Logopaths: Feed the Turtle

Years ago, my students absolutely LOVED Geo-Logo. I'll never forget the amazing and complex creations of a kid named Derek Red Feather. (Derek - where are you???)

Unfortunately, Geo-Logo was gimped in the Investigations 2nd Edition. Doug Clements (the creator of Geo-Logo AND Building Blocks) and myself had quite a session lamenting this fact at the last NCTM Conference.

Nevertheless, the Logopaths software will still provide plenty of learning opportunities for your students. Hopefully, they've already experienced this in Unit 3. If not... there's no time like the present to add this to your workshop! You can find the software on your Investigations disk, assumed to still be in your binder.

I Have... Who Has? Coin Cards!

The Mathwire has an excellent adaptation of the "I Have Who Has" activity using coin cards. Not only will this activity provide plenty of practice in using coin equivalence and coin recognition, but it will also give students some authentic practice in adding small quantities.

Download your own set of coin cards, and read all about the activity here at the Mathwire.
