We made Sports Day posters (recount) by following instructions ( procedure) to help us make it. Later we recorded our voices.
To set the context, the story to be sequenced was about a sport's day. First, the students ordered the pictures and the key past tense words. Next, they added the time connectives. Later they arranged the sentences ,using the past tense key words as a prompt, to match up with the pictures. Today during "Math talk" we discussed reading, describing and using numbers. Each student had a set of number tiles that they said out loud ( read ), talked about some of it's properties (describe) such as smaller than , larger than and place value and then ordered them ( use) on a number line.
Each student had a set of cards that they sorted into the correct story order. Next, they retold the story with help, using time connectives words and past tense verbs.
Our "Math talk" at the beginning of each lesson this week has been representing numbers in different ways; standard form, expanded form, word form and the Base 10 model. Next we will tackle word problems, a tough one for second language learners. |
