Teaching my Math Lesson

Today in Mrs. Miller's firt grade class I taught my Math lesson. It was about introducing a new Math text book that the students had never used before. The book is a part of the "Everyday Math" curriculum and it is called "My Resource Book." Inside the book are definitions to different math concepts that the students have learned or will learn throughout the year. I took the time in my lesson to go over the table of contents with them to show them what kinds of things were in their book. I explained to them that the book was to be used as a helpful resource for them to look to when they need help with a math concept. I made up a scaveger hunt game for them to do to help them have fun going through the book. The lesson, I believe, went really well. At first I was nervous because I did not know how much fun this lesson was going to be for them, however they seemed to really get into it!

  2. We just did this lesson as a class last week (we use the Everyday Math book) and the students really seemed to enjoy the scavenger hunt. The also were really excited about exploring a new book. I think this lesson is important because it incorporates both math and literacy.
