4/5 square

Can you post that website of riddles and songs? That sounds fun.
I just started this today: I made a booklet for each student. We are starting geometry and there are alot of terms. So for each term we are doing the following: I made a template for the booklet. It goes off of the 4 square method for writing if you have seen that.
Anyway, take a piece of paper and cut it into 4 equal squares. In the middle draw another square. This is where you put the word you want to define. So for example, we used the word point. Each box they have to do something different. One box they will sketch | |
the word. One box they will write the definition in their own words. One box they will list example of the word. So for point the said things like a period, a dot in the letter eye. The last box is non examples. They list things that are similiar to the word but something makes them different. So my kids came up with the sun and an ornament. Since both are round but they are not flat and they are not on a line.
I teach 2nd graders so I am modeling this with them right now. I am hoping they will be able to do this on their own by the end of the chapter.
