Elementary students give math lessons to parents
Keystone Montessori School elementary students gave math lessons to their parents in the Math Expo. Some of the lessons given by children demonstrated addition of four-digit numbers using the bank game, addition using the small bead frame, checkerboard multiplication, snake game, and several others. In this expo, students showed the materials, and worked through a problem to demonstrate how they are used.
This is a great way for parents to see some of the lessons their children have mastered. Students enjoy the special moment of leadership and the opportunity to teach the material. They prepare by practicing the problem, and their commentary. Of course, they welcome questions from parents.
Here’s a video of the Small Bead Frame Addition. (a bit pixelated, I apologize).
Later in the year, students will offer language lessons to parents at the Elementary Language Expo.
