Metric conversion has been one of our lowest standards on recent State Math Assessments, so we used dry-erase boards along with a SMARTBoard lesson to teach students how to convert metric units. They then measured various objects around the school building, inside and out. Students then used the Flip Camera to video their team members “teaching” others how to convert their object to a different metric unit. We took turns watching them, while preparing for Formatives and eventually for the State Assessment.

While using a lesson on the SMARTBoard, students were taught the different labels for various types of triangles. They learned that triangles were not only measured by their angle size, but also by the lengths of their sides. Then students created a “paper slide show” and used their Flip Cameras to videotape them explaining the different types of triangles. These were watched in class, and will again be shown as we get closer to the State Math Assessment.

To reinforce division rules, students worked in groups to create actions to songs about division. The songs were obtained from Discovery Education Streaming. They also created props to illustrate how their division rule should be used.

To review specific skills, students created slides that describe the steps to solving a problem using that skill and then gave an example of how that skill should be used.
