Math Rotation 1

We had a great first week together last week.  I am very excited about the year ahead!  The students at SCE, Edgewood, and HK are energetic and enthusiastic!

Last week we talked about LEAD rules, played with math manipulatives, engaged in number talk/quick image conversations, listened to stories, gathered some data, and worked on team building tasks.  Here are a few pics from the week.  Ask your 3rd-5th grader about the "shoe tower" task.

LEAD Math

My name is Christie Crigger and I will be your child's LEAD Math teacher this

year.  I have been teaching for sixteen years.  I am married to Jeremy Crigger.

We have a daughter, Caroline, who is in the 3rd grade at Shades Cahaba.


Mathematics is my passion; I am committed to helping each one of my students

develop a love, respect, and appreciation for mathematical concepts.  Students will

focus on understanding the relationships between numbers and finding a variety of

ways to solve a problem. They will play games, explore tools, and engage in

meaningful conversations.  This will help to create critical thinkers who can solve

real-world problems.


I am very excited to have the opportunity to teach at all three Homewood Elementary schools and looking forward to a fantastic year!  If I can be of any assistance to you, please email me at ccrigger@homewood.k12.al.us.
