But creating these for our Points, Lines and Planes lesson gave the kids a good reference tool, which they can include in their portfolios or tape into their notebooks when they get them. And this was MUCH more fun than copying notes into a notebook.Miz Menardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-61634141588544729152010-09-12T12:41:26.609-05:002010-09-12T12:41:26.609-05:00I love her book, so I guess I should do more of th...I love her book, so I guess I should do more of these. I'm really liking the composition notebook because now there's a place to glue the foldables. And from "confessions from the couch" I like the idea of gluing a pocket on a page sometimes so that the kids can put flashcards in them.<br /><br />Ms. CookieShireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-344292478821653372010-09-12T12:32:03.009-05:002010-09-12T12:32:03.009-05:00I LOVE foldables!

My favorite one I've used so far in geometry was a 2-tab venn diagram style for the properties of parallelograms- which was broken down into rectangles, squares, and rhombi. <br /><br />I was googling the book I use for them (Dinah Zike's Teaching Math with Foldables) and found a pdf of many examples and pages in the book.

When I get to those geometric vocab words that always trip kids up (vertical, corresponding, alt. interior, alt. exterior, etc) I'll definitely be using this!<br /><br />Mimiuntilnextstophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285583728476473117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-15169198346691108662010-09-11T20:55:12.395-05:002010-09-11T20:55:12.395-05:00i love foldables. . . .so glad to see people using...i love foldables. . . .so glad to see people using them in math!!!Teachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067893917869707719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-85412935975953788592010-09-11T18:27:09.461-05:002010-09-11T18:27:09.461-05:00Jonthan,

I've never thought of it like that before.<br /><br />I'm not perfect in the least bit, and this particular hasty misspelling on my part was more a case of muscle memory I'm guessing. <br /><br />My hand is racing forward to finish up the word and maybe the muscles remembered that if a word is ending, and there's a "g" there, then an "h" obviously follows (tough, rough, though, ...). Meanwhile, my mind is thinking about the time and what I want to say next and so on and not concentrating on what my hand is deviously doing.<br /><br />Ms. Cookie (who needs to get the mind and body together for a chat)Shireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-29811364998500097172010-09-11T15:49:10.522-05:002010-09-11T15:49:10.522-05:00Length use to give me a problem, too.
Solved it. ...Length use to give me a problem, too.<br /><br />Solved it. <br /><br />LONG + TH (and then the vowel alternates)<br /><br />Same TH as makes <br />Warm + th = warmth<br />Deep + th = depth<br />Wide + th = width<br />Slow + th = sloth<br />Merry + th = mirth<br /><br />Same or similar TH makes<br />bear + th = birth<br />steal + th = stealth<br /><br />So I had to learn some English along the way. But otherwise, I would have always got that one wrong.<br /><br />JonthanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-15687469620171199072010-09-11T14:15:08.859-05:002010-09-11T14:15:08.859-05:00You're welcome.
