@Michellelorene1 I try to connect everything I can back to my students lives. When I am giving them a problem I use a student in our class’s name and then I make the subject of the problem something I know that child likes. I will also try to do this when teaching geometry.

@MsLee70686573 @YeseniaCortes01 My favorite part of class dojo is that the students are held accountable for their actions since they can see everything the did well or struggled with behavior wise.

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@MsLee70686573 @YeseniaCortes01 We also do all the things you mentioned! The class dojo is really nice for communicating quickly and efficiently with parents about anything! And the parents can already see why a student lost or gained a point without asking us which honestly makes our lives easier.

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@YeseniaCortes01 We ask the parents to help the students with Khan Academy online at home! This lets the parents see what we are doing in class and creates some continuity between home and school!

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@AshleyLanghals @AdobeSpark We always model how to play the the math games during our math centers. It makes sure the students are practicing the skill we want them to be learning. It also leads to less questioning and smoother transitions!

Q18: In your placements or personal schooling do you notice the use of memorization, explicit strategy instruction or guided invention for teaching basic facts? Is it all one strategy or a mixture, is it effective? #osuelemmath

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@TheMissHirsch @MissTrigg_Cbus That is something I would like to incorporate into my classroom more. Right now my ct doesn’t give them any manipulatives, she just tells them to use their fingers and draw but some children need more than that!!

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@MissTrigg_Cbus The most important way to create equity in a classroom is to allow time and space to explain how they got their answers their thinking may be different than mine It’s important to be multi modal with resources Every kid needs a different manipulative to work with#osuelemmath

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@ClovettaC @TheMissHirsch I love the way you add it into your daily life curriculum, then the children don’t realize how much they are learning during everyday events!

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@TheMissHirsch We started learning division recently and we draw how many groups we have first and then put one in each group until we count to the number in our equation and then count how many are in each group to get our final number #osuelemmath

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@AnnRoFlo @MissMantel I implement this in my classroom now, I think it is really important because it gives all methods importance and validity.

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@MissMantel You could use this strategy when being engineers Having students build something then use the compare and connect method to figure out how they could improve what they built Multiple groups could discuss the sims and diff between them to find out what would work best#osuelemmath

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@missedwards321 @TeachWithMissA Love this idea! I often try to help a student figure out a problem by drawing out what the numbers represented in the equation are in base ten blocks (we do a lot with base tens in third grade).

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@TeachWithMissA Honestly the biggest math strategy I see in my classroom is using your fingers!We actually encourage the students to do it when they can’t do the mental math I think it makes them realize that they are capable of gettimg the answers easily if they use their resources #osuelemmath

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@MissTrigg_Cbus I believe that after learning the basic math skills it is important for students to understand how to work a calculator and when in math you should use it. If we make children afraid of calculators they will never appreciate math later on in life when it is all calculator based.

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@Miss_Morris7 @miss_furno I still count on my fingers when I am working with the kids in my placement. For some children it can be really important to see adults doing it so they know that it is a supported way of doing math. If you get the answer it doesn’t matter how you got there.

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@miss_furno A math myth I have encountered in my placement is that there is only one way to get an answer. My CT and I try really hard to ask for multiple ways of work for one single answer to prove that there are many ways of getting an answer and that every way is supported #osuelemmath

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@MissHampton204 @Mr_MullCbus This was really hard for me as a student because I’m not confident in math. I wish a teacher would have done this for me because I needed to be told my ideas and ways of working were still important. I truly believe it would have changed how I felt about math as an adult.

[Delaney Mathews @DelaneyMathews1]

@TheMissHirsch @missnungester I love this because it makes the students feel like their opinion is appreciated and important in the classroom. This can be really important in math because most students do feel reserved in that area and you are reassuring them.
