Every day our math lesson consists of a brief game or hands-on workshop. When we do this, the helper for the day, the VIP, sits under our document camera and displays his or her paper. Then, the other students can look to that paper for help if they need it. This gives the VIP ownership over his or her work, and the other students can stay on track with us.
After the game or hands-on workshop, we do a part of the page together, and then the students work independently to solve their own problems. Sometimes, when we have extra time at the end of our math time, we play a game that focuses on our skill for the unit. Each new unit we start also has a game that we can play at school or at home. When you see these games come home, you may definitely play it at home with your child to promote progress in that skill.
