Mental Math Medley

“Math Mental Medley” requires students to solve word problems represented verbally and record the answers on a provided answer sheet. I read each problem once, and students have only 90 seconds to answer it. I use a stop watch to manage time while performing this activity.
“Math Mental Medley” helps students listen, manage time, and enhance their calculation and problem solving skills. This activity is a good motivation for logical-mathematical students.
Grade five students are learning how to multiply and divide decimal numbers. I integrated this activity in their classroom, so I read five problems and students made their best to solve the problems as fast as they can correctly.

Math Word Wall

The word wall is a great visual reference as explaining a Math lesson. It’s an informative wall that contains all mathematical terms studied so far and helps in retaining them.

Several activities are done using the “Math Word Wall”.

Grade 3 students play a math game using the Math Word Wall. A student chooses a word from the math word wall and has to act this word; students have to guess what the word is.

We also use this wall to attach the “Math Journal”. In the “Math Journal” students document what they are learning during a math lesson and write down the steps that helped them solve a math word problem or exercise.

Moreover, this wall contains a corner for the names of “Super Math Students”. This way motivates students to do their best to have their name on the wall.
