I think it is important to have good open-ended questions that allow students to use different strategies to solve them at their own level of thinking. Sharing different strategies and ways of thinking about a problem are the highlight of these lessons in my class. I am continually amazed by my students' thinking!<br />This year all K-5 classes used the journal prompts from:<br />http://www.k-5mathteachingresources.com/math-journals.html<br />and we will definitely be using them again next school year.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07711980393220178333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-5137177771805235862011-04-04T20:54:59.844-05:002011-04-04T20:54:59.844-05:00I use my math journals throughout each math unit, ...I use my math journals throughout each math unit, but this year I have also used them to review all the concepts that have been introduced during the year at the end of each unit.

And so far, I love it! I don't get to them every day, but I wish I could. It gives me kids a chance to think a little bit differently than with the regular math program. I have tied it in to what we are doing with math or our social studies themes. I am actually going to start working on one today in hopes of using it in the coming weeks.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316414969705949993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-91185542622309101522011-04-01T06:54:46.837-05:002011-04-01T06:54:46.837-05:00Thanks everyone!Thanks everyone!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194571225988930877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-66669168751422772802011-03-31T22:15:48.469-05:002011-03-31T22:15:48.469-05:00Here are some rough templates that my grade level ...Here are some rough templates that my grade level uses in our math journals.

The cover page is a calendar of the current month. We fill in each day and talk about the date and how we can "make the date using coins". We decide if the date is odd or even. The next few pages are word problems. We do one problem per day. I have a weather graphing page too. My class can now complete their math books on their own. It takes only about 5 minutes.Amy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670384016437044674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-50817397017864739782011-03-31T14:27:20.565-05:002011-03-31T14:27:20.565-05:00We have Math Journal time first thing in the morni...We have Math Journal time first thing in the morning when the students come in the classroom.

Each lesson provides a "Morning Message" that either gets the children thinking about the the day's lesson or it requires the kiddies to recall what we did the day before. It is a great way to spiral back, when needed. I use the morning message, daily calendar, and monthly themed poems as morning start up work while everyone files in, I take attendance/lunch count/put out fires. It is nice b/c the children are independent with the routine, once it is in place. It is helpful to practice what to do if they get stuck. I usually have them write down anything they can remember from the day before OR they can write down as many facts as they can remember. They are not allowed to just sit. When the morning message work is finished they fill in their calendars and decorate their poems iwth their visualizations.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537385877307514267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-48238617965486470482011-03-31T08:52:41.153-05:002011-03-31T08:52:41.153-05:00I have two morning math journals.

The kids answer one question from the previous lesson or an invented question similar to the module test. <br />I have both journals available in my journal page on my blog. <br /><br />Cheryl<br /><a href="http://primarygraffiti.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Primary Graffiti</a>Mrs. Saoudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779133824420740297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-66376578006154879472011-03-31T08:23:36.289-05:002011-03-31T08:23:36.289-05:00We use our math journals almost every day!

It could be solving a problem so I can quickly see what they know or even finishing a sentence like "I need to know how to tell time because..." It's really great for making them think about what they've learned. :)<br /><br />Colleen Patton<br />http://pattonspatch.blogspot.comMrs. Pattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106748358220555004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171351518161769077.post-41549763827616648162011-03-31T07:32:58.678-05:002011-03-31T07:32:58.678-05:00I used math problem solving journals this year.

She only posted for a few weeks but has some great labels for journals. I have liked that added problem solving component it has given my math program.Sass Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714777828131308510noreply@blogger.com
