Walking into my placement, knowing it was a core class, I was super scared about teaching Math and soon to come to teach Science. After my last two solid Math weeks, I realized that Math is actually very fun to teach and something that allows for many different possibilities when it comes to activities or games. The chapter that I have been focusing on for the past two weeks was Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers and Decimal Numbers.
Although I don't feel like every lesson needs to be super fun or filled with activities, I have put some interesting and fun activities together for the kids to enjoy with a subject that is many times scary for a lot of kids. I have become very fond of teaching math and am really enjoying it!!! And according to the kids, I make math fun and they really enjoy it because I "have all these cool activities all the time", even though its only about once or twice a week....
What a little seems like for one, may be A LOT for someone else; this is just what I think and feel about my experience thus far teaching math to my Grade 6 students.
This was an activity I did for Adding Decimal Numbers; I thought of a very cool way of integrating History and Geography into the lesson...it was quite useful and a lot of fun, the kids really enjoyed it!!
