Technology in the Classroom

by Kayla

Sep 2, 2013

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some new or fun technology to help teach a middle school (or high school) math class? With all of the technology we have around us, is there anything you find particularly useful or fun for your students? Thanks!

Touch points/math

by Robert L

Sep 13, 2013

Can somebody please explain touch points/math to me? I just started my internship in second grade, the kids were counting coins. I walked up to them and asked what they were doing, they said, "this is how we count money." I was like, "Well... how do you know where to put the dots?" They said, "Right there. They're there."

A quarter had 5 ...See More

Is there anyone that uses the Carnegie math series for sixth grade? My district purchased it for this year but didn't purchase anything but the student books and teacher manuals. I need ideas for how to use this curriculum and use it in 50 minute periods. Do you have any ideas?

Math Teacher VA My district asked us to preview one of the books for an extra resource. I have been using some of the problems in one of my 7th grade Algebra 1 courses. I love the problems, and it really makes the kids think! What I have done when doing these lessons, is go through problem or the whole section of problems and then make a graphic organizer or folda...See More

Any middle school teachers using on core math workbooks

by Nneedle879

Sep 27, 2013

I'm just curious what you think of them. This is my first year using them and so far I'm enjoying teaching lessons aligned directly with common core. I'm worried, however, that I may not be doing enough rote practice, but I do fit it in when I can. And the rote is truly embedded in the application style questions anyway. So any thoughts or feedback...See More

A Self-study of Mathematics

by harpazo

Oct 14, 2013

I am 48 and love math. I have two degrees in areas other than math. I fell in love with math after earning my second degree in 1994. A few years ago, I decided to learn math beyond the basics on my own.

Why pay for college courses when I can learn calculus and more via youtube and other math forums like this one? However, my family and ce...See More

Oct 29, 2013

I am teaching 5th to 8th grade science and math in Roatan, Honduras. Our school has very few resources, but we do have the 2007 Edition of Holt Texas Math Course 1, 2 and 3 (orange, blue, green).

Joan I have been reminded, correctly, that this is copyright infringement. One tends to forget these things in a third world country. Perhaps someone can physically donate these if they are no longer being used at your school?

And does anyone have contact info for a HOLT district rep?
