@jsuastegui_7 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hi Jennifer! I really like how you mentioned building a positive relationship with not only students but their parents. You can get so much information about a student from their family and having that communication will help in reinforcing a home-school relationship.

@cmitchell231 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hi Christine, I really like your response! Teachers can show empathy in so many ways. Our students knowing and understanding that we care for them and that we want them all to succeed creates a positive learning environment and community within a classroom.

@Ms_Neyda @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hi Neyda! I agree, simply listening to students goes a long way. Getting to know your students and their needs allows you to make educated choices and fully support them.

Q3:A3 I will create a safe and brave space for all students by creating a community within my classroom where all students know their voice & feelings matter. I will set high expectations for them and always support them.

Q2:A2 To have empathy means to be understanding of another person's feelings and try to relate to what they are going through. Empathy allows teachers to show students that they care about them, resulting in building positive relationships with them.

Q1:A1 We can be advocates for our students by listening to them, understanding their needs, and always supporting them. By creating a safe, support, inclusive learning environment where all students can thrive.

@jsuastegui_7 @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Great point! When students practice number sense to learn their math facts they aren't just memorizing them, they are understanding them and building connections!

[Victoria Flores @floresviic]

@aylinloaiza2 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Yes! The pressure and anxiety can cause students to believe that they are not good at math and this belief can follow them through their education.

@missmjung @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler I love that you mentioned class discussions! Number talks are a great way for students to share and learn from each other

[Victoria Flores @floresviic]

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 The memorization of math facts is “unnecessary and damaging” because it doesn't allow students to practice number sense. When memorizing math facts without using number sense students are limited and more prone to errors. #fluencywithoutfear #EDEL5200

[Victoria Flores @floresviic]

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Math anxiety can be caused from the pressure students feel to quickly finish timed tests and memorize math facts. If students don’t finish their test or answer quickly they get discouraged and turn away from mathematics. #fluencywithoutfear #EDEL5200

[Hilda Wright @WrightMath314]

Q5: What are some of the benefits of student participation in “Number Talks”? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

[Victoria Flores @floresviic]

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Number talks allow for students to learn from each other and understand that there are many different strategies they can use to solve a math problem. Students are practicing mental math and developing math sense! #fluencywithoutfear #EDEL5200

@SoniaHolguin3 @teachsci8 Hi Sonia! I really liked how you mentioned allowing students to choose what topics they want to research. By do this students take ownership of their project and will be more interested in learning more about their topic #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @doctor2pi

@Shaidee12 @teachsci8 Hi Shaidee! I agree that introducing different tools and allowing students to use them promotes creativity and producing with technology. Flipgrid, Prezi, Google Slides are great and easy to use when creating a presentation! #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @doctor2pi

[Victoria Flores @floresviic]

@teachsci8 A4: We can promote children publishing and producing with technology by having assignments/projects were students create powerpoints, website, or videos. We should introduce different technology and allow students to be creative. #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @doctor2pi

@VictoriaAnnDF @Ststansberry @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @tom_karnes @Duncannedd Technology definitely allows people to contribute when it best works for them. It also makes communicating and sharing easier and quicker! #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @doctor2pi

[Victoria Flores @floresviic]

@HeatherBeth01 @Ststansberry @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @tom_karnes @Duncannedd Twitter is such a great example of this ! There are so many educators on Twitter who share strategies, sources, and tips. #edchat is a weekly educational chat that educators can participate in. #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @doctor2pi

[Victoria Flores @floresviic]

@Ststansberry @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @tom_karnes @Duncannedd Technology allows students to collaborate on projects. Google Docs/Slides is a great example! Students can edit the shared doc at the same time. Educators are able to communicate by using different resources to share & learn from each other. #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200 @doctor2pi
