Filipp Mirkadyrov left a comment for Mara Alagic"Greetings Ms. Alagic,
sorry for the lateness of my reply, but its been a difficult last few days starting
my internship.
i appologize for mis-representing myself in that phrase you mentioned,
but what actually meant to say was that i want to…"
Kori Martin replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"I agree and have taken notes from many of the posts before. Really working problems over and over, answering questions, clarifying what is being asked in the problem. There are many different ways to meet educational needs. Learning who your…"
Nichole Hill replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"I like that you said you wanted to stand out. That's very important and I think every teacher should have that same mindset!! That is, after all how our students are going to remember us most as teachers. Finding unique ways to teach…"
Filipp Mirkadyrov left a comment for Mara Alagic"Thanks again Ms. Alagic,
unfortunately, i do not know the origin of Bennet's work; is there anything in particular that you find relevant? also, i have not been able to read all of that particular book, i read only the available portions…"
Mara Alagic left a comment for Filipp Mirkadyrov"Welcome Filipp! I am curious to learn more about your work. It might also be a good way to introduce yourself to TPL members. I see you are mentioning Bennet's work. Do you know origin of his survey? Also, I am curious about your understanding…"
Kori Martin replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"A lot of this question goes back with last weeks. I think meeting a child's needs in education is learning how to teach them a way they as the student can learn. Finding different methods or strategies to help with specific students is the way…"
Kacie Grimes replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"In my classroom, I will focus on figuring out how my students learn and using those ways to help teach the different subjects. Having a variety of methods that will help reach all types of learners will be important. Children like to do…"
Kacie Grimes replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"I totally agree with needing to be excited about what you are teaching!! Children can pick up on things really easily and they will know if you are not interested in the topic. I think you will make a great teacher…"
Laura Swallow replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"You make a very good point in needing to know reasoning! It wasn't until last semester that I have actually grown to enjoy math, because, up until then, I was frustrated due to lack of understanding. This frustration grew from when I was an…"
Cortney Debenham replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"I completely agree with the point on hands on activities; I myself learn better when I have the opportunity to physically interact with objects or engage in physical activity. I feel that worksheets can be overdone and monotonous. I…"
Brandi Smith replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"I have started getting so many ideas for not only my classroom, but also our next problem set! I think some of those teachers on there are amazing and I hope to one day have a classroom like theirs'! I also like http://exchange.smarttech.com/…"
Kristin Holtorf replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"I agree that math is such a difficult subject for students due to the stigma that surrounds it! You truly hit the spot on this! If a teacher creates fun activities for the students to learn math will show the students that math is not as bad it…"
Kristin Holtorf replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical InvestigationsKristin Holtorf replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"There are four habits that a teacher must follow when teaching math. These habits are let it make sense, remember the goals, know your tools, and living and loving math. When you are trying to make sense of a math problem it is important for the…"
Iesha Cole replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"Ericka you are not the only one. For me I think that math always was easy because all I had to do was to plug numbers into an equation. I thought this was the point of math. I really never understood how to relate it to the world. I think that the…"
Aileen Archiopoli replied to Mara Alagic's discussion TPL Reflection (#13): How to meet children’s educational needs in mathematics? in the group Mathematical Investigations"Math is a difficult subject for many students. Sometimes it can be difficult for students to learn things that they cannot physically touch or see. There is also such a bad stigma that surrounds math that kids learn to hate it before they even know…"
