My Project
Number Corner refers to a program with a physical bulletin board. The display will host daily learning activities and the heart of a math-rich classroom environment. Students can make use of models throughout the day. It has daily discussions, problem solving, and short written exercises. Over the course of any given month, second graders will predict and post new markers in the calendar grid pocket chart; build, sketch, and record arrays to match the day's date and collect, display, and analyze measurement or survey data. Many days also feature a counting or computation activity focused around fluency with facts to 20, 100, and 1000 using the ten-frame, double-ten-frame, a fixed or open number line, or a number grid. Math will become less abstract as students work with concrete and visual models related to reading, writing and comparing numbers to 1,000; counting in groups of hundreds, tens, and ones, developing and using efficient strategies to solve double- and triple-digit addition and subtraction problems, telling time, measuring length and counting money; and investigating two- and three-dimensional shapes, rectangular arrays, and fractions.
While traveling with the Kansas Teacher of the Year program, this is the one activity that I saw working within a school system and wanted to bring back to my own elementary classroom.
