One To One Correspondence

Math is everywhere and teaches perseverance and discipline. Additionally, math is used daily in my line of work to administer medication, but not algebra. The bible verse that sustains me during this class is Psalms 25:5 Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation for you I

I believe Math is learned by doing the problems and doing the homework. The problems help you learn the formulas you need to know, to help with problem solving. I have learned from my own personal experience that you must keep up with the Instructor: attend class, read the text and do homework every day. Falling a day behind puts you at a disadvantage. Falling a week behind puts you in deep trouble.

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others- it’s important for students to be able to explain and be able to discuss the process into which they believe a problem should be solved this demonstrates the students understanding on the concept. They should be able to clarify and answer any questions that arise about the problem once again displaying a deeper understanding then just being able to memorize formulas/steps and solving a problem.

How are your lessons designed for student learning of mathematical concepts, procedures/algorithms, and mental math strategies through problem solving?

You need to be able to use different strategies and resources in order to develop mathematical skills in young children, you can do this through focused activities as well as using the learning environment to stimulate children’s learning.

Many students find math as a boring subject and I would love to help these students excel in their math classes. As high school math went on I still enjoyed just the basic material of my mathematics courses. I enjoyed the classes so much that I doubled up and took two math courses both sophomore and junior year. I did this so I could be challenged and learn more math material in less time.

Peshek (2012) cites the benefits of differentiation in the math classroom as “greater student engagement, achievement, and equity.” She emphasizes the importance of developing objectives in lessons before thinking about how to differentiate the content. After stating the objectives the teacher must find a way to pre-assess their students in order to figure their readiness for the lesson. My favorite idea that she gives for pre-assessment is a discussion on “precisely what meanings students associate with the concept.” Throughout the article she gives examples dealing with fractions, but this would work well with the beginning of all math concepts. Even if the students have no experience with the topic, then the teacher will know exactly where he or she needs to start.

Thinking back to when I was in school, I would have to say the communication for reading and mathematics was to make a good score on the standardized testing. I also remember to reading around the room as a group and not individualization at all to any children. I remember reading stories, or listen to them on cassette as a group and then doing worksheets. Math was drill worksheets in the early education. I don’t think I started liking Math until 5th grade when the teacher made the class fun and exciting. I would communicate to the children that everyone learns in different ways. I will tell the students that we will be do different approaches in learning to enhance everyone abilities to learn the materials. I will let them know, I want

The one key point I think my on-site supervisor could use in their work is focusing in play to introduce mathematical (Hachey,2009, p.6). The on-sight supervisor can use different techniques to introduce mathematical language, concepts, and methods during play (Hachey,2009, p.6). As an example, problem solving a puzzle or playing game that involves math. The second key point the on-sight could use is not making the children memorize mathematics but make mathematics sense making or problem solving (Hachey,2009,

In the Information Capsule from Miami-Dade county different researchers have developed strategies that a teacher can use to reduce the effects of math anxiety in a student who may be suffering from the phobia. The result of the research has found that a teacher, practice has a strong influence on students’ math anxiety. One way a teacher can reduce math anxiety is to be knowledgeable in their content when comes to math and to always exude a positive attitude towards math. The teacher needs to have more training on the subject of math so they will not lack confidence when they are teaching their students. The recommendation is for teachers to attend workshops on research-based best practices

With this intervention, I hope that at-risk students will be more interested in attempting math-related challenges, more motivated to continue and complete math courses, and strive for mastery in mathematics.

There are many strategies teachers can use to engage students in lessons. “Rather than showing students how to do something, your role is to ask probing questions that keep students engaged in the productive struggle until they reach a solution” (Van De Walle et al., 2016, p.29). A strategy that is used to engage students in math is to connect real-life and mathematics. According to Attard (2012), “The incorporation of tasks that mirrored life-like situations appears to have been a strong factor in engaging students in mathematics tasks, as were the tasks that required the students to

Communication of mathematical ideas - Students learn the proper terminology associated with Math concepts and demonstrate their understanding in multiple ways (verbally, written, with the use of manipulatives, etc) I would give the students opportunities everyday to practice mathematical concepts verbally and in written form. Students could work on a problem and then go up to the SmartBoard to show what they did using the correct terminology.

Obvious thing first, Math cannot be taught in the same manner as other subjects. It requires constant interaction between the teacher and the pupils. This, as it turns out, is the most beautiful part of being a math tutor. They get to have a hands-on approach in their teaching methods. The same applies to learning the concepts in Math. The best way to learn the mathematical concepts is by applying them.

A second way to intrinsically motivate students is to “understand the children” (Specific Classroom Management Methods). Originality and creativity should be encouraged in all students. Make a point to give students opportunities to express themselves in different ways. Each child is unique and self-expression is a great way to learn about each and every student. When starting the year, “Knowing what background your students bring to class and starting the course at an appropriate level can increase a students success and…positive feelings they have about your
