Team Teaching

Natalie and Carla: I found their activity really good. They created an idea that can apply to real life situations as well let the children have fun. I had fun doing the problem so I would imagine grade 1's woud have a ball! it was so simple and easy to conduct that it was possible to add more condiments to their sandwich for those who are finished early. The best thing I liked about this topic was the fact that it helped students find patterns but apply it to a real life situation.

Amanda and Nichole: Like Natalie and Carla's idea, they decided to use food to help students find the math. The pizza party with fractions was very interesting because I am so used to using pie for fractions. With this topic, the students can apply to everyday life. They could figure out how many people can go to their parties and how much food they need. They would become helpers for their parens. I found it enjoyableand aware that I was continuing looking for solutions after I was done. It stuck in my mind.

I enjoyed these two lessons and hope to use them in my classroom.
