Unit 2 – Everyday Mathematics

October 8, 2009 | | 2 Comments

Greetings-

Well, the beginning of the school year certainly has taken away the daily aspects of keeping up with the likes of a blog, so I have had to put the blogging on the back burner until I can better handle these multiple tasks.

I am posting today about the latest addition to the Box.net shared folder I have created. It is a Notebook file that correlates with the 1st Grade Everyday Math Unit 2: Everyday Uses of Numbers.

EVD2.3

Below is the Table of Contents page that links you to each individualized lesson with the unit.

EVD2.0

Make sure to check out the Weather, Change, and Thermometer links within each days lesson plans. They are linked to specific daily calendar items that can be covered throughout the lesson now.

EVD2.1

Above is the Story of Money page where you can chart various topics about each coin. Look for specific links back to the lesson you were at in the top right (or sometimes top left) corners. If you notice a Light Blue Open Book Symbol on a Notebook page, this will link you back to the table of contents.

EVD2.2

One of the fun things that I have enjoyed doing through the construction process of these lessons, is trying to incorporate the interactive parts of the Notebook software with the Everyday Math games that the children play in the classroom. Above is an example of this. By adding the Flash-Based Die and creating a game board, we now have a Notebook version of the Penny-Nickel Exchange Game for the children to play on the SmartBoard.

If you have any questions as to how to work with this particular file, please feel free to contact me.

When I post lessons like this one and in the future I will be then posting the lessons onto my Box.net Share folder that is located at this Box.Net Link and is conveniently placed at the top right hand side of this blog.

Thanks for stopping by,
Bill
