Tip of the week 12/12/07

With the updated software we have the ability to scan in documents. Another great way to help our students learn is to use the SMARTboard to teach flips and turns (rotation and reflection). Take a shape and put a dot in the shape. Have one student rotate the shape. Have the class discuss how the shape was moved. Students can check their guesses by rotating the shape so both shapes match.

Here is a helpful hint: In order to save all draw a rectangle around your group. Click on the arrow and then click on save.
