My teacher-led presentations allow teachers to facilitate math lessons and provide practice without having to write problems on the board, which can take their attention away from the students. Teachers can circulate the room and assist students as they calculate, communicate, reason and use manipulatives to represent their mathematical thinking. Students enjoy the feedback that many of the presentations provide. Enjoy them and consider attending a workshop where I demonstrate how to use a variety of technology –including several other slideshows–to build understanding.
