FREE MATH LESSON - “Free - Fun Math Animation Based Activity for Multiplication and Problem Solving”

by PrepToon - Bring Math to Life Using Visuals 

5th - 8th Grade

The Mall of Amazingness is a fun and short animation video followed by a question and the solution. 

The animation is lively and engaging and will encourage critical thinking and problem solving in students. It depicts a scenario in which Sammy’s Uncle gave Sammy a gift certificate for $50.00 to spend in a mall and he is going to try to spend every penny. Sammy’s challenge is to determine which combination of choices (Movie Passes, Arcade Passes and Recreation Passes) would help him spend every penny.

Teachers have used this in class and found it very creative and useful in engaging students. This is also a great tool as a Warm-up, Remediation, and Special-Ed activity.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - "In Honor of Soldiers-Every One: A Veteran's or Memorial Day Project"

In Honor of Soldiers-Every One: A Veteran's or Memorial Day Project

By: Connie Casserly

Grades 6-12

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Connie

This is a FREE activity to honor and remember all military personnel who died in battle (Memorial Day), and all men and women, living or deceased, who served in the military (Veteran’s Day).

Students select a book to read from the list provided, or one that they choose.  The list given with this project covers all conflicts involving the United States military from the Civil War through Afghanistan and Iraq. After they read the book, students complete two projects: one visual, and the second where they write a letter to an active duty soldier (websites are given for addresses).

Student Directions

Directions: Read a book, fiction or non-fiction, about American men and women who have served the United States by fighting in any war from the Civil War to Afghanistan and Iraq. When you are finished, complete the following two assignments:

1.  Prepare a project relating your knowledge and understanding of the story. This can follow any format. Here are a few ideas: A poster, painting, sculpture, photographic collage, video, skit, song, book report, or project of your choice. For the latter, get your teacher’s approval. These will be due on the date specified by the teacher.

2.  Write a letter to a soldier. Here are two places to find soldiers’ names, to get ideas about what to write and to learn how to address the letters,  check out:

www.operationgratitude.com/letters-to-heroes and www.anysoldier.com/WheretoSend.

NOTE: Show the letter and addressed envelope to the teacher before sending it.

 

Although Memorial Day is not for five weeks, I offer it now so students will have time to read their book of choice and complete the two assignments.

Teachers can also use the activities in this posting if they are reading a military-based book as a class (example: All Quiet on the Western Front- Erich Maria Remarque, The Red Badge of Courage- Stephen Crane, or The Things They Carried- Tim O'Brien).

My students love examining and reading about the Civil War weapons, leaders, and battles from the website.

Look Around Your School for Earth Day Treasure. Recycle. Reuse. Refurbish.

Contributed by Danielle Knight, Study All Knight
Blog http://studyallknight.blogspot.com

Around Earth Day we can't help but think about all the "stuff" we use in our lives on a daily basis that get thrown away. I especially do this at school. When it comes to teaching items, things can be expensive. A brand new teaching cart can run from $150-$400. And, if you prefer a cart with a bottom shelf, plastic, or maybe has a drawer, well then you are way out of any teacher's budget! 

One Teacher's Junk, Can be Another Teacher's Treasure!

In 2010: After several requests for a cart I was lucky to receive a dilapidated 35-ish year old full metal cart from the world languages department. I was fortunate though, there was not a cart in the building without an owner. This cart was an eye sore; it had scratches, rusted shelves and legs, lots of half-ripped stickers, questionable stains, and dented. But I didn't mind! It was all mine! I was ready to give it some TLC. So slowly, I began to use the cart for student's projects. But, then, it sat in my department office. Idle. Lonely, Cluttered. Collecting unwanted junk.

November, 2012: My co-teaching partners and I embarked on a journey, in a pilot program to teach with "secondary centers." All of a sudden we needed to be mobile with our folders, task cards, posters, index cards, markers, file crates, clip boards. Wall-ah! The cart was ready to rise to the occasion in the English department and house our centers and teaching materials.

Summer, 2013: Pinterest gave me inspiration, lots of hope, a dream. I saw lots of pins on how to refurbish old filing cabinets, old office chairs, stools, metal desks...so why not my cart? September, 2013: With the expertise of my physical education teacher husband (who has a summer painting business) we made a list of all the things I needed from Home Depot to complete the process: spray paint, blue tape, 4 bags, steel wool, and clear contact paper (optional) 

So here are the before and after pictures of our process in turning the cart into a viable and integral teaching center! ENJOY!

Here are some Earth Day teaching ideas for your classroom this week...
