Hey there now! If you found this blog, I bet you are in my class this year! To find out more about me or to read about our exciting class program, check out our class website.

This year, we will use this blog as a fun way to communicate with one another. As you may already know, weekly communication between teacher and student is very important. A blog is an easy way to keep in touch while learning about your virtual classmates!

Each week, I will publish a new post on this blog. Posts may include an activity, a question, a sample of student work, or another school-related idea. Sometime during the week, please leave a comment using your first name only. It will be fun to see what other students have written as well!

Kids who comment will be entered into a lollipop drawing. If I pull your name out of my hat, I'll send you a lollipop in the mail!

Are you ready to join the blogging world? Feel free to leave a comment below (click here for help). Then stay tuned for our first official post next week!


Blog ya later,

Math about Me... Updated Versions!

Soooo... I'm excited to share that my Math about Me printables have been downloaded 2,005 times on Teachers Pay Teachers this month. Thanks everyone! 

I've also received fabulous comments, which is half the fun.


A couple people mentioned that in Canada, they don't use the term "Zip Code".

Zip Code [noun] : a number that identifies each postal delivery area in the United States. 

postal code [noun] : in Canada, a mailing code of numbers and letters similar to the postcode in Britain.

Aha! I learn something new every day!

Here are two new versions of this project. Both can be downloaded on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Math about Me 2

(with "My Postal Code") 

 ...and just for fun I made up this version that doesn't contain Zip or postal codes!

Math about Me 3

(with "My Bedtime")

  Thanks!

Math about Me

It's fun to think of math as it relates to our lives. It's also satisfying to put a creative spin on any math assignment. For this activity, we do both! Kids fill in each section of this printable page with information about themselves. For "My Height" and "My Head Circumference" they'll need measurement tools... and a partner!

Here are a few completed projects. These will look great mounted on colorful construction paper on your back-to school bulletin board! The center is blank, so you can have kids write their names, draw a self portrait, or glue a photo there.

For "Letters in My Name" students might count the number of letters, get creative with geometry, or tie in some other mathematical concept, like so...

My favorite part is the "One More Fact" ray...

"I have 24 teeth."

"I have a $100 bill!"

For other versions of this project, see this post.

If you use this in your class or with your own kids, send me a photo of the finished product. I'd love to see it.

Enjoy!
