We’ve been talking geometry in class recently. We’ve discussed polygons (Mrs. Yollis class has a great post about them), angles, and now circles. We began by reviewing all the different parts of a circle. In the picture above, you’ll see a green line segment extending fro the center point of the circle to the edge [...]
As many of you know, I switched grades this year. After previously teaching fourth grade for the past two years, I’ve made a transition up to sixth grade this year. One of the greatest parts about the change was being able to work with the same students I had two years ago. It’s been amazing [...]
We’ve been putting our green screen to great use this year. We’ve been making so many different videos. We made our Math Movie Network intros at the beginning of the year. We’ve also made videos about all different math topics. One thing we’ve found while making them is that things don’t always go perfectly the [...]
The Math Movie Network is back, bringing you the latest from our sixth grade classroom! This time, some of our experts provide you with a look at how to solve problems with exponents and the order of operations. One of the topics that we’ve been learning all about are exponents. Much like where multiplication is [...]
In math, we’ve been learning all about decimals. We’ve learned how to add and subtract with decimals, multiply decimals, and divide decimals. When learning to divide, we did plenty of problems with decimals in the dividend. We learned that when there is a decimal in the dividend, you just need to make sure your decimals [...]
We’re back for another year! The buses have pulled up for the first time. Students have walked into their new classes for the first time. And we’ve filmed videos for the first time! Last year, we had our News Teams 4, 5, 6, and 7 to represent our various projects. This year, we’ll be sharing [...]
As an end of the year assignment, students were given a project. Their assignment, work as a group to create a video about any math topic that we learned about this year. One of our goals for math this year was not just to learn but to learn the subject area well enough that we [...]
In math, we’ve been working with fractions! A fraction can be used to show a part of a whole. For example, we could use a fraction to show how many pieces of the circle are shaded in below. The circle is split into four equal pieces. The total number of pieces in the whole is [...]
