I was — decidedly, determinedly, exclamation marks in the out of office email — off for the summer. I worked hard in June, planned much, organized more. And then I was off.
But, other people weren’t, or at least, came back from their decidedly off summer sooner than I did. And they had some cool/creative/helpful teaching ideas.
Summer-me wasn’t ready for them, but September-me will be grateful.
So I lobbed links into my work email, and now, sifting through the mass messages from HR, and the e-newsletters, and whatever the rest of that pile is, there are teaching gems waiting for me.
For everyone else who was definitely off for the summer, a few to share.
(Perhaps the start of a series “What I’m emailing myself”)
((Perhaps with a better title))
A lesson idea: A card sort to order the steps to solve equations (from Miss Calculate)
Classroom décor: Mistakes are.. posters (From Math Equals Love)
Handy resources: Games to practice number skills (Oops! Source unclear, someone in Granby CT)
Good reminders: Asking ‘give me’ to generate open ended tasks (From Math with Bad Drawings)
Happy September!
