A few staff members were interested in the Middle School Math certification. This link is the brochure from Pattan, offering several online prep courses for certifications. If you would be interested in attending middle school math prep classes face-to-face, please respond to this email and let me know. []
 * Math Message Week 8 **

Here is a link to multi-grade SMART board lessons for elementary math students. []

Check out [|www.abcya.com] – a great web resource for many topics in each grade level


 * Number sense idea ** : Cut a hundreds board apart (like a puzzle) and have primary students put it back together. Create varying difficulties by using different colored paper to keep track of the puzzles.



Attached are __Math Fact Road Tests__. The sheets can be placed a page protector and students can use a dry erase marker to complete the 50 problems in 2 ½ minutes. Record number correct each class. Teach a stragetgy for the facts they ‘skip’ or miss, and encourage them to focus on improving their score using that strategy.
