I am a 4 digit number. My 1st digit is of no use as I still remain the same without it. My 2nd and 3rd digits are mirror images. My 4th digit is half of the 2nd. Can you guess the number?

A 'math language routine' refers to a structured but adaptable format for amplifying, assessing, and developing students' language. Using models is a great way to use routines to help students develop math fluency. #dsumath@kevinsmithsd
I want to give consistent, descriptive feedback to my students so that they are able to identify their strengths and areas they need to improve on. Knowing what and how they can improve on will encourage them to advance their learning. @kevinsmithsd#dsumath
A6: Encourage, support, and communicating with students is how I'd want to motivate my students. I would foster their strengths by giving them activities that engage their strengths. #tlap#dsu360
A4: Think of the classroom like a recipe. We need all of the students for the recipe to turn out right. We can emphasize that all students contribute important strengths to the classroom culture. Team challenges are a great way to identify different personalities. #tlap#dsu360
A2: We should encourage students to be risk takers. We should approach mistakes as a learning opportunity. Focus on learning and not a grade! #tlap#dsu360
A1: My third grade teacher was amazing. She took the time to get to know us so well and that relationship is what I valued. I don't remember her having extraordinary teaching skills, but her ability to connect with the students helped us be successful learners. #tlap#dsu360
