Modeling Books

 Modeling Books

This year Mr. Bach is conducting a trial with his modeling books to see if the learning of new strategies is increased by using large portable flipchart type modeling books. To the left and below are 3 examples for how they can be used to model maths strategies and concepts and for reading/writing for character descriptions. Hopefully a group of children will be able to take the books away, after a lesson on the mat, and use the charts as they complete book work at their tables. Modeling books can also be referred back to at any time for past learning and for examples to help new learning. The sheer size  of the books(covering the whole whiteboard on the work table) and completely flat nature of the books has proved very beneficial so far with group work, and the children's ability to understand new ideas and strategies.
