My Journey Through Math for Elementary Teachers. Volume and Surface Area and THE END! This week it was all about Volume and Surface area and this is what I did my final IBL on. I had the students match formulas to figures and name the figures then draw some on the boards and find their surface area and volume. This course had been alot of fun as you can see through my blog we have covered alot of material! My favorite was the last few chapters about geometry its so much fun.

Should we change the definition of Pi? I really honestly thought this article. Was a joke, but unfortunately it is not.

Learning how to teach math to children. And learned that all the things hanging down are formed by nature. It was really interesting to see. I found a really good website. I found a really good website that has math games.

Helpful Link for Basic Geometry. The above link is to a website that covers a lot of what we have been going over in class with geometric figures. There are games to play and just basic information on how to calculate the area and perimeter of particular shapes. There is also games on line segments and angles as well.

The semester is finally coming to an end! It has been fun having to relearn how to do everything that we already know how to do. It was weird seeing how the simplest problems can seem so difficult because of what we know now. I will keep up with working on my math skills for when I become a teacher. I will also continue looking up effective ways to teach students lessons in math. We all know it can be a little tricky! April 22, 2011.

New Song Of the week. It goes with the shape. I noticed that after break we are starting fractions. I remember when my teacher in middle school tried to make up a song about fractions and just made herself look really bad. So here is a fraction song that is suppose to help kids.
