They are all aligned to PA mathematics standards. Enjoy :-) ]]> 2019-04-26 18:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/354573156 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/355049828 We all know that gifted students have trouble staying organized. Therefore, I put together some resources that I passed along to both my students and their parents. I am also open to other suggestions, since this is an area that many of my students struggle in.

They need to pay attention to who the check is made out to, how much the check is, and who signs it. My only suggestion for next year, if I use this, is to not have the checks in cursive because some students can't read cursive. ]]> 2019-05-02 20:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356400051 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356402759 Here is the story sheet that I used with the activity. ]]> 2019-05-02 20:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356402759 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356547678 2019-05-03 11:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356547678 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356571495 2019-05-03 12:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356571495 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356581874 This activity can be utilized in any math class and can be modified for ELA as well. You change the word problem and have a group of four solve independently on a sticky note. After they are done you collaborate and go over how each individual solved their problems. They will have to be able to to explain their reasoning and why they chose to solve it that way. ]]> 2019-05-03 13:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356581874 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356583456 Students will answer a question on a sticky note and then head to the corner with which their answer correlates. They will then have to defend their answer to their peers. ]]> 2019-05-03 13:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356583456 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356589403 I presented this activity to a 6th grade ELA group. They read a higher level book "Keeper," and as a creative ending project, I had them create a movie poster incorporating a major theme and character(s). They also created a movie trailer to go along with the poster with the same theme and character(s), using the application iMovie. ]]> 2019-05-03 13:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356589403 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356600424 Rubric attached.]]> 2019-05-03 13:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/356600424 https://padlet.com/catrina_groner/fvggqi42i5xt/wish/395145073 I created a bulletin board in my classroom for students to ask questions, spark conversation or simply just wonder!
