K-5 Math Teaching Resources

      I think the purpose of this website to give other teachers ideas on what to do with a simple math lesson. Meaning, instead of just standing in front of the class and explaining to them how to use a certain strategy. You can use one of these innovative ideas and make your class a lot of fun. It will make learning fun, and the teacher may even have fun teaching it.  I would use this website because it is fun place to go and get different ideas on how to teach your students. For example, if you were having trouble teaching your students how to write and interpret numerical expressions, or some students were not grasping the idea of it. Then this website gives you a couple activity ideas. Therefore, the students can see the strategy in another way, rather than just looking at a worksheet over and over.  I think it could help gain more knowledge about teaching. I think that because you could use one of these activities and see that your students really get it when you teach it that way. Even though all students are different, for the next year you know that you really know how to teach a strategy with this worksheet. You could also try and use these activities with other strategies, where you would of course change it, but it could be the same format. I think the most interesting part of this website was that you can pin this websites on Pinterest. Therefore, if some teachers/educators who do not go to this website and are on Pinterest, then they can see what type of things you are doing in your classroom. So overall, it is a great way to share more and more ideas with everyone. It does not have to stop with one person doing it, you can share it with everyone. I would definitely recommend this website to others. Mainly because it is a great way to liven up your classroom. Like I have stated before, no student likes hearing a lecture and then doing a worksheet. Therefore, you can add these fun activities to your lesson and see your students enjoy learning.
