Does anyone have any ideas how to approach her? Are there any videos that might open her eyes to why learning basic math is advantageous? Ideas for ways to help her learn addition, etc.? She is probably embarrassed but she is bright and is in an honor's level theater class.
I have some advanced math students in 4th grade. I cannot put them into the 5th grade math class. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding materials to keep them challenged. I use ALEKS, but need other engaging materials.
My question is simple. Why was this never mentioned at any point throughout my education? Geometry was my best class in mathematics, and this incredibly basic yet surreal knowledge could have changed not only my views on math, but public education and the world at large.
So? Why the stony silence? Why endless common core sequences and no fibonacci sequences? Why is this simple wisdom not public knowledge? Somebody, please help me put this into perspective. I see no answer that makes sense other than theories of conspiracy. Unless, of course, the pros can tell me otherwise.
Thanks for considering this. I look forward to all responses!
After a decade in the real world, I'm getting my math teacher licensure. I just took my first practice PRAXIS II math test, and passed, but I was well short of the 169 needed for a "recognition of excellence". I imagine that with a few weeks of dedicated study, I could get myself back up to that level, but would my time be better spent elsewhwere? Do school districts care about ROEs?
I find this particularly useful as students who usually enjoy maths, are encouraged to win. Whilst other students who do not enjoy Maths are rallied by the competition.
I actually find having groups with Maths cards encourages participation from all students as no student feels left out by being not good at maths.
Task cards are a great option for reinforcing skills and offering enrichment because unlike worksheets, they can be used again and again. You can also make your own to target specific areas of Mathematics. Print on card stock, ideally in colour, black and white will also work for cheaper options. A good idea is to laminate them, they will last for years. You can set them up at a centre of your classroom or decorate the classroom using the cards. Good Luck
Teachers.Net teachers listed 3 (sometimes more) attributes of a great principal. (We were especially struck by the 2 shortest entries, those posted after "Mutual respect and trust needs to be nurtured," about 3/4 of the way down the page.)
"Here’s what I learned from our Spanish-speaking ELL students, and here are the suggestions I will be passing on to content-area teachers about what they can do to help ELL students learn English and learn their content. (And by the way, these ideas will help everyone in the room. There’s nothing strictly ELL about them.)"
