Problem solving is SO important in other subjects besides math as well which is why I think this game is so beneficial! This will encourage students to really think about numbers and their place value. Loved this activity! #411MNSUF19
This activity Number Riddles (Tens and Ones) is a great way to help students practice place value. It also gets the students minds thinking! The base-ten blocks that are used in this activity are great representations to help students visualize! #411MNSUF19
This manipulative was introduced to me during the class period, but might be my new favorite! It is a great way for all students to engage, and so many different concepts and methods could be developed with this simple tool. Can't wait for this to be in my classroom! #411MNSUF19
So many activities and ways you can represent a number using a Renerek! Here we showed the number 17 in one way. This would be a great activity to do with students when working on place value & different ways to represent numbers! #411MNSUF19
The manipulative used for this activity were the snap cubes! This is a math game called 5 Tower, and it is used to get students counting in the classroom! It allows students to incorporate play into our high quality educational content! #411MNSUF19
What does this mean to you? Is it a test? A grade? Or is it growth and improvement? I believe passing a class and assessments should be a wide variety of concepts and methods. A great conversation starter and something to consider. #NCTMNash19#411MNSUF19
Math is more than just a worksheet. It is visuals and different methods that allows children to perform to the best of their ability, and see interpret math in different ways. #NCTMNash19#411MNSUF19
During reading instruction we teach kids to visualize. We must do this in math. When a child hears a quantity-they should “see” more than the numeral. #NCTMNash19@BuildMathMinds
I feel as though these questions were not asked and reflected on in the past. As future educators, it is our job to ensure students are confident and excited in math. These questions are a great start in creating equality and justice for our students. #NCTMNash19#411MNSUF19
Rather than sticking with classic base-ten blocks, switch it up and go BIG! This is a great way to have the class work as a group and engage when it comes to place value. What other objects could be used? Diversity in math is SO important! @teecha95@gfletchy#411MNSUF19
So this happened today..❤️ the connections students were able to make...the power of 10!! Thank you @gfletchy what a great idea and thank you @prosas003.. your students are the best!! @MREmavs
What a great hands-on activity for students to learn place value! Using every day objects or toys for the students is a great way to get students involved! @MrsDavisFRSD#411MNSUF19
Would you rather share the big chocolate bar(2.8 oz) (on the left) with 1 friend, or share the entire bag of mini chocolate chips (9 oz) (on the right) with 5 friends? @Jstevens009#WYRmath#411MNSUF19
Keep speaking your truth! As future teachers and current students, we are responsible for disrupting normalized patterns in our education system. #411MNSUF19#speakyourtruth
@DrPasadenaMath Keep doing it. Keep calling it out. Keep processing, reflecting, and shouting out your anger. Keep sharing. Keep connecting (with me and others). And let’s keep this conversation going so that out the allies and hopefully accomplices remember why we need them.
What a great read! This article shows us as educators how important it is to recognize and know the difference between equality and equity. A must read for sure. #411MNSUF19#educolor#cleartheair#distruptnorms
Disrupting this old pattern and way of seeing students is SO important as future educators. We need to see our students completely and encourage them to be who they are! #411MNSUF19#educolor
As future educators, we need to encourage our students to believe in themselves. "An important way to encourage growth mindset is by praising what students have done and learned, not them as a person" -@joboaler#mathmindset#mindsetmath#growthmindset#411MNSUF19
The emphasis in mathematics should be placed on the depth of understanding, not speed. Mathematical mindsets can flourish easier when there is actual understanding of concepts. #mathmindset#mindsetmath #growthmindset#411MNSUF19@joboale
Group work promotes high achievement in math. When students work together, they learn to value each other’s ideas and learning styles. This leads to a safe learning environment and confidence in the classroom. #mathmindset#mindsetmath#growthmindset#411MNSUF19@joboaler
As future teachers, we need to transform our mathematical teaching methods from one dimensional into multidimensional. We need to allow our students to question, fail, communicate, and have a growth mindset in math. #mathmindset#mindsetmath#growthmindset#411MNSUF19@joboaler
