Need ideas for the inattentive class..
by Hurley
Sep 3, 2011
This is my 4th year teaching 3rd grade. I have never before experienced such an inattentive group. The biggest problem is in the afternoon during math. As I am teaching our Saxon Math lesson, I look out into a sea of kids playing with their pencils, looking at the ceiling, touching their name plates, poking the book bin at their table...it's driving me insane. I only have 17 kids and I'd say at least 13 of them are constantly touching something or spacing out. I can't change the time of day we do math, and I can't change the Saxon math...what can I do?

Things like working with partners, working with small groups, presenting at the board (putting problems up and then talking the class through them), relay competitions, et cetera.

c Math at the end of a long day can be difficult no matter what. I have seen an amazing math lesson taught by Ron Clark that has the kids motivated, moving, and excited about math. You can still use Saxon, but having random shout outs, tiny dance breaks, and whole class responses breaks up the monotony of the day. These are all very practiced procedu...See More
