In Jennifer Brokofsky's blog "Three Act Math Movies-Candy Colours" Ms. Brokofsky shows how to include fun while sticking to the curriculum. In the blog, Ms. Brokofsky shows the grade level and curriculums that will be met by watching her videos and going along with the suggested activity. In the videos, two siblings are told to equally share their skittles. The videos will leave you with questions to be answered. After taking the time to solve the problem, there is a solution video to show you if you were correct. In the comments, I told Ms. Brokofsky that I loved her idea of combining fun and work while sticking to the curriculum. I explained to Ms. Brokofsky that I would love to use her idea in my future classroom.



In Ms. Brokofsky's blog " Three Act Math Movies-Sharing Pizza" the curriculum for a 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade were met while watching a video and answering provided key questions. The videos were clips of children eating pizza and trying to solve a problem. This activity is a great way to teach fractions. Ms. Brokofsky includes what lesson that the videos are meeting and key questions for the class to answer after watching each clip. In the comments, I explained to Ms. Brokofsky that her lesson was a great way to meet the curriculum, have fun, and have an excuse for a class pizza party. I also told Ms. Brokofsky that this activity is an easy way to get your students attention and make them want to learn.
