Thank you for videotaping this lesson, Meghan! I also appreciate the Fundamentals games available on the S: drive for use in my differentiation!
ReplyDeleteMy students enjoyed watching other mathematicians at work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing this. I started back up doing math centers this year. I had previously found it difficult to do with Stepping Stones. I also have to remember that learning can be loud! I use a combination of math folder games, fundamental games, manipulatives, and computers for my centers.
ReplyDeleteIt's often loud!
DeleteThis was a great video and I have not started using math centers. But I can see how differentiating within the classroom using these games can meet the needs of all, all at once. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI liked the idea of using Think Tank cards as a center...I will have to try that in my classroom :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
DeleteI just updated this post to include Nicolette's Think Tank tracking form if you are interested in using it.
The structure of math choices in my room looks really similar with lots of kids on the floor. I tend to leave the choice of what to work on up to them and provide a menu of choices. I find that they tend to pick tasks at their level. If a child continually picks tasks that are not very challenging for them, I know to work with that child on developing more of a growth mindset.
