We will be sharing resources and showing how we use them in class to utilize every minute of instruction time in fun and engaging ways. This is a math session - for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. We plan to share resources that we love that supplement the math curriculum, and are TEKS-based. We will show HOW we use them, discuss when and best practices, tried and true ways to use our instruction time, even those wonky minutes in a day that teachers can't always anticipate. Basically - this is a session to share our tried and true, favorite, effective ways to teach math to support mastery and growth goals. Perfect for a new teacher, or a new-to-math teacher for 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade. Examples of resources and routines we will share: - math facts - flashcards, student led mastery, routines of whole class chants and call backs - 5 Minute Math (Aaron Daffern) - how to incorporate directly and indirectly - Math daily - simple and streamlined - start the routine DAY 1! - websites that directly align with the TEKS and provide easy to use resources for students and teachers - Incorporating hands-on activities that are cross-curricular - water colors for area and perimeter, play dough for fractions and skip counting, using Science and Social Studies content material to create and analyze data - graphs and charts - Task Cards and Exit Tickets - TEKS aligned - Games to play when you have 3 minutes - like 'Guess My Number'
