I just learned about this site called Mathtrain and thought I would share.
I have not used it in my class, but I do plan on incorporating the idea after
break. Mathtrain is known for being a free, educational “kids teaching kids”project
from Mr. Marcos and his students at Lincoln Middle School in Santa Monica, CA. How awesome!
Sixth grade students teaching math concepts for others to learn. There are times that students understand each
other better and if a student can teach another student about a concept, then
you know the ‘teacher’ student has mastery of that skill. This is a great alternative assessment for
students, as well. Create a video on a
learned concept instead of completing a pencil and paper test. Love it!
The video below is a Mathtrain spotlight story.
This video clip is from a TEDx talk given by Alan November discussing Mathtrain and the great advantages of kids teaching kids.
