Interactive Math Bulletin Board Ideas from Kutztown @http://faculty.kutztown.edu/schaeffe/BulletinBoards/bbs.html

I have seen this classroom management system in many classrooms and think I may make a modified version for my classroom. I find myself redirecting students and it interferes with the flow of my lesson. Once this is in place, I can just move their clothespin without much interuption.



@http://www.buzzmath.com/ Middle School Math Site that is linked to Common Core – allows for one FREE class to be enrolled for a school year. I would be interested to hear about it if anyone in their school choses to use it.

Marilyn Burns states her philospohy for writing in math class:

Basically, writing about math stimulates a different part of the brain than simply working the arithmetic alone. By using multiple parts of the brain during the learning process, the understanding is deepened and retention is increased. In fact, the more ways you can learn math (through art, music, drawing, writing for example) the more pathways you create in the mind. Those pathways then become a network of various avenues for the student to travel along in doing math problem solving. It's like having four ways to get home from the grocery store instead of just one.
