take the time to show off some cool activities we have done in class. 

First off is a Kagan activity.  Our school has done two trainings on Kagan activities and I am trying hard to implement a few each week.  This one is called Quiz-Quiz-Trade and we used it to review our math properties.  The students loved it and it only took about 5 minutes.

Our second activity we tried was a gallery walk.  I had my students write examples of the different math properties on a sticky note for homework.  We then placed them all around the room under the correct property.  The students spent about one minute at each station reviewing the examples and identifying any that were incorrect.

The last activity I want to share was "Pass the equation".  Students sat back to back and passed around a worksheet with four equations.  Everyone had a paper and had to start the problem from where their teammate left off.  The students realized how important it was to show their work and to show it neatly!
