If your students are struggling with drawing visuals of fractions, back up to a tool like play dough first. You can start over as many times as you want until you see equal pieces. Then take time to draw what you made. #mtbos #iteachmath

Spend lots of time setting up expectations & structure at the start of the school year. Do this by solving problems together as a class. If their solution doesn’t work, consider a change in your structure.

The 2nd grade students came up with every single one of these today without any help from the teacher. Thank you kinder and first grade teachers! ❤️ @HortonvilleSD

Students who set their own goals and get regular feedback on progress have higher levels of achievement in general, beyond only the goals they set (Hattie, 2009; Henderlong, et al., 2007). Here is a student goal setting sheet. Feel free to use. #LeadInclusion #education #edchat

If place value blocks are confusing your students, it might be a good idea to use visual representations to clear it up. This gives them a real world connection to place value. These are my favorite visuals! #mtbos #elemchat #iteachmath

It breaks my heart when I hear elementary teachers shamefully tell me that they were "never good at math". If you never felt confident in math, you should know it’s a gift. Not only that, it will make you an anchor chart machine. beyondtraditionalmath.com/20…

Students mixing up area vs. perimeter? Reinforce this with the way you call them over to your mat/carpet. For sitting on the edge, ask them to sit on the perimeter of the mat/carpet. For sitting on the inside, ask them to sit in the area of the mat/carpet.

Number lines are more complicated to teach than I realized! Look at all the important things students have to try to remember…this is why anchor charts are SO essential.
