A Refresher Course


Today my students worked in groups to "teach" a quick math review to their classmates. I say "teach" loosely, because I am not sure who was learning the new teachers or their students. All in all they did a good job. It was a great opportunity for them to get up out of their seats during this pre-FCAT week, to work with classmates, and to have to articulate a concept that they already have been taught. One group was given the task of reviewing customary weight measurement. They brought in small containers of snack foods and asked their classmates to guess the weight. What a yummy way to review measurement and conversions! Way to go teachers!
