Math is an essential topic that students will use for the rest of their lives. Many Test Prep sources place a heavy emphasis on Math skills as they are stressed in important tests such as the SAT and ACT. Developing a strong background in essential math skills is critical for student's academic and personal success in the future.
Math can be a difficult subject for some students to grasp. Using a language of numbers baffles some children. By finding ways that teach to each student's individual learning style you will help them to learn the subject more effectively. Try using math flash cards to help students learn topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Teach students about handling Money in your classroom. Practicing with fake money will teach counting and the fundamentals of money concepts. Give your students play money as a reward for good behavior or good grades and let them spend the money they earn throughout the year. You can even host an ice cream party at the end of the year and let students buy toppings and different flavors of ice cream with the money they've earned!
- Learning about Time can be a challenge for some students. Time is structured differently from other systems, such as money, in increments of 60. By using teaching tools, such as the Write-on/wipe off demonstration clock, you can easily teach children how to read analog clocks. Move the hands of the clock around to demonstrate different times. This effective method of teaching time has been used for years and will help your students become masters at reading clocks!
- Math Activity Books are fun ways to entertain kids and teach them math at the same time. Topics range from counting to geometry and are designed to cater to specific ages and skill levels. These entertaining activities will captivate student's attention and teach them important concepts at the same time.
