I am excited about this post! I have two things to share that I think are terrific tools for math learning.
First I have a giveaway for a math, music, and movement CD that has not even been released yet! How exciting is that? The fantastic Hap Palmer contacted me a few months ago to listen and review some new songs for a math CD.
I was totally star struck! My own 2 kids were Hap Palmer kids! We had the DVDs for home and car! This was pretty exciting news for me.
The coolest thing ever is that the CD is set to release May 15th, but I have two copies! See look!
{My buddy} Hap said I could give away one copy and keep one for my class! I am not going to use a rafflecopter or any of that fancy business. I am going to ask that you leave a comment and I will use the random number generator to pick a winner. I will announce the winner by Friday evening. (maybe even before!)
——–Second Great Math Tool!———
Another good buddy of mine, Dustin {The World Famous Teacher Tipster} has released a math app. I just had to get my hands on it. We tried it out in class today! It was so terrific I decided to make it one of our math “tubs”. Here’s a peek at two sweeties playing it. I had videoed them but blogger is saying, “Sorry, something must have gone wrong, we talked to Siri and she said we can’t show your video.” Or something along those lines….
If you don’t already follow the Teacher Tipster I really think you should! He CRACKS me up and he is FULL of fabulous teaching ideas in the form of funny videos. Be still my beating heart.
Ok so there ya have it:
Math and Technology
Songs and videos
Two terrific teaching tools!
Be sure to comment for the CD giveaway below!

I love Hap Palmer!

Hap Palmer is as old as I am….and I'm OLD! But I have one question…. What is subitizing? I don't know that I've ever used that word.

Patty
I was wondering the same thing about subitizing 🙂
I would love the Hap Palmer CD!! I used them years ago when I taught preschool (I believe they were records or cassettes then) and I use quite a few CD's in my class now (the kids love the rhythm instrument one). I'm so happy to see he has a new one! Carol [email protected]
That CD looks awesome. I listened to Hap Palmer when I was little and liked the music. I am sure these are great and I would love to win!

I JUST got promoted out of the library and into a Kindergarten classroom for next school year… I need materials so I hope I didn't miss out on the giveaway! Thanks for the heads up… I have enjoyed Teacher Tipster as well, but I didn't know that he created an app — wish it was for Android, too — maybe he'll do that next.
I love using music in my classroom to teach skills!
My classroom loves music! Anything to help us with Math is a super fantastic plus. I would love to win! Have a blessed few weeks to summer break!
Love to teach children to song …they always remember more when it is put to music! Love Hap Palmer and love the use of the kangaroo being an Aussie myself! Congrats on the new CD!
Music accelerates the brain 🙂 I would love to win this CD and share it with my students especially since math is the only subject I teach! Thank you so much…if I don't win it I'll be sure to buy it!!
I got to see Hap Palmer in concert 12 years ago. I would love to own his math CD!
