Rule Making Pre-K, Regents' Center For Early Developmental Education

Open Educational Resources

Physical science centers provide children with opportunities for active, hands-on learning. This can sometimes result in problems that need to be addressed in order for the center to run smoothly. Bringing the children together to create the rules for the classroom or for specific learning centers is an excellent way to promote collaboration, community building, and perspective taking. This activity also provides a rich opportunity to model and build on a variety of literacy skills.

Preservice Elementary Teachers Create Mathematical Mystery Object Boxes To Review And Teach Numeration, Algebra, Geometry, And Measurement, Audrey C. Rule, E. Grueniger, D. Hingre, K. Mckenna, Rov C. Williams Jan 2006

Preservice Elementary Teachers Create Mathematical Mystery Object Boxes To Review And Teach Numeration, Algebra, Geometry, And Measurement, Audrey C. Rule, E. Grueniger, D. Hingre, K. Mckenna, Rov C. Williams

Open Educational Resources

A study was conducted with forty-seven preservice childhood (elementary) education teachers (42 F, 5 M) enrolled in two mathematics methods classes taught by the same instructor to determine the effect of these college students making curriculum materials appropriate for upper elementary students on the preservice teachers' knowledge of numeration, algebra, geometry, and measurement. A Mathematical Mystery Object Box is a box containing a set of objects with corresponding clue cards. The student reads the mathematical clues addressing numeration, algebra, geometry, and measurement and attempts to locate the object that satisfies them, checking work with the picture of the correct object …

Activities For Differentiated Instruction Addressing All Levels Of Bloom's Taxonomy And Eight Multiple Intelligences, Audrey C. Rule, L. H. Lord Jan 2003

Activities For Differentiated Instruction Addressing All Levels Of Bloom's Taxonomy And Eight Multiple Intelligences, Audrey C. Rule, L. H. Lord

Open Educational Resources

This manuscript contains 13 curriculum units designed to enhance differentiated instruction for learners with special needs from grades 1-12, including gifted students. It integrates Benjamin S. Bloom's levels of cognitive understanding with Howard Gardner's eight domains of intelligence to provide a framework for individualized instruction. Each unit has activities for the eight multiple intelligences (logical-mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, and naturalistic intelligence) at each of Bloom's taxonomic levels: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The manuscript begins by explaining Bloom's and Gardner's contributions to educational research in the area of …
