This is a great chart to use throughout our level III’s and future student teaching! The only way we’ll be able to continue to develop our practices and be lifelong learners is through self reflection.

"Reflection is so important for growth," says educator Megan. That's why she uses this Glow & Grow chart to inspire Ss, colleagues – and herself! ☀️🌱

I love this use of manipulative’s as it helps children to see that they can think about and represent numbers in many different ways! Overall, this helps students develop a more critical number sense and understand why math works!

We can show numbers in different ways! #number #math #manipulatives

I came across this poster and think it’s fantastic! Math talk doesn’t always have to be verbal. Instead, students and teachers can initiate math talk through hand signals and cues! A great math talk move!

This would be a fantastic math routine to utilize in the classroom! Similar to Which one Doesn’t Belong, students are motivated to engage in math talk and construct viable arguments that support their answer.

Let’s play “I spy” - but you can’t say 124.

I’ll go first. I spy 62. Do you see it? (I used all the blocks!)

Your turn.

I love this lesson as I can see students working hands on and engaging in Illustrative Math’s problem-based approach. This is going to help them develop a much more conceptual understanding of the content! Also, this lesson is great as it aligns directly to the standards!

I love this, as every student is going to have an opportunity to feel represented and heard within this classroom. Also, by learning about music and dance from different cultures, a wider range of inclusion and acceptance is promoted!

[Alyssa Smith @alyssa_smithsd]

I love this activity and the lesson this educator is teaching. Often, our students develop anxiety or fear of making mistakes. This activity helps children to realize that mistakes are valuable, and should be celebrated! Mistakes help us to learn and grow!
