PBS Teachers
is a great resource for teachers to use in planning and teaching because there
are so many ideas and resources incorporated with this site. This is a free
resource that teachers can use in all grade levels across all subjects. They
offer lesson plans, teaching activities, videos, and games and simulations that
teachers can access and use in their classrooms. These things are interrelated
with the state and even national standards that teachers need to meet. This is
very helpful for teachers since they can get ideas and know exactly what
essential question and what standard it meets. Some of the subjects that PBS
Teachers has are: math, science, reading, language arts, computers, and other
strategies for teaching. All of these things help teachers have more ideas and
activities and new ways to teach to help improve student learning and
retention.
In second grade math one of the
things the students learn is fractions. Fractions can be complicated for
students to understand and learn so it is important that teachers teach them in
a way that is easy for students to understand. Lesson plans like this can assist teachers in making fractions easier
for students to learn. Online fraction games like this can help students learn
fractions outside of the classroom. A teacher could assign homework like this
so students can learn fractions better and become more familiar with them.
Parents and students can also get help learning fractions through websites like this one. This
shows why students have so much trouble learning and grasping the concept of
fractions. All of these links are free resources that anyone can use in order
to teach, learn or assist a second grade student with learning and
understanding fractions. This video explains how teachers use the PBS Teachers website.
