Just a short video - Part 2 - of some ideas on helping kids journal in math. It’s actually a condensed workshop that I’ve done. It moves fairly quickly at parts, but you can always scroll back to see parts again. Some of the ideas I touch on are using math journals to review ideas, activate prior knowledge, and get kids talking and communicating. I also provide some Free Stuff on my site to help get things moving. For example, I allude to the “Born Numeracy” movie. I have Part 1 and Part 2 of that movie at: www.youtube.com/Zapplepi and the lesson plans under “Free Stuff” at www.zapple.ca
The topic is complex, but I hope this can give you some ideas to get things moving…
