Using Sign Language with Kids in Upper Grades

I subbed in a 4th grade class last week and found a few situations where sign language could be appropriate.  I think about math.  Why couldn't you incorporate sign language numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs and find a way to help kids remember the phrase "Factor Fireworks"?  Or when working with story problems sign "car", or "teacher", or any other important word in the story problem?  Any visual as well as oral help would only boost the ways you are teaching your students!

I found this video on youtube and thought it would be of some help!  Enjoy
