Along with
math and science, I also teach a semester health class for sixth graders.
Whenever possible, I try to incorporate math skills into our health
lessons. Last year, our school started using My Big Campus, a curriculum
management system. (If you haven't tried it, you should check it
out. Best part, it's free!) We have been discussing healthy eating
in class and I assigned them a bundle I had created on Healthy Eating. A
bundle in MBC is like a lesson that can include videos, documents, websites, and other materials that are bundled
together all in one place.

In the
bundle, students had a couple of videos to watch. There was an
assignment for them to survey five people to find out what types of food they
had eaten that day for lunch. Students used this information to create a
bar graph to display their data. They took pictures of their bar graphs
and uploaded them to the class discussion board in MBC.
I really like
using the MBC discussion board and bundles together. It allows me to
bundle information in one place and let my students
interact with one another in a discussion online. Communicating with
classmates online is a skill that will serve them well if they ever take online
classes, which is probably something that most of my students will do at
some point in their education.
