During my Practicum B experience, I had the opportunity to create an activity file that consists of 50 activities, tasks, and games across the 5 mathematical content strands: Number & Number Sense; Computation & Estimation; Measurement & Geometry; Patterns, Functions, & Algebra; and Probability & Statistics. The activities were collected for students in K-5 grades and focused on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as promoting a variety of possible approaches and representations for solving the problems.
The following are several of the activities included in my activity file:
