Let's be honest. Designing PBL for Math can be a different beast. With the pressure of high-stakes testing and a packed curriculum, I often coach teachers who are nervous about giving time to a robust PBL project. In addition, because of the plethora of math standards, it can be difficult to choose the right learning target(s) for the project. Here are some tips for teachers designing individual Math PBL projects.
This page of the wiki is a collection of Promethean flipcharts to address 4th grade math standards. The homepage says this: This space was created to host flipcharts that support the RRISD ARRC. Our initial focus was Grade 3 and 5 Math and Science high stakes TEKS.
This is a great website to share with your math students to get them thinking and building their number sense. I plan on using it as a daily activity with my math classes.
Students learn the importance of math accuracy and, more specifically, that knowing how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions makes life easier for everyone.
"This page provides examples of 4th Grade Number Activities aligned with the Common Core State Standards. All activities are suitable for use in Math Centers, small group or whole class settings and are designed to elicit a range of responses and provide opportunities for students to communicate their reasoning and mathematical thinking. Instructions for each task are typed in large print and written in child-friendly language to enable students to work on activities independently after a brief introduction to the task. "
Kids science, math, social studies and other educational videos, lessons, quizzes and educational games for K-12 grade kids that make learning fun and interesting.
"In my role as Maths Leader in Grades 5/6, I have many opportunities to work with groups of children in both Grade levels. Sometimes I find it hard to report back to the classroom teachers what learning took place during my lessons with their students. This year I have increasingly turned to Padlet, a collaborative, interactive Online Board, to record the teaching and learning experiences I facilitate. Here I share my lesson documentation through an embedded link to my Volume Padlet (note: Padlet needs the latest version of IE, Chrome, Firefox or Safari to view and use)"
