Question for @gregtangmath. We are rocking using number nicknames for two digit numbers. How would you do number nicknames for three digit number? Use the label of hundreds?
#retweettues#r9ttc. Great reminder...teaching is not about our content but about the privilege of making a difference to one kid. Huge honor but huge responsibility. https://t.co/cvCUadm1es
Teachers need a growth mindset, too! “If you haven’t failed in the classroom lately, you aren’t pushing the envelope far enough. “Safe” lessons are a recipe for mediocrity at best.” From Dave Burgess’s book Teach Like a Pirate @burgessdave#tlap
While probably not my fav while in his class, most thankful to be in Mr. Greg Kissel’s Govt. & American History classes. He was the teacher that most prepared me for college, challenged us to read about current events and inspired us to change the world. #r9ttc#badpuns
Love having the opportunity to visit different buildings and classrooms. Carthage teachers are determined to do the best for their students and I humbled that I am able to hopefully help. #r9ttc
I love spending time in Kindergarten classrooms at Steadley and Pleasant Valley. Those ladies are amazing!! In complete awe of how much their students grow in a year!!! They are magical being able to combine fun with learning. I am always exhausted just when I visit. #r9ttc
Love this book because not only does it explain what works in math instruction but has the science/research behind why it works. Great videos to demonstrate effective practices. There is also “Visible Learning for Literacy” #r9ttc
Do kids need to practice math at home? Yes! Automaticity with single-digit addition facts is a grade 2 standard. Automaticity with single-digit multiplication facts is a grade 3 standard. The secret? Great strategies and lots of fun and engaging practice! https://t.co/qfwaHIPiYb
Why I teach...getting to be a part of changing a kid’s attitude from “I can’t do math” to “I love math” even when they get the wrong answers! #growthmindset#r9ttc
