Flipped
Classroom

Teachers are letting the

students use their own tools
and thinking when it comes
to number senses. The
students are given the
option to pick sounds that
will help them better
understand numbers and
how they can be added,
subtracted, divided, or
multiplied.

To make it seem a little

less tedious you could
time the students and
see how fast they can
listen to the sound and
then complete the
problems.

I would like the

students to brainstorm
at home what they feel
the best sound would
be for each number.I
then would want them
to write it down and
bring it in class the
next day.

Mathematics
1. Number Sense,
Properties, and
Operations

Teachers will have

the students create
a sound scape that
will connect a
sound with a
number.
1,3, 4, & 5
Teachers will then
have their students
listen to the sounds
and use them to
help with a
worksheet.
1,3, 4, & 5

Students will connect

a different sound
with each number so
when they hear that
particular sound they
are able to notice
what number it is.
1,2,4,5,&6
Students then will
complete a
worksheet where
they will have to
listen to sounds and
based on those
sounds they will write
the number followed
by adding or
subtracting those
numbers sounds they
heard.
1,2,4,5,&6

Students are creating a

new method on how to
use sound help them
better understand
numbers or how to work
with them.
Remember, Apply, and

2. Patterns, Functions,
and Algebraic
Structures

3. Analysis, Statistics,
and Probability

Teachers will have

students create
sound checks on
how pattern form
1&3
Teachers will have
the students take
the numbers that
they have already
corresponded with
sounds and create
an algebraic
structure with.
1,3,4,&5

Teachers will have

their students create
a soundscape that
will help them better
understand how the
statistics of age
occurs within a
graph.

Students will then

take these
soundscape and
create a pattern of
their own where they
are then able to post
it on their person
blog so everyone else
in the class is able to
see it.
1,4,5,&6
Students will then
share their algebraic
structure where other
students are to
complete the
problem.
1,4,5,&6

Students will use this

soundscape to help
them better
understand how
statistics work within a
graph

Students are using sound

as a tool to better
understand how algebraic
structures and patterns
work.
Remember, Apply, and
Create

Students are interpreting

the graph to better
understand how it can
show statistics.

Teachers are letting the

students choose how they
want to learn as well letting
them set the pace. The
sound checks let each
student be creative and
learn themselves instead of
being drilled by tons of
worksheets.

The decoding of the

soundscapes will the
game within itself.

Students are to pick a

partner within the
classroom where they
then will take either
the soundscape for the
pattern or algebraic
structure and is to
decode the it for
homework.

Teachers can use

soundscapes in this instance
to help them teach
statistics. This is a new
innovative way to show how
we can use graphs to inter
prate data.

Like other examples we

can have the students
make a game out of
guess what the
numbers is based on
the sound.

Students are to explore

graphs better while
using the soundscape to
help them along the
way.

Teachers are finding a new

creative way to use
soundscapes to help their
students to understand
numeral concepts better.

There is no game that

really corresponds with
how I want these
students to understand
geometric standards.

Students are to solidify

their knowledge even
more and practice
these numbers at
home.

4. Shape, Dimension,
and Geometric
Relationships

Teachers can use

soundscapes to
help teach the
three different
type of triangles
there are in
geometry.
3,4,&5
Teachers can use
sound scales to
label graphs
instead of actual
numbers so they
can have the
students familiarize
themselves with
the sounds.

Students can use the

sound scape to
reference back to
when they are to
complete their
homework on
geometric problems.
3&4
Students will be able
to read graphs that
have no numbers at
all but just sounds.
This will help them
engrain the numbers
in their head as well
how they can be
used.

Students are using

previous knowledge to be
able to help them better
understand how other
math functions work. This
is preparing the student
that may struggle with
just looking at how to use
numbers.

Remember, Apply

Teachers are using different

tools other than the original
power points, documents,
or videos to help their
students grasp a certain
concept.

With the students

having to try to guess
the soundscape, the
activity can be fun and
a collaborative process.

new concept to help
them further their
education in soundscapes
and understanding writing
within picture books.

Teachers are using a new

source to help the students
retain information other
than handing worksheets
out.

The best part of the

less is letting the
students get to be
creative and let them
choose the path they
would like to take to
learn about reading
concepts.

Students are to work on

their soundscapes at
home so they are ready
to present it in front of
the class.

Teachers are using

soundscapes to help them
strengthen the areas of
learning that they may
struggle with.

Reflection: To start off, I feel as though creating a matrix for soundscapes was very difficult and almost impossible in some cases. There were some
areas that I knew right away what I want to do and other areas that I felt I had to dig deep to even find an activity. For example, in the math area I

really struggled to come up with two fun and creative ideas to use soundscapes. Out of the whole semester I feel as though out the semester the
matrixes had gotten harder to create. It was very difficult to keep the ideas fresh and not receptive cause theres really only so many uses you can do
with soundscapes. However, I did come up with some ideas that I would like to use within my classroom. For, example I think they are a useful
resource to use with weather and history, which could make a fun activity for the students. I really am starting to get a hang of how to create these
matrixes and have them be a useful tool for my future classroom.
