Drama Script & Name Tags to Teach Math Operations: "The 4 Strange Brothers"
This is a dramatized version of a story that famous educator Maria Montessori created. It was recorded by Michael J. Dorer in his 2017 book, The Deep Well of Time.

Perimeter, Area, and Volume - Oh My! - Small Group Reader's Theater for Math
This is a small group reader's theater. I use this script to introduce perimeter, area, and volume as well as to review the subject with my students. It was written for four students. The idea of this reader's theater is to reinforce the formulas used to find each of the equations as well as to teach and practice the language involved. It is just one more way to tie Language Arts together with Math. Math has a language all its own and it is very important to find ways to practice it and use it

There are 17 speaking parts, and many of them are non-gender specific! My kids had a great time doing this play. I used gummy worms and bugs for a fun effect! We performed for the parents and they really enjoyed it.
