Perfect analogy for what happens when we do too much for our students. Goal is to develop independent problem solvers who can generalize and apply what they know to what they don't know!
Birds are fed by their parents in their infancy. When the time comes to feed themselves, there can be some confusion when the food does not go into their mouth by itself.

Keep seeing more & more complicated tasks, videos, this, that & the other being pushed on teachers. That's why I love this quote. Might good teaching be all about simplifying? Focusing on fewer, better strategies & skills? Using models & methods that generalize? Food for thought!

Creating a better depiction of the difference between place values! One thousand is 1,000 x more than 1! And it’s a BIG difference! Thanks @gregtangmath for the idea! 🥰 @LightFarmsElem @LFEGrade3 #prosperproud

The 1-20 # Path connects to the MathRack, by changing colors every 5 numbers, so that children can see an iconic representation of what they do with the concrete manipulative. Number Paths are recommended for #Kinder & #1stgraders instead of Number Lines. buildmathminds.com/shop

Thank you #LivingProof for this truly compassionate email. I have had 19 Mother’s Days without my mom and some years are harder than others. I appreciate your sensitivity on this topic. I already loved your products, but I am now a customer for life!

We are loving @gfletchy’s Multiplication Array Cards for working on fluency. Our daughter feels more confident every time she uses the arrays to help her. 😊😊 Free at gfletchy.com/2015/08/17/not-…

Data means very little without positive relationships, support, and encouragement.

We don’t have a passion for things we don’t do well. So if we spend all our time focused on what students don’t do well then how do they ever get a passion for learning.

One thing we know about curriculum and instruction leaders @GCCISD, they love having new facilities for professional development! Awesome job!

Try to take some time this weekend to care for yourself. Let’s be honest—you can prep every waking minute, all weekend, and not get everything done on your to-do list. Teaching is a giving profession...part of your “prep” should be to refill your heart, mind, and soul. #atplc

Our focus is fundamental strategies that make math easier & more enjoyable. Don’t think kids need 5 strategies if they don't know the 1 or 2 benchmark strategies. Do think they need concrete, pictorial, abstract strategies at different stages of learning! tangmath.com

Students might not remember what you taught them. They will always remember if you enjoyed teaching them.
