New Blog and A Giveaway!

By -
Hi,

Notice anything different?

Well I had Lindsey from Blog Designs With a Teacher In Mind redo my blog!  It is awesome!  She gave me a killer steal of a deal and the rest is history.  Go get in line NOW before her prices go up!


To celebrate I have a great little giveaway.   I was out and about at my favorite, Non Target/JoAnn/LakeshoreLearning/Gap, Store the other day.  It is called deal smart.  And just like their
logo It is a treasure hunt every time:


I went looking for some garage sale signs and came out with some really good (mostly elementary) math products.  (For my Middle School Friends...I have another give away later this summer specifically for you!  But feel free to win this and give it to someone you know-Keep the FLAIRS)

So Here is my Giveaway:

It is kind of hard to see everything in there but I will list it out.
  • One set of FLAIR PENS
  • ONE 6 STAMP STATION
  • Math Songs (Four books in one with the cd to accompany)
  • Flip over Math (Center or station book...Note the manipulatives do not come with it but you have most of them already I bet!)
  • One 36 page book of construction paper.
  • 1 Kindergarten dry Erase Crayola Number Tracer Book.



Easy Reinforcement Stamps.  Here is the link to the product.


Duh.  Construction paper and FLAIR pens!  WHAT THE WHAT!


Flip Over Math is a book that stands up by it's self.  IT is designed by the NCTM and it is actually a really good book.  I found one of these last year and used it for some of my ELL students in 6th grade.  I used it as a self learning station.  I did not have the "connecting people" math manipulative that went with it but I replaced the people with beads that students strung on a piece of yarn and it worked fine.  Here is a link to the product if you wish to buy it.  

Math Songs Is another little goodie I found while treasure hunting at Deal SMart.  IT is a hard cover book with loads of cute songs about learning math.  There was a GREAT one about the shape family!  Here is a link to this.  IT is brand new and comes with the CD!

And Finally the Crayola Dry Erase Number Activity book.

I forgot to take a picture of it so here is a link to the product and a picture stolen from google!

Ok.  I actually have TWO of these great packages to give away.  Here is what you have to do!

a Rafflecopter giveaway


I might throw in a bunch of other things too.  Who knows!

Have a great day!
Cheers,

    My favourite topic to teach is strategies. I love seeing them use mental math strategies and be able to name them!

    I teach kindergarten and one of my favorite math concepts to teach is geometry. I like how I can incorporate different lessons while learning about shapes such as sorting and counting corners and sides, not just learning the names of the shapes. We can also use shapes in art projects. We don't only learn about 2-D shapes but 3-D shapes as well and we can create structures. Thanks for the giveaway, fingers crossed! :)

    I'm just getting back into teaching after a 5 year break, but I'm looking forward to fractions in 3rd grade because there are so many ways to make fractions interactive and to make them meaningful!

    I currently don't teach math (I'm ELA/SS), but when I was substitute teaching and student teaching, I found it was easiest for me to teach factors and multiples - my brain can handle those. I'm pretty bad at fractions/geometry/measurement because my brain has a hard time picturing things. (I still practice, just in case I ever get my own class again!)

Fractions decimals and percents

By Unknown -

HI! I am actually Blogging!  That is crazy. We are getting prepared for a huge sale on TPT and So I thought I would let you know a little more in detail about one of my newest products. My students LOVED this activity.  I went to the store and bought "Fun Sized" bags of a very popular brand name candy coated chocolate candy. (If you look at the pictures you can probably figure out what it is :))  I also bought a bag of the "Mini" version of this particular candy!  Then I snagged a box of Dixie cups.  The idea of this activity is that students are to find the fraction/decimal/percent of each color in the bag of "Fun Sized" and the fraction/decimal/percent of the "Mini" versions. THEN.  Here is the kicker...they are to compare them to one another!  OH ingenious.  Many of my students were really confused on comparing .25 to 1/4.  Having the visuals of the candies helped them to grasp this concept!!!  Score! ...

Multiplication is for White People Chapter 1

By Unknown -
Part One: Inherent Ability 1. There Is No Achievement Gap At Birth One of the things I find myself constantly arguing is the fact that I am a white teacher in a not so white school.  I think I have heard (from the mouths of white people) “do you ever fear for your life?” more times than I would like to admit.  No I do not fear for my life.  I know where this is stemming from, the idea that black teenagers are somehow “more dangerous” than white teenagers.  Most of the time these types of comments are from folks who I believe to not be RACIST but, let's face it, they are pretty prejudice.  And there is a HUGE difference. (By the way…statistically speaking, look at school shootings and the demographics of the shooters.  Seems to me most of them are white, and in white neighborhoods.  I’m just saying.) In the first chapter of Lisa Delpit’s book “Multiplication is for White People," (MIFWP)  Delpit reminds us that childr...
