Resources for Instruction

Posted on May 23, 2023 by Tricia

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.

Resources in Spanish

Posted on June 3, 2022 by Tricia

This morning I received a message on Pinterest from a classroom teacher asking if I had any SMP posters in Spanish. I did a little digging on the web and found some helpful elementary resources. I thought these might be of interest to you.
