Parents' responses to children's math success, failure linked to motivation, anxiety
"You're so smart!"
This encouraging response may actually do more harm than good to children's math performance, according to a new study by the University of Georgia.

Co-conducted by Michael Barger, an assistant professor in the Mary Frances Early College of Education's Department of Educational Psychology, the study found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal traits or innate abilities may dampen their math motivation and achievement over time.

Parents who make comments linking their children's performance to personal attributes like intelligence (e.g., "You're so smart" or "Math just isn't your thing") are using what's referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children's actions, such as effort or strategy use, to their performance (e.g., "You worked hard" or "What might be useful next time you have a math test?") are using process responses.

"Person-focused praise sounds good on its face, but ultimately, it might undermine students' motivation if they run into challenges," said Barger. "Because if you run into challenges after being told you're so smart, you might think, 'Maybe they were wrong.' We also know that people tend to think about math as something that some people can do and others can't, and that language is pretty common, whether it's among parents or teachers, even with young kids."

Praising strategy and effort

For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they respond to their children's math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Students were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.

The results showed that parents who viewed math ability as changeable were more likely to give process responses focused on their children's strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal attributes.

In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can't be constructive gave more person-oriented responses. Parents with high expectations for their children gave a combination of both responses.

While responses highlighting strategy and effort were not related to any achievement outcomes, children who received more responses about their personal traits-in particular, related to failure-were more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibited higher levels of math anxiety, and scored lower on a math achievement test.

"There are a couple possible reasons process messages aren't necessarily improving math achievement," said Barger. "It could be that they're just so frequent now that they just kind of wash over, and that doesn't have as much of an impact. And it could also be that some of these messages don't land correctly if they're not authentic. However, with person responses, we saw clear links to anxiety and less preference for challenging math problems."

A boost to math motivation

Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers recommend limiting this type of response at home and in the classroom.

"There's not necessarily any benefit to talking about whether people are or are not math people because if you're a student who starts struggling, you're going to start thinking that maybe you're not a math person," said Barger.

The second recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to refrain from talking about math ability may not be enough.

Instead, convincing parents that math performance can improve could go a long way.

Many parents praise their children's individual characteristics as a form of encouragement, but focusing less on how students perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.

This means using responses like "Why do you think that happened?" or "Did you have fun?" in place of responses like "You're so smart" or "Math just isn't your thing."

"We should also be asking whether parents believe that math ability can change and if they view failure as an opportunity to learn, as this seems to be related to less person responses," said Barger. "This is more effective than just giving a checklist of things to say."

Designed to promote mastery of number order. This app replicates a simple classroom activity in which children place number tiles in order from least to greatest.

Options include using 10, 15, or 20 number tiles and designating a range of beginning numbers.

Includes options in the iPad version to designate the beginning number as well as setting options to worth with hundreds and negative numbers.

Designed as part of the Number Sense Project at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL.

* Updated to support iOS12 - thank you for your patience.
* A few other minor tweaks.
* As time allows, I'd enjoy hearing how you're using this app in the classroom and at home.

Would like to have it say the number

I would like the option for it to say the number when you put it in the line. Great app for practicing numbers. I am glad you added tiles up to 100. Would be neat to see all 100 at once.

Excellent number skills and fine motor!

This is a great app to help with learning numbers and ordering them properly. Also has the added bonus of working on fine motor skills. This app keeps my daughter as well as my students with special needs busy and learning at the same time. Would definitely recommend--and you can't beat the price!! Would be cool if you could go up to 100 all at one time as well as learn each block of 10-20 numbers to 100 in increments. Thanks for keeping us learning!!

Last year I had a 90% pass rate and this year we improved to 92%. What makes this data even more amazing is we have a large population of special ed students on my team this year and last year we had none! The biggest jump was in my pass advanced rate - it increased from 38% to 41% and 12 students had perfect scores! 15 of my students have IEPs and all of them passed the test. Our building went up from 87% pass to 91% in fifth grade. I think the numbers are amazing with our large special ed population!

I believe a lot of it is due to the work students did in LOL throughout the year to help review and reinforce 4th and 5th grade material.

I am happy to say the least.

