Writing About Positional Words

(0)
Writing is one of the parts of language that younger mathematicians are still developing along with their reading, talking, and listening skills. Children learn to write by writing. Writing needs to be original thought, not just copying something that someone else wrote. Therefore, it is imperative that opportunities are provided often for students to engage in writing about mathematics. As the teacher, providing an environment that is rich in mathematical language is a priority. Writing About offers a collaborative opportunity for small groups of students to work individually first to write about a concept and then to come together and putting their individual work into a paragraph about the topic. A word cloud is given as a prompt for words and ideas. Facilitation notes are provided as well as student activity sheet. This is a good activity for struggling students and ESL/ELL who may need some support in writing.

The activities in this packet are intended to support these challenges. Time on a Number Line helps students develop the base 60 aspect of time and time measures on the clock. It also provides a strategy for working with elapsed time. Readin’ ‘Round the Clock supports students working with the relationship between the hour hand and the minute hand. Numbers around the Face is a game that helps students first learn the numbers on the clock. These activities are also suited for students who have challenges with learning and need the extra support. I Have Who Has Elapsed Time covers elapsed time at a more sophisticated challenging level for students who are ready.

Tangrams, those seven simple geometric pieces, are a manipulative that can support diverse topics with students at all levels. This dissection puzzle can offer many challenges to students. The seven tans can be manipulated into various shapes, pictures, letters, etc. Tangram shapes and puzzles support the development of various geometric topics while building spatial reasoning and problem solving. Fractions are a natural fit with tangrams as is area and linear measurement. This 31 page packet includes: literacy connections and ideas for creating tangrams as well as discussion prompts to use as students are creating a tangram; Ideas for investigating shapes and discussion prompts to use as students are investigating shapes; Ideas for using tangrams to study fractions and discussion prompts to use as students are working with fractions and tangrams; art activity suggestions and resources; and several extensions with resources. Blackline masters and sets of task cards are also included. Activities and ideas for all grade levels and for various levels to support differentiation.

Writing About This Week's’ Topic

Writing is one of the parts of language that students are still developing along with their reading, talking, and listening skills. For some students what they know about mathematics may exceed their ability to communicate it through the written word. Students learn to write by writing. Writing needs to be original thought, not just copying something that someone else wrote. As the teacher, providing an environment that is rich in mathematical language is a priority. Providing students a Journey’s Notebook, if for nothing else but the development of a Glossary and a Journal, offers a place where students can record their thoughts and experiences as it chronicles their growth over time while on their educational journey. Writing About can be a small group writing activity or an individual activity. This is a good activity for struggling students and ESL/ELL who may need some support in writing. Writing about this week’s topic provides students an opportunity to reflect on their work over the past week. Parents and caregivers find this very informative and it provides a way for them to stay in touch with what is happening in the classroom. This can also be used as a formative assessment probe for the student. This resource is good for children with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

Do trade books have a place in today’s mathematics classroom? Yes! Incorporating literature into the mathematics classroom at any level can increase student engagement, can make mathematics come alive as well as have meaning, and can help to differentiate instruction as well as support ELL/ESL students. Present mathematics in a way that will make mathematics more accessible and understandable for students at all levels. This resource contains five suggested activities to engage students AS YOU READ, for students to experience BEING A MATHEMATICIAN, and provide students authentic OPPORTUNITIES FOR WRITING. The suggested activities can be adapted for large or small groups, centers, learning stations and for intervention. Crimes and Mathdemeanors by Leith Hathout is A MUST HAVE book for all teachers and is NOT included in this download. This resource is good for students with language-based learning deficiencies.
