Those pennies have helped yet another math lesson. Today we focused on the difference between odd and even. We found that if we paired up the pennies for any given number that it was even if they all had a "friend" or odd if there was one "odd man out!" We even learned to look in the ones place for 2 digit numbers for a shortcut to find out if it is odd or even!
I graduated from Southwest Texas State University with a B.S. in Education. I've taught both private and public school for 20 years. I was an active neighborhood parent at Mark Twain (now my daughter is starting middle school at Pin Oak!)...and am proud to teach there, too! I am excited about providing a challenging inquiry based experience as well as creating a caring, reflective and supportive classroom community.