4 Children's Books to Shape Up Geometry Skills

by Ben Austin This is an Article - for grade levels Infants, Toddlers, Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade
Tagged Me on the Map, Changes Changes, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, Mapping, Books, Helen Oxenbury, Pat Hutchins, Tana Hoban, Joan Sweeney, Michael Rosen, shape, Shapes Shapes Shapes

From recognizing octagonal stop signs to remembering where the cookies are stored, children encounter geometry early and often. Regularly engaging children with some of the names, rules, and applications involved in geometry will allow them to make the most of their natural skills in this area. There are plenty of children's books that kids love to further pique their interest. We've listed a few of our favorites here.

Shapes, Shapes, Shapes by Tana Hoban

Tana Hoban has a number of children's books featuring eye-catching photos centered around a single theme. In this case, you guessed it, she focuses on shapes and the various ways they appear in everyday life. With no text and not even a story to follow, this book is great for inspiring children to think and talk about the shapes they encounter in their own lives.

Changes, Changes by Pat Hutchins

Changes, Changes tells the story of a wooden family living in a house of blocks. Whenever a problem occurs, they must come up with a shape-based solution. When their house catches fire, for instance, they engineer a fire engine out of blocks. Kids can "play along" with the blocks in the classroom or come up with their own geometric solutions to the various calamities the family encounters.

Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney

Map-reading can be a challenging concept for children (and adults!) to grasp, but Me on the Map presents the topic in a kid-friendly, step-by-step manner. Starting with a map of a young girl's room, the book "zooms out" to display maps of increasing complexity: a map of her house leads to a map of her street; a map of her continent leads to a map of the world. After reading Me on the Map, children may be eager to construct their own maps of their bedroom, classroom, house or school.

We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury

A family sets out to catch sight of a bear but encounters several obstacles on the way in this classic children's chant story. The descriptions of how they handle these hurdles (walking through a snowstorm, for example) is great practice for positional prepositions, which can be especially difficult for children to master. The sounds that accompany the family's escapade (splashing through water, squelching through mud), keeps youngsters entertained and involved throughout the book.

LOVE it! But freezing on fractions

My Kindergarteners are learning so much on this app. I love playing as well; however on my iPhone (fine on IPad) when you click the fractions section, it freezes on the Intro information about fractions. I have had to delete and reinstall 2x now. :(.

Lost Data

My daughter & students love the app but I lost my data! I purchased all mathematical symbols & now they're gone!!! Is there a restore purchase button!!! Heeelllpppppp!

Great math game!

This plays like a highly addictive arcade game! My daughter AND my class are going to love it! Thank you so much because the world of education can always use more awesome, engaging math games!

"Sheppard offers everything from early math to pre-algebra. The lessons include interactive activities to practice concepts. Students can shoot fruit, pop balloons, and even play math man (the math version of pac man!). Fractions, place value, money, and basic operations are some of the areas that are covered. Check it out at https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math.htm. "
--Shannon Jakeman , sjakeman.blogspot.com

"Online math games, like the ones that you'll find for free at Sheppard Software, provide a valuable opportunity for children to learn a great deal while they're having fun. The games at Sheppard Software are well written, interactive and very fun to play.

It can be very difficult for parents to find productive and worthwhile activities for children on the Internet; however fun online math games do offer a wonderful alternative.

This free section of Sheppard Software was written for children. Mostly all of the material you'll find at the site is completely free for kids to use. These fun online math games cover all of the math fundamentals, including early math, basic and mixed operations, fractions, pre-algebra, dollars & cents and place value. While teachers often use worksheets to solidify the math concepts learned in the classroom, these sort of games actually have the same educational impact on the child, and the format of the examples as an exciting game keeps the child engaged, interested and coming back for more.

From the main page parents or children will find a simple and easy to navigate menu featuring the different levels of math games and the various math concepts that are available. Children from pre-k up to 8th grade will find fun online math games that teach important math skills that are appropriate for their age level.

Sheppard Software offers a couple of cute games for the youngest math students. In this game, called Bugabaloo Addition, children are shown a number of "bug shoes" on the left and the right. The game asks the child to add the two groups of shoes together, and then pick the bug with the correct number printed on it. This game teaches addition through a graphical display that lets the child see and count the shoes. With the numbers right underneath, children easily make the association between the visual cues and the act of addition.

For slightly older kids, there are a number of very popular arcade-style "popup" math games. In these games, the child is presented with a math problem and must find the creature that's holding the correct answer and smack it on the head with the hammer. The comical expression the creature makes and the sound effects make this game so fun that children will forget that they're learning math! "
