Place math
manipulatives (clock, blocks, money, ruler)
under the document camera. All of the students
can watch as you or a
student
work a math problem with the manipulatives.
Did
a student or students solve a problem
differently? Please show the class- how you
worked the problem .
In
the past, when teachers used the overhead to
teach math, they've had to use "transparent"
counters, markers, etc. Show them that it's not
necessary to buy transparent money, etc - With
an Elmo or even the less expensive Dukane "goose
neck" document cameras, you may use "real"
stuff.
This
works well with primary children when they are
counting -- Place 20 blocks on the document
camera - ask students to come show different
ways to group the blocks or unifix cubes- then
have the students group their blocks like the
one shown
