How to Teach Long Division So That Their Answers Are Accurate

How to Teach Long Division So That Their Answers Are Accurate

February 16, 2021

Teaching Long Division. I can almost feel the pain just typing the words. I think I have some residual PTSD from erasing a hole through my paper in Ms. Donahue’s fourth grade class in the 80’s. Guessing wrong how many times 37 “go-zin-ta” 566… and not knowing until the end of a traumatic subtraction exercise complete with WAY too much… Read More

Talking About Fractions in Math Class

Talking About Fractions in Math Class

July 31, 2018

“The ones that are doing the talking are doing the learning.” I know that. But, no matter how many times I say it, the impact on student learning in front of me is profound and somehow surprising. There is no example stronger than that of talking about fractions in math class. I’ve spent most of my career spending part of… Read More

Sometimes, I need an easy out. And I’m shocked every time that it works. I really do want reading for them- really! But, I also know know it’ll be a little like when I turned the car seats front and couldn’t snack freely without sharing anymore. 😂😂😂What’s your best #momhack white lie??#momhumor #teachermomlife #teachermom #feedingkids #bedtimebattles #christmastradition #reuse #recycle #frugalmom #lies #whitelies #momtruth #momtruths #icecreamfordinner ...

🐣 I try to hide the eggs within plain sight because as a kid, there was ALWAYS an egg (or two) discovered months later. I guess my kids are more observant than I was, because they find them all in minutes!🤒We are isolating and quarantining and eating alphabet soup by @dreenaburton today. I have all of the lasagna parts, but not enough energy to make it happen! I can’t tell if I’m tired from getting up with a sick kid, worrying about getting sick or being the Easter bunny at midnight 🤷🏼‍♀️ #momlife I guess… Happy 3rd pandemic Easter! Is this thing over yet?!?!#teachermom #veganholidayfood #veganholidays #pandemiceaster #teachermomlife #mentalloadofmotherhood #toddlerfood #vegankids #puppetry #pancakes ... See MoreSee Less

What kind of grammar crime is driving YOU crazy these days? Currently, so am obsessed with making sure students know exactly what words make up contractions. I had a few too many run ins with “could of” recently, and I am afraid it’s going to be around every corner... in every piece of student writing. 😬Every Tuesday is Typo Tuesday, in my ELA warm ups and although I love them all... My favorite is the blank EDITABLE slide that I can customize on the fly when someone writes something RIDICULOUS on a Monday like, “they could of gone to the game.” 🤷🏼‍♀️ (Editable slides in bundles😉)So, if you are a Grammar & Conventions crime fighter, like me- you may want to check out the ELA warm ups in my Write Solutions TPT store.
