1. Math is a more challenging subject for students, to make it more interesting and easier to understand we can include technology in the classroom.
2. Go to https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/technology-and-math# watch video with 4th Grade teacher Todd Hausman. Post one or more paragraphs on how real life along with technology helped the kids in math and elapsed time.
Iditarod and Math
Teacher Todd Hausman a 4th grade teacher in Washington involved Iditarod and Math, integrating the two through technology. He used this concept doing elapsed time. The Iditarod dogsled race starts in Anchorage Alaska and ends in Nome. Elapsed time is a very tricky concept for a lot of students. The kids get to follow the live race that goes on for days. I think that this concept helped the students because they could actually see the process.
Warnetta,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading and learning about this method of teaching students about elapse. The subject of elapse can be challenging to teach so sometimes it is essential to show students an example. Technology is a wonderful tool to use when presenting an example of what happens or what needs to be done. Thank you for sharing your idea on teaching elapse.
