For some reason, that was unsuccessful. Now, how do I get back to downloading your math journal, w/o paying for it again?<br /><br />Thanks, Camie<br />(916) 275-0806<br />camie.gould@gmail.comCamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746233432346796167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202102119215739734.post-8234558681501230492013-02-02T09:53:18.860-05:002013-02-02T09:53:18.860-05:00Jen,

Stumbling across your blog in the summer motivated me to try the notebooks in my classroom this year and it has been wonderful. The students truly enjoy the hands on.

They can read this number in any unit without doing any multiplication or division. That alse goes very well when working with decimal numbers and converting tens to hundredths, etc...Mercedes Lópezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049580688301111192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202102119215739734.post-42237686166081950352013-01-27T18:42:25.928-05:002013-01-27T18:42:25.928-05:00Thank you for sharing!

We have just started measurement but not this section- time, and then area and perimeter. <br /><br />When I teach conversion I usually do the staircase as well but not as a three- dimensional. Will have to incorporate it like this into the math notebooks this year! <br /><br />My students refer back to their notebooks all of the time when they are stuck or need a little reminder. I can see this helping them with this concept! <br /><br />Love the picture of your fan question through the document camera. Sadly, mine has disappeared from my cart at school. :( I am going on an all out hunt tomorrow. Have a good week!

My students LOVE it! It is probably the best thing I have done for my teaching practice this year. <br /><br />I find metric conversions can be so challenging for students. One thing that has worked for my students is to teach them to create equivalent fractions and use proportional reasoning. That way, they never have to memorize anything or remember which way the decimal "moves". <br /><br />For example:<br /><br />540g/1000g = xkg/1kg They are really good at solving for x using equivalent fractions, somehow that always makes sense to them, so I use that for conversion. <br /><br />I use the same method to teach them how to solve probability questions. They quickly discover that this method works for all proportional reasoning situations.
