@sinayserrano @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Exactly, educating ourselves and others is a good way to demonstrate self growth. We can take what we learn and eliminate any biases that would affect students.

@NancyBolanos8 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I agree it is always best creating a place where students can safely speak their mind without judgement.

[Jennifer Suastegui @jsuastegui_7]

@Josh02367051 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I agree there are kids who don't have a positive role model to look up to so the best thing we could do is support them as much as we can.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 To create a safe and brave space I will make a positive connection with students and parents, I will encourage students to express themselves, set high expectations, and overall create a positive learning environment.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 To have empathy means you understand others and you are able to put yourself in their shoes. I think it important to be empathetic because in your class their will be kids with many backgrounds and we need to show them that we are there for them regardless of anything.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 We can be advocates for students by listening, supporting, creating long term goals for them, and believing in them.

@LaurenLlarena @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Games are a great way to get students engaged! I have been in classes before where math games were used to review and the kids love it. Collaboration is always great to share strategies and ideas.

[Jennifer Suastegui @jsuastegui_7]

@SuzanneArronte @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Yes, when students are in a safe environment they are more likely to participate and share their ideas creating more strategies for students to follow and move away from just memorizing facts.

[Jennifer Suastegui @jsuastegui_7]

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Some alternatives to timed math tests can include creating class games like bingo, jeopardy, or Kahoot. Students can solve a problem using Flipgrid. Exit tickets can be used to gain an understanding of what students have learned.

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 To encourage number flexibility we can have number talks, have students use manipulatives, or introduce the CRA model. It's also important to encourage and have students figure out what concepts work for them.

[Jennifer Suastegui @jsuastegui_7]

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Memorization is "unnecessary and damaging" because students aren't building a connection with the math. Understanding math and introducing strategies to solve a problem will help them gain number sense which will benefit them in the long run.

[Jennifer Suastegui @jsuastegui_7]

@jduran2605 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler I agree, memorization isn't easy for everyone that's why it's important to introduce students to different math strategies. I think finding alternatives to timed testing like class games can reduce math anxiety.
