GEOMETRY TIME

GEOMETRY TIME 

Raise your hand ✋if you struggled with some aspect of Geometry. Why do you think you did not understand this topic? Was there something you felt as though you didn't fully understand. 

As we have talked about in class many people struggle with different topics in math , however I do believe that the way you were taught by your previous educators has a major impact on how you understand the material even in your adult life. So with that being said I found some very good starting worksheet for 2D/3D shapes that can lead students off with a clear and through understanding. 

CONTENT: GEOMETRY (2-D/3-D SHAPES)

GRADE: 2ND 

COMMON CORE STANDARDS:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.1
Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.1
Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.1 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
















































Each worksheet was found on education.com  under the grade level and math section that focuses on geometry. 

REFLECTION:  As I have said in my previous blogs I like to find intriguing worksheets that entice the  students to want to make their learning of mathematics fun. I vividly remember as a child having to copy math problems down and get worksheet with tons of problems on them for the class to complete independently in a certain amount of time. That type of learning is not the norm anymore but I am glad to see that their is more resources in how students learn new math material. 2D/3D shapes can be hard for a student to understand so I want to be a master at this topic so that I can effectively help my students to grasp their full understanding of the different shapes and objects in the world so that they can use this concept and topic later on in their lives.

Money , Money , Moooney 😁

😁 Do you know your money? As  I was thinking about what to do next for my Personal Learning Path, I was in the store and I saw a little girl asking her mom about money. She looked no older than about 6/7 years old, however her curiosity about money and its valued sparked my interest.  So this week I was discuss and show you some cool ways to help you students learn about money.  One christmas when I was about 8 years old my mom gave me a cash register set which came with groceries, a basket ,and pretend money (both coins and dollars). This was by far a great way to learn about money but also implement my pretend play skills at home.   THANK YOU MOM !!!!  So I always said that when I become a teacher I would use the cash register system to help my students understand and learn the value of money.  CONTENT:  MONEY GRADE : 2ND  COMMON CORE STANDARDS:  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.C.8 Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quart...

Adding with Two Digits

Addition may come easy to some students and may not come as easy to other students which is why it is important to help your students establish a strong foundation in addition.  As I was looking into what element of addition I wanted to explore I remember how two digit addition with and without regrouping was a problem for myself during my math journey. When trying to figure out what should be carried over into the next column can be difficult if the foundation of adding is not strong.  Children often find two digit addition a bit more complicated than single digit addition because  they are solving for two numbers instead of just one. So to help with this topic I found a few resources : 1) a worksheet that incorporates a visual element of two digit addition and   2) a  interactive video that breaks down how to add two digit numbers.   Common Core Standards :  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.4 Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and...

👀 Can you find the Perimeter???👀

Can you tell me the perimeter of this house?  Most adults cannot from the top of their head. Sometimes as the teacher we expect our students to know a lot more than they should. Their brains grow just as much as our adult brains do therefore we have to continue to shape and mold them with new material to sharpen their tools and expand their knowledge.  In order to do this we must start out with the basics and try to help our students build on the tools they already have.  This Perimeter topic can be difficult to some students but as the teachers it is all about how your present the material to help the children who are learning.  Like a wise woman once told me .. " its not what you say , its how you say it" so for teachers the saying is "its not what you teach, its how your teach it ".  Grade : 3rd Grade  Content: Perimeter Common Core Standard : Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter.
