2 cool things happened in resource math today. I'm working toward simple things these days....
1. I found a great website that creates worksheets (generates) for working on elapsed time. The student working on this works really fast, yet needs LOTS of practice to grasp concepts. It's an unusual situation. I was so happy to find this source of work that he can do and we can review together. http://www.math-aids.com/Time/Elapsed_Time.html
2. I have a few students working on multiplication facts. There are certain rhymes that have helped me remember certain facts over the years... "eight eights fell on the floor... pick them up there's 64." I don't know any more than that, and that isn't the particular fact they were having trouble with. So I had them write their own!
Here's a few we/they came up with:
-Seven fours are really great, all together they're 28.
-Seven chocolates on four plates, all together equal 28.
-Seven eights fell while doing tricks, pick them up there's 56.
-Four eights went to Peru, airplane tickets for 32.
-Four eights went to Peru, hotel rooms for 32.
This was a really fun activity!!!!
