@Jessica29555302 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Great Post, creating a place to make all student feel accepted and make they be aware that their voice does matter.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 I believe that creating a culture of acceptance and collaboration starts by modeling collaboration and acceptance! When we as educators can show our students what this truly looks like, they will follow suit. This also means making ALL students feel included 😊

Q5: How do we work together? How do we build a culture/community of acceptance? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@TerilynThompson @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hi Terilyn, yes a teacher is the framework four our students. Students will be able to build on what they believe in and have us as their supporters.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Empathy is defined as the ability to understand the thoughts, feelings or emotions of someone else. An empathetic teacher gives each student a framework to build on in which all thoughts, opinions, feelings, and differences are uplifted.

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

@elizabethesnoz @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hey Elizabeth, yes I agree. Becoming that positive role model for our students will make a difference.

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

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Q1: The way we can be advocates for our students is by listening and understanding our students needs. This will give students the opportunity to be heard and make a difference.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Q3: The way I will create a safe and brave space for my future students will be creating a community within our classroom. Making students feel comfortable to speak out. Overall, create a positive environment for my students.

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

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Q2: Empathy means to have the ability to comprehend and share feeling to one another. In education, empathy will help us succeed to understand and work with others.

A3: Hyperdocs are various digital documents/templates that are for students to help them throughout their lesson. They also have different activities for students digitally. #CSUBTED

A2: I want to know what benefits it provides our students. Also, how do we create them.#CSUBTED

A1: I know it is a digital lesson that teachers create for their students. #CSUBTED

@VictoriaAnnDF @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Hi Victoria, I totally agree with math always feels different than other subjects due to so much formulas students have to remember. As well as having test timed it has so much pressure on students.

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Q3: Math is treated differently compared to other subjects. Math anxiety stems from the fact that students are expected to memorize so much and are often timed on their tests. This creates an added stress to our students. #EDEL5200

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

@moluvs2teach @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Hi Morgan, Yes students gain so much from having mental math and while they are doing the problem they are having fun !

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 A2: Some of the benefits of student participation in “Number Talks” is that students are able to give their different strategies, students learn mental math, having opportunities to memorize math facts, and develop conceptual understanding of numbers. #EDEL5200

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

@ms_nagua @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Yes. I agree the pressure of math test being timed makes students focus more on how much time is left rather than the main purpose of the actual test.

@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

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Number Talks are great for students to see the various ways there is to solve one problem. #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Math projects can be effective on students learning. The teacher will be able to see what they learned. A google form with what would be on the test. Google forms are another effective way for students to show what they learned. #EDEL5200

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

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 The lack of support in the subject which makes students stress. As well as having to memorize different equations. Many math exams are timed and students feel pressured when they do not have much time to complete their work #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 An activity that can help in number flexibly is using "Number Talks". The teacher will put a problem up. Then students will solve the problem in their head. One its time to share the teacher will call on students. Each student will share how they solved it.

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

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Memorizing math fact are unnecessary and damaging to students because it leads to misunderstanding of math and student end up disliking the subject. This topic is controversial due to some positive results when memorizing math fact is done correctly. #EDEL5200

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