Math Website and Newsletter


Using Technology

Technology can be used in all different subject areas in school.
  • History/Geography
  • Science
  • Language and Phonics
  • Reading and Writing
  • Math
  • Art and Music 
  • Even PE!

And there are many online websites and resources available that can help teachers review student's knowledge on different subjects. 
Math Game Websites



 I tested out two Math Game websites to see what different subjects they had and how students could use them in the classroom. Here are the links if you want to try them and a little info about them. 
  1. Math Playground (click on for link)
    • This website is organized by grade level or by category/subject you are teaching in math.
    • There is a teacher section to give teachers ideas on how to use different games and the common core standards for different grade levels.
  2. Math Play  (click on for link)
    • It has games for higher grades as well including 7th-8th grades and Algebra topics.
    • Games are according to different math areas (multiplication, addition, etc.), but it also has them according to the type of game - such as basketball or soccer games - and then you choose the difficulty level and topic to review.
    • I also liked that it tells you the common core standards that are met by the game before you play it.

Newsletter!
I have also created a "Welcome Back to School Newsletter" to use in the future. It gives parents an introduction to the school year, what we are doing, and some tech info.

    This was a refreshing blog! There are several ideas that can be applied to the classroom. I especially like that modifications can be done with the links to games. There weren't many for my preschool class.
    Thank you for sharing

    I really liked your math websites, I tried a couple of math games myself and also enjoyed using them. I know that your students will love them as well! Your newsletter was really simple and straight to the point. My favorite color is blue as well!!

    Easy to read and follow filled with informative tidbits, which is just what a newsletter needs. However, you said to "contact you" but didn't give an email, phone number, or any other means of communication for parents.

Why a Rubric is not a Rubik's Cube

  Yes 👍 ,  they both have boxes. Yes👍 , they both look confusing at first. But no👎 , they are not the same thing. So what am I talking about? I am talking about Rubrics NOT Rubik’s Cubes .  Rubrics’ boxes are not for moving around and adjusting like on a Rubik’s cube . But they are used to give students a score for certain assignments. Like the colors on a Rubik’s cube , the boxes on a rubric show students what the teacher’s expectations are and how they did. Rubrics have 3 main elements : Criteria – the main topics that are being examined in the project Descriptors – describe what each criteria should/could meet Performance scale – numbers that rate how students did in certain criteria Like how a Rubik’s cube can have 3x3 squares per side or 4x4 or 5x5, etc., so also a rubric can range from simple to complex. It really just depends on what the teacher prefers and needs for an assignment.✏  Here are some rubrics that I found for free on Tea
