Fourth+Quarter

This is what the students will cover in the fourth marking period.

We will cover probability, properties, patterns and integers//....(.I wish integers started with the letter "p")// I create new words to current songs the students know and we sing them in class. It helps them remember difficult concepts in a fun way. Even the students who say they do not like the songs and motions, they are the ones that come back years later telling me they still remember my silly songs!

Here is the powerpoint that goes along with the song fireflies by Owl City.

Another fun activity we do at the end of the year is "red & black" days. When learning about negative numbers we attach the color red to the negative integers. Black is attached to the positive integers. We use this color code to use manipulatives and add, substract, multiply and divide. Playing cards help the students add, subtract and multiply postive and negative integers in a competitive way. They have alot of fun! Click the link to see the directions to the card game.
