Fact Fluency and Number Sense in Sixth Grade

Fact Fluency and Number Sense in Sixth Grade

April 17, 2019

A while back I took stock of what we were doing as a math department to improve kids’ math fluency. It seemed that every year we had a chunk of kids who came up to sixth grade with amazing fact fluency. We had another chunk who fought with basic addition and multiplication much like struggling readers fought with multisyllabic words…. Read More

I taught 6th grade math back when that was fraction central, and I learned 3 key things along the way. They have been just applicable in the 5th grade classrooms… Read More

Fractions and Decimals Made Easy

Fractions and Decimals Made Easy

June 19, 2018

PSA: I forgot this tonight, and we paid dearly. Sharing so maybe you won’t have to do the same.🪩We don’t have to do all the events. I don’t have to spend an hour in a loud overstimulating gymnasium because “they” say it’s fun for kids. I know it’s not fun for me. And the universe smacks me in the back of the head when we get home every time- by way of a major kid meltdown. 🌈My kids will make great childhood memories even if we skip the family dance or glow-in-the-dark bowling night. I had an AMAZING childhood and barely remember any of those types of things. I DO remember quiet times at home with my family. My core memories have nothing to do with big, organized events. 👇🏼What’s something that you think should be good for kids that just doesn’t work for your family??#goodinsideparenting #knowingyourkids #boundries #neurodivergentfamily #asdkids #ndaffirming #familytime #raisingkids #teachermom #adhdkids #teachermomlife #schooldance ...

📝 Enhancing Memory Through Handwriting!Exciting research from the Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory at the Department of Psychology in Trondheim, Norway, reveals that writing by hand can significantly boost your memory! 🧠✨When students write by hand, the brain regions involved in motor control and visual processing sync up with areas crucial for memory formation. This synchronization occurs at frequencies associated with learning, making handwritten notes a powerful tool for memory retention.Original research article: www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1219945/fullwww.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/05/11/1250529661/handwriting-cursive-typing-schools-learni... ...
