Welcome to My Education Page:

Hi! My name is Brian Corcoran, I am currently a 5th grade In-Class Resource and LRC teacher in Egg Harbor Township,  New Jersey.  Welcome to my Education page.  I hope it will serve as a resource for students and fellow teachers who are looking for additional support with their studies or in their classrooms.  I have been teaching for 9 years, and over that time I have picked up some fun, interesting, engaging, (insert cool adjective here), online resources and strategies.  Using web technology is an important aspect of my instruction and I try to implement it effectively on a daily basis.  If you have any ideas or suggestions you would like me to include on my page just let me know.  Here is a link to my database of favorite math web resources:http://guest.portaportal.com/bricorc

Create a Virtual You!

Below you'll see a picture of the virtual Mr. C.  Using sites such as GoAnimate.com and Voki, you can create your own avatar, giving it voice and personality.  I've used these avatars to introduce lessons, objectives, and to respond to questions.   Feel free to give the virtual you a makeover and add your own style and voice.

MATH BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP  (Jan. 31)

As a tune-up for the NFL Superbowl, the students will perform in a superbowl event of their own known as the, "MATH BOWL."  Students will answer four quarters worth of intense Football related Math word problems, simulating the risk/reward nature of an NFL football game. Students will have to draw upon all the Math knowledge they've attained this year, in hopes of gaining enough yards to reach the endzone and achieve MATH BOWL glory!
