@MartaRo85984024 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Respect is HUGE! Just because they are children does not mean they don't deserve respect.

Q3: How will you create a safe AND brave space for all students? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@asl_teach @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 You are so right! They have to learn not to be all about self. Teachers take on so many roles!

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Being able to understand what someone is feeling. For children, empathy is something we have to teach them early on because children are so egocentric. We have to take the responsibility upon ourselves to teach them to thing about others and how they feel.

Q2: What does it mean to have empathy? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@Yesseni57100126 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I agree! Many times children are told to "stay in a child's place" and voices are muted. They need to feel and be heard!

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Q1: We can be advocates for our students by supporting, listening, and making their voices heard.

Q1: How can we be advocates for our students? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I will model what I want to see in my students. We must lead by example. I will set clear expectations and share how we can help each other. But it all starts with me and the environment I provide for them. #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 To have empathy means to put self away and really understand the other persons feeling and needs. You need to feel the other persons feelings. #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I can be an advocate 2 my students by listening and treating them as individuals. When we just group them, students may fall through the cracks. Also many times, students don't have anyone to listen to their wants and needs. I have to be that trustworthy adult 4 them #EDEL5200

@BooshPapi Of course! Anytime.

@BooshPapi Dang, sorry you're hurting so much. That's a lot to internalize...Cry. Take solace in that sweet family of yours. Sending you lots of positive energy!

@DMartinez5200 @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Parents being able to do it is a huge plus! Education is always changing and many time parents just can't keep up!

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Lessons are ideally short and both teachers and parents can do with students. Many of the activities involved are games (many group games) that keep students engaged. And students like to learn the different ways one answer emerges.

Q5: What are some of the benefits of student participation in “Number Talks”? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@Angel3Urbina @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Hello! This has to be the most simple, yet underrated answer lol. Yes! Don't time the test!

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 The best alternative to timed tests is not to time the students in the test. We as teachers have to guide them how to complete the work correctly so we can teach them to concentrate on accuracy and not focus on the time. Doing this students will alleviate the pressure of anxiety.

Q4: Describe alternatives to a timed math test. #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@ms_nagua @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Hello! I agree about confidence levels. Students need to feel like math can be accomplished! Test anxiety in itself is very real. Adding a timer is harsh. And these things do not correctly reflect students' abilities.

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 The pressure to memorize math facts in a timed test is a big reason for math anxiety. Students' confidence goes down when they do not perform well on a timed test. This makes them turn away from math. #EDEL5200

Q3: What are some reasons for math anxiety? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@AllisonCheatwo1 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Hey Allison!!! Great point about feedback from students. They should have a part in their education and they should feel like their ideas are important. This would increase participation and self-efficacy!

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler The best way to introduce a student to the theory of flexibility with numbers is to simply show them that numbers within a math problem can be changed to better solve the problem. This happens with Number Talks and the teacher cultivating feedback from students.

Q2: How can we encourage students to use numbers flexibly? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@Laura19608450 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Wow! Great point! They are asked to show their work and explain. How do they explain what they don't understand?

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 The memorization of math facts is “unnecessary and damaging” because it does not allow the students to understand how they came to the conclusion of that answer. Since math can be challenging, students should always be able to explain their work.

Q1: Why is the memorization of math facts “unnecessary and damaging”? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear Math Talks helps students to see that there are different ways to get an answer. Students are able to share their strategy, which builds confidence, and students may see another student's strategy and decide it works better for them.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear One alternative is to make it into a game like math jeopardy or race to the board. Another way would be to make interactive math assessments online where it seems like a game to students, but you are able to get results without them feeling pressured

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear Some reasons for math anxiety include memorization of math facts and formulas, timed tests, trying to do the problem exactly the ONE way they were taught, and insecurity of not being as "smart" as other students who seem to get math easily.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear We can encourage number flexibility by having a sense of community where students feel open to participate and ask questions. We can do activities like number talks and "which one is different". Furthermore, we can use principles of UDL.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear Memorization is damaging because memorization does not equate to understanding. It also eliminates the "why" and "how". Students need to understand how to get answers and why. They also need 2 understand that there are different ways 2 get an answer.

@BooshPapi Not outwardly lol. But on the inside, I was BIG trippin.

@BooshPapi Me approximately 1.2 years ago 😂
