  • Summer Is a Great Time to Enjoy Math Games and Reverse the Math
    Summer is a great time to enjoy Math Games and reverse the Math 'Summer-Slide' Children enjoy a long summer vacation and play a lot of internet games on their own. Still they are on the lookout to have fun playing games with other kids or adults. Did you know kids lose on average 10 weeks of math knowledge over the summer? Usually referred to as the 'Math Slide'. There are many fun filled math summer camps that focus on math concepts using games and riddles instead of math facts. You can take action at home too: keep the patterns, shapes and numbers going to make sure kids love math. Enjoy playing board games, card games, dice, and domino games. Kids love to discuss their best strategies and to keep score, a math activity in itself. Hands-on board games are a great way to introduce younger kids to patterns an numbers. You can adapt the games to make sure all kids can participate, consider starting with counting and sorting everyday objects. For best math learning, in general do not emphasize speed until all math facts are memorized and easily retrieved (automatized), better ask what they think and share your strategies. Children enjoy making their own playing cards from note cards. Let them be creative with colored markers making dot patterns, shapes, numbers, money notations etc. use stickers etc. there are endless options, that all will add to the fun. You can use self made cards with dots or numbers or store bought playing cards in various ways to learn numbers, counting, and calculating while playing a game: 1.

  • How Much Does the 24 Game Increase the Recall of Arithmetic Facts?
    How Much Does the 24 Game Increase the Recall of Arithmetic Facts? Jonquille Eley The City College of New York- CUNY In partial fulfillment of the requirements for EDSE 02011 for Dr. Eva Sattlberger December 14, 2009 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 3 INTRODUCTION 4-6 LITERATURE REVIEW 6-10 SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 10-11 INTERVENTION 12-18 DATA COLLECTION 15-18 RESULTS 18-23 CONCLUSION 23-26 REFERENCES 26-28 ABSTRACT Sixth grade students come to MS 331 with strong mathematics backgrounds from elementary school. Nevertheless, students often come with a dearth of skills when performing basic math computations. The focus of this study is to investigate the use of the 24 Game in quickening the ability of sixth graders to perform basic computations. The game reinforces skills along with strategy when finding correct solutions. Students practiced the 24 Game largely on homework assignments and to a lesser extent, during instructional time. Students were measured on their ability to compute arithmetic facts on one minute assessments. Each class showed positive growth as the rigor of the quizzes increased due to 24 Game exposure after three weeks. Students who practiced the 24 Game most frequently on their homework scored the highest. Non-participants on average scored lower than participants. The 24 Game creates cooperation, stamina, and excitement through problem-solving. The speed and accuracy of arithmetic skills for sixth grade students improved through the study period. 3 INTRODUCTION Reaching lower-level students in the classroom requires varied instructional techniques. Games in the classroom break the monotony of book work and give students an opportunity to embrace other skill sets.

  • Math Instructors Notes with Math Supplement.Pdf
    Instructor Notes Lesson: Math using common manipulatives in the ABE & GED classroom. Why use manipulatives to teach math? There is a link between seeing math and understanding math. Building with manipulatives incorporates the visual, kinesthetic, figurative, and tactile; Saying taps into the auditory and semantic; Writing teaches the symbolism of math and bridges the concrete and the abstract. The result? When a student sees the numbers on paper (abstract) he or she is able to visualize the concept. Objectives: In this lesson, the participants will: Use common items (many are provided in this kit) in an effort to give students a concrete example of math principles. Utilize various critical thinking skills related to learning about math. Understand the importance of good math skills in everyday life as well as in workplace settings. Reduce stress often associated with learning math concepts by making the lessons interactive and fun. Subjects: math, workplace skills, reading, writing, social studies, and critical thinking Procedure: 1. Humans – the always accessible manipulative! Use the students in class to make bar graphs, walk number lines, or demonstrate commutative and associative properties. Students will remember these concepts when they have fun and move around. 2. Fractions can be difficult to comprehend so some ideas are included in this kit. Use the egg cartons and measuring cups to start the fractions lesson. If you really need a reinforcement activity, splurge on some candy bars! Four sets of laminated make-your-own fraction circles are also included for students to use. 3. Popsicle sticks are a great, inexpensive way to teach place value, carrying, and borrowing.
