Great Math Videos for Teachers
MathVIDS is a great resource for teachers. It is an interactive website with videos about various math topics. The videos show real teachers in real classrooms using instructional techniques that support struggling learners. There are resources to help understand learning problems, design lesson plans and support instructional strategies as well as the actual videos. Be sure to check it out because we all have struggling learners in our classrooms!

Graphing: Caught on Tape! Look at this great glog of 3 vignettes of students actively graphing their names with unifix cubes, real apples and fruit loops. I really like the way they are making like a pictograph on the top and then a bar graph on the bottom with the fruit loops. I also like the vocabulary in action. I would do these activities in small guided groups so that I could really do some building of the concepts as well as work with the vocabulary.
