(Oh, and while you're there, check out Casey's guest post from yesterday supplied by Jenny at Luckeyfrog's Lilypad. I loved it. Here's a pic to grab your interest.)

Math Inventions Over at Casey's Place
Could I ask a big favor of you today? Instead of hanging out here, could you visit me at Second Grade Math Maniac? Casey's on vacation, so I'm guest blogging for her today. Here's a little sneak peek of what I'll be talking about.
I'd love for you to hear the story behind this picture. I promise it's a good one. I'm hoping it will inspire all math teachers out there. See you at Casey's, and of course I'd love to know what you think.

Great post, Tammy!! I noticed you had a book called Teaching Self-Centered Mathematics in the picture surrounded by your students' work.
ReplyDeleteIs this book a good one to buy?? Just wondering.

Connie, it's called "Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics K-3" by Van de Walle. I'd highly recommend it. I found a used one, because it's not cheap. Anyway, I think you'd enjoy it.
DeleteInteresting way to solve that math problem..I think I figured it out

Jennifer, they come up with great strategies, and they can tell you why too. That's the best part.
DeleteGreat thinking on how to teach math! I love that the students can think of different ways to get to the end!
