Happy Back to School Time!
This week was my first week back in fifth grade math! I am so excited to share my latest creation with you, Make Your Mark Interactive Math Wall Enhanced With QR Codes! Let’s jump right in!
Interactive Bulletin Boards!
I have displayed two different types of interactive math boards in my room. The first one is from Let’s Stick Together. This is an amazing collaborative art project that I fell in love with when I saw it in action in a makers space at a library. You can access it here at Stick Together.
Look above the Stick Together sticker mosaic art in the photo and you can see my JEDI posters which highlight the expectations for group work, independent work, partner work and whole class activities. You can get your own JEDI posters here for FREE!!
The other interactive wall display I created features QR Codes! (Updated August 2020, HP Reveal and Augmented reality is no longer a functioning app so I have changed this wall into an interactive wall using QR codes instead.
I had one goal when I started this school year and that was to bring the love of math to my students with the help of a few of my “math friends”. I was determined to create a wall that would cultivate the love of math by showing how everyone regardless of race or gender, can become a mathematician. My students were in complete awe of these great minds as the pictures came alive! Students were excited to see how an actress was determined to help girls overcome their struggles in math (Danica McKellar) My students loved to see how science fields rely on math (Neil deGrasse Tyson) and how a NFL football player can be a MIT mathematician (John Urschel ) They were even impressed with the “old dudes” (as one of my students said) because “they did all those great things back then, without any technology!” We discussed as a class that we are all going to be members of this “squad” and become mathematicians this year, because anyone can be a mathematician!
I would love for your to spread our #squadgoals to your classroom! Do you want to try this amazing interactive wall in your classroom? All you need to do is sign up for my mailing list and you will be provided an exclusive password for my awesome FREEBIE LIBRARY! This fabulous activity is not available in my TpT store and can only be accessed by joining my email list.
I love to see my activities in action, so if you are an Instagram user, please tag me in a pic! Follow me @themathchick5
I hope you all have an amazing back to school week as well as a fabulous school year!
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Math
