School is back in Session

I look forward to a new school year! I just taught a fifth grade class and it was so good to see how much they have grown over the summer. Yay for the new school year!

Third Grade Power Point Lesson

My third graders are about to wrap up their Power Point assignment. Over the past four weeks they have been working on a Multiplication Power Point. They had to create 8 slides total... In each slide they had to create a picture and a word problem and number sentence to represent each picture. 

We worked on Arrays and Grouping in Multiplication:

This was a good project for them because they were able to use what they have been learning about multiplication and apply it in their very own Power Point. 

Skills used:

• Editing: Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete Slide, Undo
• Keyboarding
• File functions: Save As, Save, Open
• Tools: Spelling
• Insert: New Slide, Picture, Textbox, etc...
• View: Element Gallery, Toolbars, Fonts, Backgrounds, etc...
• (more to come)

We are almost finished with this project. Each child had to have 8 slides total. A cover slide, 3 array slides, 3 grouping slides, and a closing slide where they gave their definition of Multiplication and one way they might use it in real life.

This project is spread out over a period of weeks because I only see each class once a week for 45 minutes. 

If you have any suggestions on how to better this lesson or add on to it, please let me know. Thanks for reading!
