I don't think I can fit all 12 beach balls - but I may try! I know lots of people use beach balls in the classroom, but I haven't used them in such a long time that I thought I'd share my excitement about finally getting around to getting new ones! I have a little bit of a beach theme in my room this year, so that motivated me to get some beach balls again. I ordered a pack of 12 and am writing different math skills practice on them - so far I have multiplication facts, exponents, fraction/decimal conversions, and common measurement conversions. I have 12 beach balls to fill with math, so I need to decide on more topics. I think I'll do square roots, division facts, math vocabulary...I need to keep thinking:-) Palm tree w/math practices - word wall will be to the right. Our math classes aren't that long, but I figure I can squeeze in 5 minutes at the end of class once or twice a week to toss the beach balls around for some quick facts. With so many differ...
Great idea! How about using it to review key vocabulary from a unit? Or write a target number in the center and write different expressions that equal that number!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I might apply it for end year activity in our school. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove this wheel! I will use it "Rolling into Science" as a Safety Rules wheel. Students can write safety rules in the sections, I can decorate a bulletin board with their wheels! Thank you!
