Choose an Operation Readers Theater
Do your students struggle with choosing between addition and subtraction while reading word problems? When I noticed that students in my class really loved reading plays and were stronger at reading than in math, I created this activity to show the connection between the two subject areas. I believe that by stretching out a word problem into a play, students are better able to internalize the actions that are taking place in the problem and can make a better plan to solve.

Measurement using How Tall How Short How Faraway?

In the book, he discuss how ancient mathematicians used body parts to measure things. Realizing that not everyone has the same size body parts led to a universal measurement system.
