MAFS.2.OA.2.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
To help my second graders learn this standard, I would allow them to playy "educational games" as talked about in chapter 8. Specifically I would have them play the game "Baseball Math" located on FunBrain. This game is a very simple and straight forward and I think it would help learning addition and subtraction become fun! This game could be played during short media times for as little or as long as needed. It is just a good reinforcement tool that I think students could benefit from to practice their addition and subtraction skills! (Link to game: http://www.funbrain.com/math/index.html )
When I was in middle school, I remember one of my teachers explaining to me how to find a reliable source on the internet. She told me that websites with domains such as .gov and .edu are going to be the most reliable to use, this has stuck with me ever since. After listening to the podcast, I realized that this was similar to the ABCDT method, I am always checking the credibility of the sources. But the podcast also talked about looking at the website design to check credibility and that is not something I normally do, but it is definitely a good idea to use for the future!
During my web hunt assignment as the assignment went on, I started to realize which websites were reliable and which ones were not going to give me the answers that I wanted. I was also very surprised to find that there is a wealth of online information and study games that teachers can use for free! Being a student myself, I still find educational games one of the most helpful ways to learn and use quizlet to study for every major test still to this day, it is so nice knowing now that as a teacher I have so much access and availability to find resources such as these on the internet.
1. Your students are learning about Valentines Day, find a website that gives you reliable information about the origin of Valentine's Day
2. Find a website that gives you a tutorial of a fun Valentines craft you can do with your class
