Wordle would be helpful in
my classroom for vocabulary words. Math is like a whole new language and it
would be awesome to list math words for different aspects of math and have a
nice Wordle to display to remind kids of the most important words to know and
understand. This would be a great pre- and post- class or group activity. It
will withdraw prior knowledge of certain words and we would be able to compare
the pre-Wordle with the post-Wordle to see how students’ understanding
developed by the end of the unit or lesson. Wordle is so easy to use and very
versatile.
I had never really thought
of using concept mapping for math, but now, I envision great things using this
activity.
Students can use a mapping concept to show and explain the steps or
procedures to the different ways to solve problems. I would like them to show
the preferred process and a process they have seen or even used themselves.
From this, they will be able to compare and explain why the preferred route is
correct. I would have the students search and include links to websites,
webpages, or videos that explain the process in a more clear way for others to
understand. Concept maps are a great way for students to learn to organize
their scattered thoughts, which will lead to increased, and organized understanding,
which will lead to deeper thinking abilities.
