Welcome to the Fall 2023 Semester

Announcements

Hello Everyone! I am excited to welcome you to the fall semester and am especially happy to work with so many of you again.

This blog will serve as a place to extend class discussions, share current news of interest, and further reflect on what it means to teach math using pedagogical approaches that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and creativity.

Use the menu to navigate to course resources.

  • Hover over Assignments in the menu to find guidelines for the semester’s work.
  • Click on Reflection and Class Prep in the menu to find the work to be completed after each class session.

Resources for Instruction

Planning for Instruction, Teacher Resources

In class, I mentioned that there are numerous resources to assist you in planning for instruction and assessment. Here are some of the most helpful. These will be particularly useful in writing lesson plans and developing the Notes section of your unit plan.

Notes – This is a page for teachers that will include general information and links to resources for math instruction in general. This is a good place to provide resources for mathematical thinking, growth mindset, manipulatives, writing in math (journals perhaps), ideas for vocabulary instruction or word walls, bulletin boards, etc.
