It's All About Math

We are getting close to the end of my classroom tour!  That also means I'm almost done with my vacay...say it isn't so!  Here are some math things in my classroom.

We use a lot of manipulatives with Everyday Math, our math program.  And, well, you're probably catching on that I am neat and organized!  I have all the items in bins, labeled and ready to go!  The kids know where everything is and where to return it when they are done.  So independent - I love it!

Close up of the bins...

This year, I've also been creating anchor charts and visuals for my students to go along with our math program.  I have them all displayed on my closet doors for them to access when they need extra support.

Another part of our math programs is a computer activity called Math Reflex (learn about it here).  The students chart their progress.  On the left is how many facts each child has learned and on the right is how fluent they are in their math facts.  They each get a post-it note and they move it up when they reach a milestone in the program.  The percentage in the middle is how fluent the class is overall.  We need to be at 100% by the end of the year - I don't think we are going to make it!

Today's giveaway is...you guessed it...math-related!  I'm giving away my All About Fractions In Action packet!

All you have to do is leave me a comment - tell me anything!  I'll choose a winner when I return from vacation.
