hello, guys you know demo class, i will teach this class tomorrow. do you any idea that can help with . I choose lesson that subject about Number 5 that i need to teach to kids and how to be fun with this lesson.
Hi... does anyone have any ideas for a math night at school. I'm trying to get more parent involvement. If someone can give me ideas for activities for Pre-K through 5th grade that would be great. Also, if you have any ideas of incentives for the parents to bring their children to the math night, that would be great. Thanks in advance! Sherry
I am in my first year of teaching so I am speaking from only one year's experience with Family Math Night!
Our district uses the Investigations Math curriculum. Using that as a spring board, our school chose math games from this curriculum.
Each grade (PreK-4) at the school had their own table with each teacher having a game or activity available for students and their families. The games/activities were ones the students recently learned and easy to teach to the families.
Students of all ages could visit any table. (I.e. A Kindergartener could visit the 4th grade table if he/she chose to. However, most found the older games challenging and simply moved on to another table.
The librarian had math books on display. There was a raffle for math prizes. The Math night was a lot of fun and we're really excited to do it again next year!
Hope this helps a little! :)

I explain the concept...I go over some activities with parents and then have parents practices with their children.
I have also done competitions of hands-on math activities...like Nick's Double Dare...only math related.
Choosing the right time is key...after soccer Saturday -- when kids are already there...DURING open house...other times and places where parents are gathered.

I am a 2nd grade teacher. I am looking at changing the current homework in my classroom. Id like to do more project based home instead of the traditional math worksheet homework. We are working on computational skills (addition and subtraction with/without regrouping). Do you know of any great projects, links, or books? Any ideas would be welcomed. Thanks!!
