My Math Instruction Philosophy by Cynthia Roth https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/jp9grwoa835ilvjz The Importance of Literature in Mathematics en-us 2020-07-12 15:39:56 UTC 2024-05-28 18:38:00 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction cynthiaroth https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/jp9grwoa835ilvjz/wish/652652328 I am Mme Cynthia and I will be teaching your child's Mathematics this year. I have created this padlet to let you know my personal philosophy in teaching Mathematics, and explaining the role literature will play in our day to day learning. ]]> 2020-07-12 15:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/jp9grwoa835ilvjz/wish/652652328 My Beliefs cynthiaroth https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/jp9grwoa835ilvjz/wish/652652674 Here are some current benefits to using children's literature in teaching Math Concepts:
  • It motivates students
  • Captures their interest(s)
  • Provides a context for learning specific concepts that connects or relates to their personal experiences
  • Accomodates different learning styles
  • Promotes critical thinking
  • Encourages problem-solving

1. To provide a context or model for an activity with mathematical content. 
2. To introduce manipulative's that will be used in varied ways
3. To inspire a creative mathematics experience
4. To pose an interesting problem. 
5. To prepare for a mathematics concept or skill. 
6. To develop or explain a mathematics concept or skill. 
7. To review a mathematics concept or skill.

Below is a sample of an integrated lesson we might do during a math lesson.

1-Read Aloud: Shapes that roll by: Karen Berman Nagel (Integrating Math and Literacy)

2-STEM Activity: Ramp it up: students will try out different 3D shapes to see if they roll, and then sort them in two different piles (Shapes that roll, and shapes that don't roll) (Integrating Math and Science)

3-Art Activity: Create a Shapes Pizza.
