Here's a winter freebie for all you math teachers. I use a lot of music in my classroom, especially on hard concepts like mean, median, mode, and range. Be sure to check out the anchor chart for the songs I use to teach mean and range. Even after I feel like they have a grasp of the concept, I feel it's important to review periodically. At my school we go back on January the 5th and that will mean a 2 day week. (I KNOW, don't get me started!) I'm going to use the printable to practice this concept. Hopefully the snowflake theme will make it seem not so much like work. I'm keeping this post short, as it is Christmas Eve, and I still have some shopping to do. Ahhh!!! Just wanted to give you something you could use in the classroom after the break. Enjoy! If you are not a follower, I would love for you to become one. Either way, I'm glad you stopped by and Happy Holidays! Click HERE for snowflake printable.
Teacher Tip of the Week:
Why not have a little cross curricular activity to go with the snowflake math? This is a great book to use for art, reading, science, or writing. If you click on the cover you will find a video version of this book.

ReplyDeleteBrian,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love to sing in my classroom. When I first started teaching, I was afraid the boys wouldn't like it, but sometimes I think they like it more than the girls:) I do try to add some movement to each song, and they love that. For the mean song, I have them make a plus sign and divide sign with their arms.
