Tired Tuesday & a Math FREEBIE
OhMyGoodness… today
was such a slow and t-i-r-i-n-g day! Yesterday my kids worked with
multi-step story problems in math. When I was planning the lesson, I looked
through my files and wasn’t happy with the few activities that I had, which was
very little. So, I decided to make my own multi-step story problem worksheet. I
usually like to make at least two different worksheets (for differentiation
purposes) when I make my own math papers; however, I was pressed for time the
other day and only made one. I was okay with this though, since I ended up
giving the worksheet as homework. Sadly, I was reminded today that many of my
kids don’t get help when they are doing their homework. Out of the 22 kids that
were present yesterday, only 9 students did the first four problems correctly,
and only 4 of those students did the entire page correctly. I’ll be honest; the
page is a bit advanced as far as the reading element goes. However, the
problems are set up almost exactly as the problems that they saw on their
in-class assignment. This leads back to the fact, that many of my students do
not get the support they need at home when they are doing their homework, which
is just plain sad!
Here are
