Transformations Foldable

This week we learned about Transformations.  As part of our introduction, the students made the foldable above to add to ther interactive notebook. 

 The foldable is courtesy of Kate at To The Square Inch.

I teach five sessions of Math 6 everyday.  To keep things orderly, each team was given a bag with the prepared cut-out shapes, brads and paper clips.    One student was the team leader and distributed the items to his/her teammates.  Once the students had the materials, we added them to the inside of the foldable, then identified each type of transformation.  In the days following, the students have referenced the foldable while working and reviewing.  The connections that they make to the foldable made it a very worthwhile activity.

Angle Foldable

  On Friday, we began our new unit of study in Everyday Math 6 , which focuses on Geometry.  When checking the results of our CDT and GMADE testing, I noticed that our students were struggling with some basic Geometry skills.  One of the areas was identifying angles.  Since EM suggested reviewing the 4 types of angles, I took it a bit further and had them draw each type, define it, and find examples of each angle in the classroom.  We then stapled the completed foldable into our Math journals.  The activity allowed the students to practice using a protractor, identify angles, and apply their work to everyday objects. 

 

 This foldable was inspired by a foldable at Runde's Room .

Exponent Ball

 We've been learning about exponents.  On Thursday, the students played Exponent Ball to practice using exponents, comparing values and using the power key.  These are some of my fourth period students.  They seemed to really enjoy the game. 

 You can find a copy of the game and explanation of the rules here:  http://www.indiana.edu/~iucme/docs/Exponent_Ball.doc

After playing the game, the students had to complete and exit slip to demonstrate their understanding.  I found this recording sheet online that I will use the next time we play this game.  http://www.docstoc.com/docs/55770842/Exponent-Ball
