Going Deeper with Fractions
The new Common Core Standards is really for students to go deeper in content knowledge, think critically, and think about math concepts flexibly. What does it mean to think about math concepts flexibly? This means to go in-depth to understand a math concept from different angles. Some students are skilled at memorizing a specific format of math problems.
The problem is that if this same student encounters a different type of math problem on assessment day or in class, this student is stumped. This chart shows different ways of understanding fractions. I designed this to help the students that I work with see fractions from different angles.
Another idea is to have students create their own word problems. The constant review of writing these problems deepens understanding.

Taking Care of You
In the hustle and bustle of being an educator, friend, and everything of life, it is important to take time for yourself. One way to do this is by taking time with a hobby.
Windowsill Container Garden
With the changing seasons, this may be difficult to do, but starting a windowsill container garden is always an option. Container gardens take up little space. This is one of my container gardens. It contains green leaf lettuce. No matter what the hobby is, the most important idea is taking time to do something that you enjoy.
Have a great week!
