@kimberlyPanto20 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hey Kimberley! I agree! It is important that we as educators understand others and that we reflect our thoughts first before making assumptions. @MrsGallardo1 @WrightMath314 #EDEL5200

@AllisonCheatwo1 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hey Allison! I really like your response and I completely agree! It is important that we first acknowledge that we have all of those things! It helps us to put our thoughts aside and try understanding others. @MrsGallardo1 @WrightMath314 #EDEL5200

@NicolasOrdaz3 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hey Nicolas!! That is great that you plan on educating yourself on other peoples beliefs and practices!! This gives you compassion and understanding of those people ! 🙂 @MrsGallardo1 @WrightMath314 #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I will create a safe & brave place for students by being nurturing and kind, but making sure they are being challenged & have confidence. @MrsGallardo1 @WrightMath314 #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I will self reflect my practices by asking myself whether my students understand what I am teaching them. I will also self reflect by asking myself how do my beliefs help my students? Lastly, I will self reflect by evaluating my thoughts. @MrsGallardo1 @WrightMath314 #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Having empathy means being able to feel what others are feeling, when they are going through something. It is important have empathy because you the ability to share the thoughts and feelings of someone else. @MrsGallardo1 @WrightMath314 #EDEL5200

@Jocelyngaribay6 @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 @Jocelyngaribay6 Hey Jocelyn! I think using manipulatives is a great way to use numbers flexibly because they can connect numbers to real life objects. These students will get enough practice with flexibility in math where eventuallythey won’t have to use manipulatives anymore

@Laura19608450 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler @laura19608450 Hi Laura! A game is a great fun and interactive way to get students to do their math work! I feel that Kahoot can put pressure on some students. I do feel that some students are embarrassed to have their name show up on the screen with a low score.

@NicolasOrdaz3 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler @NicolasOrdaz3 I agree! I think when students are given a time limit this often makes them feel nervous because they have to meet a deadline. I remember being a student and my hands getting clammy because I teachers made us finish multiplication tests in one minute

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Benefits of student participation is that students are able to learn different strategies with one another. They are better to explain to their peers how they can solve a problem more quickly and efficiently. #Fluencywithoutfear #EDEL5200

[Brittany A Ortiz @baortiz13]

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Alternatives to a timed math test could be that students work on the test untimed. Students can also work with partners on a test and both share their understanding and how they solved math with the class. #Fluencywithoutfear #EDEL5200

[Brittany A Ortiz @baortiz13]

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Some reasons for math anxiety are students have a fixed mindset and convinced themselves they are bad at math. Some students don’t like math because they think it is too hard. #Fluencywithoutfear #EDEL5200

[Brittany A Ortiz @baortiz13]

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler We can encourage students to use numbers flexibly by letting them choose how they would like to solve their math problems. We as educators can also show our students different ways to solve math problems. #Fluencywithoutfear

[Brittany A Ortiz @baortiz13]

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Memorization of math facts are unnecessary and damaging because students don’t get an understanding of what they are learning. Students also feel extra pressure when trying to remember math facts. #Fluencywithoutfear #EDEL5200
