Thanks for a GREAT Collaborative!
Of all the math training that we have done, today was one of the BEST! We learned so much from the fifth grade teachers. This is what eMath is all about SHARING! You guys did great!
Cynthia Bargeron shared that she used graph paper to help students keep their thoughts and work organized when doing long division and multiplication. She also said that she uses the graph background in the promethean resources. Her TIS featured a website (link below) that helped students interpret remainders.
Jennifer Smith showed us a website that allows students to self check long division problems.
Carol Thomas gave us some great ideas on long division. The PowerPoint that she showed modeled each step of the long division process. The website, Mr. Nussbaum, also allowed students to go throught the division process by dragging numbers (link below).
Dana Mattos shared a website (link below) that took students step by step through mean, median, and mode. She also showed us WeatherBonk (link below), which is a great resource for multiple content areas. Dana also has created some great flipcharts on averages. Her flipcharts can be found on the "S" drive in the "FifthGradeShare" folder (inside math, look for mean (soccer) and mean).
Allison Sturdivant shared a Halloween flipchart that she created to guide students through using pictures to solve problems. Her flipchart can be found on the "S" drive in the "FifthGradeShare" folder.
We can't wait to see what the third grade teachers have to show us on December 7th. Remember the TIS form is on the "S" drive in the "MathLabShare" folder. When you have completed your TIS form, e-mail it to your grade level Math coach and save a copy in your portfolio. Third grade teachers, please let me know if I can help you post your links to the SCES math blog.
During the session, we also learned how to score BAMS. Please don't forget to add your BAM scores to your student profiles. Next BAM, Make a Map, must be completed by December 7, the next collaborative.
Copies of the Math Exemplars will be made and distributed to eMath teachers.
Fifth grade teachers, please save your Student Profiles/Testing Data to your laptop, so that the originals can be deleted from the "S" drive (they are in the "MathLabShare" folder).
Third grade teachers will need to keep their Electronic Portfolios up to date and 4th grade will upload theirs this year at the end of the year. Remember to check the portal for upcoming information and to review old agendas. Winona demonstrated our use of porfolios for this year and the following year. Some of the links on the Portfolio Link page on the Portal are not good sites, but their are some that are good. Winona is going to journal what we did today in the Portal Journal. Questions, concerns, issues, etc. will be recorded in the journal.
Again thanks for a good day!
