And, as always, on edutopia.org.
Our mission in action: Inspiring & empowering educators! It's amazing to see so many tips shared by teachers at @edutopia's booth at #NCTMCHI24. This collaborative spirit embodies our goal of spreading innovative teaching practices & building a supportive community of educators❤️
Here are 4 more educator-tested ideas that *work*—for math and for other subject areas! 💯 Thank you to everyone at #NCTMCHI24 for sharing what works.
ALT What Works For me! Smiling and walking away—the one who does the math learns the math, so I try to keep my mouth shut! —Vicki, Southern Indiana
ALT What Works For me! I say a student's name as much as I can. You may be the only person who says it all day. I heard once that the sweetest sound to anyone is the sound of their name. Relationships are everything, and they always start with a name! —Andrea RC
ALT What Works For me! Interview students about their math knowledge. Just one or two questions about what they have learned that day or week. Every student every week. They know so much! (smiley face) —Newman AZ
ALT What Works For me! Find work where students can express their voice, interests, or background! —Tan Huynh

I’m writing an article for @Edutopia for new teachers; please share strategies that work for you.
