Graphing
The students participated in an introductory lesson on graphing today. Using a pre-made worksheet, the students learned how to complete a bar graph. To further the lesson, I also incorporated the SMARTBoard software to summarize the graphing results. After the students completed the worksheet, the class worked together to color the bars of the graph on the SMARTBoard. I found this graphing website which I would like to use in the near future. I was thinking about filling plastic eggs with M&M's and having students complete a graph of the different colored M&M's. I am sure the candy would make the kids happy and provide a source of motivation:)

Melissa you are very resourceful and have a passion for your kids (students) and what you do, they are blessed to have you. The Smart board was a great idea; although I think they would have loved you more after the M&M project :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Thank you for your support. That means a lot after this week. It seems as though the students (and I) have spring fever and staying focused on learning is challenging. Due to some behavior problems, the M&M project will have to wait until next week. I think that will help all of us get back to work after a 4-day Easter weekend. Happy Easter!
