We are living through a historic moment in history that has brought about some major changes to our lives. As an elementary math educator, I wanted to figure out a way for students to capture this moment through a math activity. That’s when I came up with the idea of creating a time capsule. <\/p>\n
I presented the activity a few weeks ago as a webinar for a homeschooling consortium but when we lost the video of the presentation, I decided to film it again and am including it for you below.<\/p>\n
It’s a simple but fun project that the whole family can do. With a little adaptation, it would work in the virtual classroom, as well. If you’ve seen my other videos<\/a>, then you know that doing projects with students is one of my favorite teaching activities. Projects:<\/p>\n -are fun, engaging and motivating
\n-lend themselves well to students taking charge of their learning
\n-tie in a variety of math skills and concepts
\n-allow us to use math vocabulary in context making the learning much more meaningful<\/p>\n
