COMICS AND MATH MERGE: AN ELEMENTARY LESSON PLAN PRESENTATION


By Chris Wilson
Editor-in-Geek

A few weeks ago the Regional Consortium for Education and Technology –– Southwest (RCET-SW) contacted me about presenting my lesson plan on comics, math and technology. This is an exciting opportunity to promote comics to a larger audience and to show grade level teachers how to use comics to support the state and national standards.

The workshop focuses on a single lesson plan to teach elementary state math standards using a comic book and technology. Students will explore their own strategies for approaching math concepts, enhance Communication Arts and ISTE standards by reading the comic electronically, engage in cooperative learning and use technology to demonstrate their learning. Students will be assessed in groups and individually.
