Hats off to Mrs. Patgorski! Wanting her students to have that “A ha! I GET it!’” moment, Mrs. P. met with me last week to plan for today’s lesson on regrouping. Instead of the usual run-of-the-mill manipulatives, students today went virtual with Kidspiration 3 and turned subtraction in to a fun learning activity, as well as an activity that brought math vocabulary words to life. The possibilities are endless (Food chains! Cause and Effect! Make your own templates!).
