Albertville Primary students are all encouraged to read and take AR tests.  They also have the opportunity to become more fluent with basic math facts by taking Facts in a Flash tests and passing off levels of math concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc...  
When students in first grade obtain 50 AR points and or pass off all addition and subtraction levels of Facts in a Flash they are able to participate in our Walk of Fame.  Our second grade students may also participate in the Walk of Fame when they achieve 100 AR points and or pass of all addition and subtraction levels of Facts in a Flash.  These Walk of Fame parades are in January, March, and May of each school year.

Math Journaling

I had someone ask me a good question and I thought I would forward that question and the suggestions we discussed together on to everyone in case it may help others when implementing math journals into the classroom.

Questions
I had the best intentions of incorporating a math journal into my center time, but have not come up with an effective way to do so.  I was hoping you could give me some helpful tips on how to introduce this and what types of problems I could present to them at this point that would correlate with our program and would encourage some more HOT.

Suggestions

Vocabulary building- Have students write the vocabulary word, definition and draw a picture explaining what it means.  Also give examples.

After the summarize section in the lessons, there is a math journal prompt.  This allows the students to use pictures or words to explain the concept learned in each days lesson.  These questions can be printed off and placed in a center.

The extended constructed response question in the assessment book (from form b) of each chapter test would be a good journal question to use at the end of each chapter.

Problem of the day questions would be good for journal use.
