Looking for a highly engaging math lesson?

Check out these 3rd graders as they engaged in a variety of math centers.  All students were very focused on the task at hand.  As you can see, Ms. Gardner started out by setting up the parameters of the centers with a detailed list of what to do.

Students were then working in various centers around the room.  I heard lots of great mathematics conversations happening.  "Don't you think this is a great price?"  "This pattern is just like the other one."

The best part about this lesson is that the teacher was able to focus on a small group of students as they worked on the skill of the day-telling time to the minute.
