Great things keep happening at @LorewoodElem! A third grade teacher is using @nearpod for guided math instruction and another teacher is using @Google forms for a math review! #apposhine#edtech
Q6: I use nearpod and smartLab with iPads. Both allow me to assess student learning. Nearpod is great because you can go back in and see what the students did! Task cards on iPads are a simple but fun way to gauge student learning. #3rdGrade#demathchat
Q5: I love how technology can engage a learner who typically does not like to engage. Especially in 3rd grade, they love when we use our IPads to draw math solutions and share to smart board. #3rdGrade#demathchat
You have to just keep the faith that it’ll be worth it in the end, and eventually you will see growth or a change. Sometimes just venting to another teacher and know that others feel the same way at times helps!
A1: expect to be overwhelmed, and expect to spend a lot of time planning and prepping! The more you put into it the more your students will get out of it. #BeTheOne
@dr_costello This is basically the story of my life, mostly because we just always run out of time. I also like doing an exit ticket at the end of a lesson but then having it be the entrance ticket to the next days lesson where we continue or go over it.
A5: I totally “bookmark” math problems for students to go back to. This year we are fortunate enough to have math workbooks which make it easier. I often mark pages or questions from earlier in the unit for kids to go back to once were further into the unit. #elemmathchat
Q3: I infuse math across the day in every way that I can. When we calibrate our smartboard we skip count as I press the buttons to help with math fact fluency. Little things like this help students see that we can practice math pretty much at any time. #3rdGrade#elemmathchat
@sekiebler Agree!! Our ELA curriculum takes twice as long as our math now. We have a dedicated ELA RTI block, but not for math. Math fluency is just as important as reading fluency in my opinion. #elemmathchat
