I tried this year to have students explain and share their strategies more, but I can do better. Thanks for always inspiring me to be a better teacher!<br /><br />Crystal<br /><a title="Teaching Little Miracles" href="http://teachinglittlemiracles.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Teaching Little Miracles</a> Teaching Little Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694650140067870645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-70515618295394066742015-06-24T11:43:21.072-07:002015-06-24T11:43:21.072-07:00Lori, I know we all still have much to learn about...Lori, I know we all still have much to learn about great math instruction, but I too wish I had learned math differently than I did. I think I'd feel much more confident about numbers if I had.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-31446218593927556702015-06-24T10:45:26.672-07:002015-06-24T10:45:26.672-07:00I was raised on math rules too.

It's sure on mine. I'm reading several math books this summer. I'll be posting about them. So far my favorite is Number Talks. I'm excited about that one! I love Math their Way by the way. It's been my foundation for most of my career.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-25180528305076619122015-06-21T10:39:37.769-07:002015-06-21T10:39:37.769-07:00We must have been the same kid!

I totally aced math all through high school and also took two years at the university level, but like you, I was missing some fundamental understandings.<br />But I have to say...I find it quite hard to teach the "Fosnot" way. I'll keep working at it though, 'cause I know how important it is.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776494983428336686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-63472468509814522462015-06-20T07:24:08.613-07:002015-06-20T07:24:08.613-07:00Yesterday I was thinking that I needed to think mo...Yesterday I was thinking that I needed to think more about my approach to math. I'm not kidding! I spend most of the summer thinking of ways to make my Language Arts more engaging, but rarely math. This summer I'm going to think mathematically! Do you have a favorite math resource? I have Math Their Way memorized. I'd like to broaden my mindset. Thanks for the inspiration!!<br />JennyOwl Things Firsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978780415995185795noreply@blogger.com
