Mathivate

by Kim Thomas

M..A..T..H..what does it spell? BEST SUBJECT EVER!!! Thank you x thank you for your part in making sure kids love learning!! My book, Mathivate, is the mathlicious technique to put a positive parabola on everyone's face. This book is filled with 15 x 10 pages of mathlicious activities, projects, and games that will ensure kids love learning math. I have been teaching for 7 x 3 + 4 years, therefore, I understand the busy life of a teacher. I created this book to be teacher friendly!! There are pictures of student artifacts, templates, a teacher page, and then a student page to duplicate. I use each of these ideas with middle school kids. I have presented to all grade level teachers and have been able to adapt these ideas for any grade level. The Math Muscles activity is what I use for the beginning of class questions. One version is a bingo card they complete with their answers. There are several projects that represent a variety of concepts, and a matholiday section. My students love their names, so I created several projects where they use their name. There are numerous activities that can be used daily. I use my vocabulary ideas, camathouflage and fracordiddles every week. These are quick mathtastic methods kids will love as you introduce math terms. Follow it up with once a week bamathanana!! Each day of the week is named for something fun that my students Mathoggle Monday, Tangeo Tuesday, Wuzzle Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, and Foremathead Friday!! My goal is for my class to be one of the best fractions of my kids' day. Being a math teacher, I have kids walk in my room with negative parabolas on their faces, and I am determined to rotate those into positive ones!! Kids can have fun and learn. I have dedicated my teaching career in making sure kids are loved and have fun while discovering the mathematics around us. I wish you the best x best + best year so far!!! I hope your students love these activities, projects, and games as much as mine!!! Add to your passion. Subtract the I can't. Multiply by I can. Divide by the love and respect we have for kids and the teaching profession. This will equal a celemathbration!!!
