Math

As the school year quickly nears, I have been attending a training for the new math Investigations books that have been purchased by the system. I have always loved numbers and math so I have always thought of myself as a great math teacher, but I can say I am very excited to try out these new resources! I have personally witnessed the importance of allowing students plenty of time for hands-on and interaction during math and these materials are certain to do just that. It sounds silly, but I have had a ton of fun at the training while pretending to be a third-grader and doing all the things my students will get to do. I can only think that if I, a twenty-five year old, find these games and activities fun, my eight year olds are surely going to love them! One of my favorite things about being a teacher is finding new things that I know my children will get excited about so I am extremely excited to put these resources to good use in my classroom.
