We need to talk about why students forget so much of what they learn.

Endless exercises, worked examples & precise definitions aren't enough.

So, what’s missing?

REASONING

It's the glue that holds maths learning together.

Here are 5 strategies I've found invaluable for Ss-

@offgridteacher I volunteer at a dog shelter and one of things they realized during the pandemic was how much stress it caused for animals to have lots of people to walk through the kennels so they changed to an appointment strategy.

@offgridteacher I had one who did some very bad forgery on it before it went home.

My heart is happy. Watching kids excitedly run to our house. Tell me that they come every year and it’s their favorite house. Hold books up to their chest and say that we always have what they want. Being able to give out books written by friends.😭💗 #Halloween2022

@CallMeMoprah Same thing for me! Today is day 5 for me. Been getting a lot of reading in.

@VictoriaTheTech My mom started teaching our computer/typing classes in my elementary school. 15 minutes of Mavis Beacon and 15 minutes or Oregon Trail or Number Crunchers in the computer lab full of apple lle

@k8roulette2 This is someone who just a wants to make others mad for no reason! His responses on that thread were so disconnected.

@Mr_Rablin I always start by listening to what families concerns are and some of their favorite things!

@teacher2teacher Read a book, take a couple deep breaths, tell 3 different people “you are a fantastic person”

And it's always a good idea to alternate between presenting information and having students do something with the information. This allows you to hold attention and check for understanding so you can re-explain if needed. Do this at a perky pace. 7/

What are your best resources for science of reading? I would love people to follow, books, articles. I know I need to do better for kids. Thank you for your help.

@MoniseLSeward @JustLB Measurement tends to be the last unit of the year and is squeezed in before testing so I wouldn’t be surprised if rulers aren’t used by teachers. Also so many textbooks just have pictures of rulers that students identify instead of the real thing.

@epdingus What a fun way do to this!

[Andrea D @msdintheclass]

@TheWeirdTeacher @GotMathHelp @Sneffleupagus At 5th grade level I thinks it’s really useful as many kids get stuck on basic multiplication facts when we’re trying to teach multi-step processes to solve multi-digit x. It’s a tool and helps them move forward while they continue learning basic facts.
