I n
ever realize there were so many strategies out there we can all use and apply in our different content areas. As I was going through all of them, I kept thinking to myself, how is this going to relate to math. Math is usually taught in the monotonous example-practice-review-assess way, never really looking at other ways to not make it so boring. But I think some of the strategies in literature can be applied. For example, the Double Entry Journal. The student write the literary question they have from the book on the left half of the journal page and after reading, answers the question on the right half. In math, the problem may also be on the left, but as they answer, they write in words each step for answering. Maybe a little modification here and there, but it can definitely work.

I know, there are so many different strategies out there. This assignment gave me a lot more tools for my future students :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very interesting strategy. Thanks for sharing.
