It leads into great discussion about how all composite numbers may be decomposed into their prime factors, as well as constructed through multiplying prime factors by one another (including repeated factors). I just shared this task and your blog with several of my colleagues this morning.

I have lots of kids who hang back and don't contribute, just wait for me to write answers and copy them down (learning nothing in the process). Frustrating! I use lots of foldables, rotations with hands-on exploration activities, discussions about the many different methods to solve problems... STILL, I have blank stares and often hear crickets. How do you keep this moving (so it doesn't take 2 hours!) and make sure they're engaged? I LOVE the bansho technique, but want to make sure I really get bang for my educational "buck" (meaning time, because in teaching, time is money!)...

I've used 3 lessons already, and plan to use a fourth this week. I really like using the book to introduce new concepts - it really has the students thinking and exploring. My principal is going to buy all the books next year so that each classroom has one.Runde's Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131626283927713737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202102119215739734.post-52278700628959411082012-04-22T19:41:52.262-04:002012-04-22T19:41:52.262-04:00Oh, I just saw the link to the fourth grade one, s...Oh, I just saw the link to the fourth grade one, so sorry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202102119215739734.post-34528570115455667662012-04-22T19:39:13.893-04:002012-04-22T19:39:13.893-04:00Love this lesson.

Question, I'm still learning Smart Board, how do I get the dice? Is it something I have to create myself? I looked on SMART Exchange, but didn't find it. I'm on my home computer, not sure if it's on my computer at school.
