I sent you a private message.
I teach it similarly to the first few posters. However, when I am ready to teach the algorithm, the kids get to use colored pencils. For the...
WE followed the Iditarod this year. We made a project, sent it to Alaska, and it's being carried on one of the sleds! When it's over, the musher...
We did this last year as well. Have you received your posters back yet?
I'm not Deeena, but I thought of a few ideas: If the kids know money (I'm not sure how far you go with it in 1st grade), could they find out how...
I teach 4th, so it's a bit different. Last year I had 6 kids who were way above the rest of the class in math skills. I did pretest them out of...
