Required Fluencies in the Common Core Standards for Math. Place Value Mats. Ten-Frame Mat Math mats help students organize materials in a mathematically meaningful way.

Place Value Mats

They may also serve as prompts to reinforce mathematical concepts and skills. For example, ten-frame mat help young students organize objects by tens, reinforcing that important place value concept of our base-ten number system. It is developmentally appropriate to have students begin with ungrouped materials (e.g. unifix cubes, beans, etc.) and place one object in each square of the ten frame to create a ten.

Featured Topic: Writing in Math Class Teachers incorporate writing in math class to help students reflect on their learning, deepen their understanding of important concepts by explaining and providing examples of those concepts, and make important connections to real-life applications of the math they are learning.

Writing in Mathematics

Teachers use the writing assignments to assess student understanding of important concepts, student proficiency in explaining and using those concepts and each student's attitude toward learning mathematics. Writing in mathematics is a win-win for both teacher and student. Although it may be difficult to introduce this practice, it is well worth the effort. Math Journals Boost Real Learning.

Kay Toliver: Math and Communication. Math and Communication by Kay Toliver Before I taught mathematics in grades 7 and 8 at East Harlem Tech, I taught all of the other elementary grades, starting with the first and gradually moving up through each grade, one at a time.

Kay Toliver: Math and Communication

It may have been this background which led me to want to use mathematics instruction to develop my students' communication skills, because I saw that, for all students in all grades, communication skills were among the most important abilities that I could help them to develop. Over the years I have learned that there are two sides to this coin. Using Writing In Mathematic. Using Writing In Mathematics This strand provides a developmental model for incorporating writing into a math class.

Using Writing In Mathematic

The strand includes specific suggestions for managing journals, developing prompts for writing, and providing students with feedback on their writing. In addition, the site includes two sample lessons for introducing students to important ideas related to writing about their mathematical thinking. Teaching Strategies For Incorporating Writing Into Math Class: Moving From Open-Ended Questions To Math Concepts Starting Out Gently with Affective, Open-Ended Prompts Writing about thinking is challenging.

Math Tales from the Spring. Connecting class talk with individual student writing. Learning Math Through Telling Stories. Tuesday, July 3, 2012 From the University of Western Ontario: “Education professor George Gadanidis is attempting to revolutionize the way math is taught in elementary classrooms by applying principles from the world of art.

Learning Math Through Telling Stories

‘A typical solution to helping kids learn math is making math easy to learn,’ Gadanidis said. ‘But you go watch a movie, if it is easy to learn, you will make predictions for the ending and always be right, [and that's boring]. Movies work to teach you something when you make guesses but you are surprised. Gadanidis and his research team developed a framework for approaching typical math problems in an atypical way—lessons are tackled through storytelling, drama and even music. By way of example, he offered a different approach to teaching elementary students infinity, a concept not taught until high school. NC Math Common Core - home. A new math problem every night.
