Math Fair

After our math test we have been hard at work filling gaps and introducing skills that would have been missed because of the gaps when the new math TEKS were implemented.  In the afternoons though I had about an hour of time and I really wanted to give my students a project that would allow them to be creative while solidifying all the content we have learned this year.   So I decided to do a little math fair (which turned into a huge project).  I let them pick out a topic that the third and fourth graders would use next year.  They then had to do a mini lesson with visual (most had anchor charts or manipulative), a word problem highlighting key words and demonstrating the solution, and a game.  They loved getting to teach their skill and took so much ownership!  Here is a little taste of what we did.
