5 Different Ways to Use Solve and Snips

When I began teaching Middle School math, I became apparently aware that my students detested working with word problems. It didn't matter if I worked them with them, I asked them to show their strategies, or even let them work with partners or in groups... they HATED them. But I didn't know why. I had to think about... my students who had been sitting in similar math classes for the last five ... View Post

5 Football Activities to Get You Ready to Rumble!

Blue 22, Blue 22... hut, hut! I can’t even begin to think of how many times I’ve heard phrases like that on tv and have no clue what it means!

Book Study: Guided Math Chapter 3

So happy to be here talking about Guided Math in the Upper Elementary and Middle School classroom once again. If you missed last week's post, feel free to jump back over and check it out. For years I had students working on a warm-up when they entered my classroom. Middle school students were reluctant at times to get this started much less complete it during the time allowed. All of this led ... View Post

Bundles of Savings through April 29th

The end of the school year is starting to arrive for many of us as every time I open Instagram or Facebook I see teachers who are counting down in some way (mostly counting the Mondays remaining). During this time of the year students are antsy and they want to be interacting with anything that they do. Worksheets are the LAST thing that they want to do especially when it's nice outside. I have ... View Post
