@missmjung@ElizabethMenc18@WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1 I love that you mentioned collaboration between teachers. I firmly believe that is the most effective learn about different methods of teaching. Each teacher has had different experiences. By sharing the experiences, we can build a team and know of one another ☺️
@WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1 We can work together incorporating students’ families and the community. Promoting unity and involvement on important topics regarding student cultures, world music events, art shows and festivals. Which will be fun & engaging for students. Also a great way to promote kindness.
@TovarAlexsus@WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1 Hi there! Yes I agree, this is such a special quality to have as a teacher. Understanding students feelings and emotions will help build relationships. This will help the student feel safe and connected to their teacher and classroom environment☺️
@WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1 To have empathy means to truly understand someone’s emotions. As teacher this crucial. A teacher should want to understand their students. By doing so it will help to build relations with them. Understand their behavior patterns, and what problems they may face.
@gelsv11 @WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1 Hi there! I strongly agree that as teachers, we should listen to our students. A simple “how do you feel today” can mean so much to a student. Many students may not get asked by anyone at home. It will allow them to express themselves. Nicely done!
@WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1 As teachers, we can advocate for our students by listening to them. Asking students how they feel can mean so much. Also, standing up for them not just from other students but by staff. Most importantly, ensure that students' needs are met.
Hello friends, I’m looking for a loving home for this cuddling snowshoe. I would much rather her go to a home than a shelter. Please share with your feline loving friends💛
@amarie88__@WrightMath314@joboaler@MrsGallardo1 Hi beautiful! YES YES! I love it"memorization can get in the of learning" it's very true. It is so sad when you ask students why they think that's the correct answer, & they say I don't know. I would much rather spend extra time on a problem than have students just memorize it.
@WrightMath314@joboaler@MrsGallardo1 If a student memorizes math facts, the student isn't learning a true math concept, which is damaging because each math problem is designed to build on the next. For Ex: Add, Multi, Divi are all related & coincide. Memorization will only hurt kind in the long run & causes anxiety.
@TovarAlexsus@WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1@joboaler Hi there! I really like your post; I couldn't have said it better myself. I love how you can see kids really taking in the math concept. Especially when they share their own reasoning! It's my absolute favorite to learn from them and grow from their perspectives.
@WrightMath314@joboaler@MrsGallardo1 Students will benefit because "Number Talks" helps develop a sense of conceptual understanding, various ways of approaching/ solving a problem. This approach will show a class to learn math using different strategies rather than by memorization.
@gelsv11 @WrightMath314@MrsGallardo1@joboaler Hi there! I agree. I believe students feel the most anxiety and pressure when they see classmates finishing before they have. This is where the whole "you're not a math person" ideal comes from. Students will believe they aren't good enough for math because of the timed exams.
@WrightMath314@joboaler@MrsGallardo1 Reasons for math anxiety can involve students being told they are a "not a Math person" when they don't understand a concept, and most believe it. Also, students are tested on how much material they have memorized, and on top of that, they are timed, which pressures students
