Educational Reflections (formerly Rumblings from 52)

This blog began in Room 52 at AMG Junior and Senior Public School in 2011. This site has followed me to a few schools since then and now joined the roster of retired blogs in the social media universe. The journey and reflection will continue in different and exciting spaces. Room 52 remains one of the most significant places of teaching and learning for me and grateful to the students and staff who supported me there. Thank you.

Mathematics

I used to use Math games a fair bit when I would review and teach concepts in Math. It was another mode for offering another way of learning for a number of our learners. I will aim to return to this method this year.

There is another game, worthy of review and playing, but it requires an explanation and teaching of Improper & Mixed Fractions (sometimes known as Mixed Numbers).
