"Jump On It"- Circles

I was recently able to attend the KCM Math Conference in Lexington, KY. The information learned at the conference was invaluable and I'm so thankful for the opportunity!

One of the things we learned was how to use pop culture more in our everyday lessons. A suggestions was showing the following clip and then learning about circles and the measurement of circles. Watch the following video from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7h-2UmHuxQ
and then check out our kids and what we learned this week. I guarantee any student in Studio 214 could tell you how many degrees are in a circle- they may even break out in a flash mob!
