Mix it up! While observing a math class recently, I was in a 6th grade math class that was looking at prime numbers. To hook the kids, the teacher played a great song called Prime Numbers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRz4hW9SPPc It was a fun way to start the class.
Next she gave them a foldable for their Math folders that gave hints to remember prime numbers. The foldable was an ingenious idea. It previously was a black folder with pockets. It was folded in 1/4s to make a neat and different foldable that has the room to hold tons of smaller foldables. I hope I can get a picture to show. This teacher said she had found this idea at a math conference. Next she did a round robin contest where they had to say the prime numbers in order! I had to stop and think! It was tough! Last man standing received candy! All in all it was a fun Math class!
Great way to use a 25 cent folder!
