How can I make the skills I have to teach fit into the world of a first grader and make it meaningful, give them a reason for needing to know the information.

And I'm someone who loved doing algebra - but I still don't know why you flip fractions to divide them. <br />I've been working hard this year to give my students the chance to figure out the math they are doing - but sometimes / often times it feels like the curriculum map doesn't want to allow that time. <br />Thanks for your ideas and thoughts! I've incorporated several of your math ideas.

It doesn't feel like me. I don't feel proud of teaching math. I've been thinking lately of collecting math picture books so that I can incorporate what I love into my 'dead language' portion of the day. Thanks for your constant reminder to reflect on my teaching practice.Kimberley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944774091932084680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-78187296721945308642013-12-07T10:42:56.748-08:002013-12-07T10:42:56.748-08:00That is how I learned math too.
