I am so lucky to find great teaching colleagues at every school that I work at! One of my lovely colleagues was kind enough to pass on this document to me from a PD session she attended the day that I supplied for her. This document contains links to many useful math websites that can be incorporated into lessons, or your daily math routine. Hope that you enjoy discovering some of these resources, just as I did! I pulled this graphic from the slides of one of the OTF Connects webinars that I participated in recently. I loved the concrete examples given in this chart for what "rich talk" during literacy lessons can sound like. What are some lessons that you have used/created to encourage "rich talk" in your classroom?
Image Credit: http://www.classroomconnection.ca/mymoney.html Financial literacy is a "buzz" term that educators are hearing more and more. That's because knowing about debt, credit, and managing one's own money are skills that students are not receiving instruction on. If students are not learning these concepts at home or school, where are they supposed to learn them? Teachers need to find new and meaningful ways to integrate these concepts into their lessons.
Lucky for us, the Toronto Star has created activity books focused on financial literacy for both elementary and secondary students! You can find these downloadable, and printable documents at the link below: http://www.classroomconnection.ca/mymoney.html Also, follow "classroom connection" from the Toronto Star on Twitter for more resources! @starclassroom |
