Q.2 Learning math is not always about how fast you do a task even though students always want to complete everything quickly. Accuracy is more important so students can fully comprehend the content.
In Stacey Roshan’s book “Tech With Heart”, she states that “slow isn’t the opposite of smart.”
Q2: What are your thoughts on speed vs. accuracy in learning mathematics? And...go!

A1: It is important to promote independence in mathematics by having students choose math topics and agency. Also, students can solve problems in their own way justifying their answers. @YehCathery
TODOS mentions the importance of creating accessible problem solving word problems for students. During this workshop they demonstrated the importance of creating a word problem that is engaging and challenging. However, making it comprehensible for students
Cupcakes are my favorite dessert because they are yummy and the perfect size. 😍 If I have 5 cupcakes and I need to share them with 8 of my family members how will I divide them for it to be equal? #EDUC568 @YehCathery
My brother bought one cookie and he ate 1/4 of it. My 6 cousins were over that day and we had to share the rest of the cookie. How would we split the cookie fairly? 🧐 #EDUC568 @YehCathery
I am super excited to share my first ever Math talk with my second graders! We went on a virtual field trip to a pumpkin patch! 🎃 #EDUC568 @YehCathery https://t.co/HlcBdHFZ3O
I revised my slides on my two-step word problem. This type of problem is a part-part-whole (part unknown). I included two new student’s strategies, but always open to more ways. The more the merrier. 😊🎃 #EDUC568

According to Carpenter, “doing what comes naturally” is aligned with UDL principles because it gives students many options of solving a problem and thinking in their own way. #EDUC568 @YehCathery
Hello everyone! Here’s a JUICY two-digit addition word problem for 2nd graders with an embedded Nearpod activity! https://t.co/Lnad7zCwTU #EDUC568#ChapmanCES @YehCathery
Today, I created my first video using a rekenrek! It was so much fun! I demonstrated how to use it and solved a 2nd grade word problem. Here is the link to the video https://t.co/MMkQiXvUD1 #EDUC568 @YehCathery
I found this too be helpful for teachers to think of ways to get parental involvement at home with mathematics. Below are examples you can ask your students to solve with their families. #EDUC568 @YehCathery
As I end my first masters class I reflect back on the first day thinking “What did I get myself into?” “I can’t do this!” But today @YehCathery Dr. Yeh touched my heart and reassured me I am meant to be a teacher. You are amazing Dr. Yeh and thank you for everything. ❤️
One of my best learning moments has definitely been this semester in my Masters program. I learned how important it is to have diversity and inclusivity in my classroom. Also, having my future students have a choice in their learning. #OrEdChat
