My fellow HCPS ITRT, Karen Hues, had a blast in 5th grade using the Math on the Spot resources! Math on the Spot is a growing resource that our team of elementary ITRTs have started to develop for teachers and students to use. We make short videos focusing on where we encounter math in the real
world. Every video has a “Spot Check” which is an activity that goes along with the video. In every episode we run into a problem that can only be solved with the amazing power of math!
We’ve done probability at Sweet Frog, elapsed time at the UCI Road World Championships that Richmond, VA hosted last year, we made arrays tasty by baking cupcakes, and soon we will be doing fractions with bowling. Mrs. Hues said that the 5th graders had an AMAZING time using Math on the Spot.
If you want help incorporating Math on the Spot into your lessons let me know!
