Teachers should encourage and challenge their students because in order for students to persevere, they must learn to navigate struggle. Teachers should design instruction that builds on students’ prior knowledge and experiences, teach in ways that ensure every student is reasoning and making sense of mathematics on a daily basis , and reflect of ways to make the task better .

There is always areas of growth in every aspect of life. In math, you can constantly grow and become better at skills. However, growth happens best when you are willing to put for the effort in order to grow. Growth looks different for every student so it is important to celebrate the growth of every student no matter how that looks.

Students should have the freedom to learn in whatever way they do best, this can be done with using things like manipulatives to teach and giving an ample number of examples, this way students can choose what works best for them.

In everything there are always areas of growth. I think it is important to always allow for areas of growth within all subjects, but allowing students to know that it is okay and even if they don't meet the exact mark they should be at, as long as they are continually improving they are doing great.

Learning ways to reach each students in their different way of learning by using different approaches. Allowing to students to feel comfortable to ask for help and different ideas to help them better understand. Challenging students in order to expand their learning and encourage them to keep going even if math is not their strongest or favorite subject.

Learning math should be challenging but not to a level of constant frustration. Everybody has the ability to grow in the classroom even if math is not their “best subject.” In order to learn anything you must put forth effort and actually want to get better at the subject. In math, just like everything else, you must practice to improve your skills.

After having math concepts, I have learned that for me understanding the why to a problem is extremely important for me to understand a concept. It also helps my brain not have to remember as much and makes me feel more comfortable when I’m taking a test because I am trusting that my understanding will get the formula and not my brain memorizing it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think everyone has areas to grow. Specifically in math, students have to know the basics before moving ahead to more challenging concepts, establishing solid bases in math is majorly important

# data[].attributes.body
When teaching mathematics students should be engaged and understanding, I think that understanding is one of the most important parts of math because math builds upon itself and without understanding students will fall behind when learning more complex math.

When teaching mathematics, it is important to give students a strong foundation on each skill in order for them to develop understanding and build toward the next skill. Teachers should take note of how each student learns and what each is struggling with and then tailor their teaching to the students' abilities and learning styles.

Teaching mathematics requires a teacher to go deeper with students and help them as much as possible to reach their goals. Meaning, if a student can’t learn the way you taught it the first time try again.

There will always be areas of growth despite anything. However, a main area of growth in mathematics is commonly heard amongst students everywhere. The common question of "why do we need this?" or "when will I ever use this?" This is the teachers job to make the students aware of why they are learning math and explain how math is in our everyday lives (cooking, driving, etc.)

Every student should feel that they are capable to learn and be good at math! However, this doesn't mean teachers should make math easy. I feel like we learn best from our mistakes, and making math challenging can help students grow in their knowledge and understanding of math. Every student learns different, and should not be expected to memorize only one way on solving a problem.

In order to learn math the student must have an open mind to new strategies. The students should never go into a math class/lesson telling themselves that they cannot do it. A positive mindset is everything. If a student will start by saying “I CAN do this” they have already won half of the battle.

There is alwasy room for improvement and growth in all subject areas. However, math covers such a broad topic considering that numbers have no end. Studnets should always be encouraged to grow in their learning and development skills through mathematics.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning mathematics is extremely tricky because we all understand at different rates or even have different perceptions of something. However, with the right help I think everyone is capable of understanding mathematics but everyone may need to learn it in a different method to fully understand it. For example, one person may need to see the formula and then break it into pieces where someone else may need to figure out the formula on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of always assessing for right/wrong accuracy, an effective math instructor should monitor student progress, seeking to meet each individual student’s needs and figuring out what makes their math brains “tick” with the goal of steady improvement. Something in math should not just be taught without explanation of WHY something is or WHY something works. Teaching mathematics gives instructors an opportunity to speak encouragement and offer challenges to students in order to push them to reach their maximum potential.

I think math has always been presented to me in a list of algorithms rather than in range of approaches. I think that if teachers took the time to understand different approaches students would be able to learn math more, and would therefore enjoy math more.

Learning math should be relatable but challenging. Students should be able to develop understanding through different approaches with the help of their teachers. Learning math also takes encouragement from teachers because not all students are confident learning math.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest aspect of teaching math, to me, is to make it enjoyable and relatable. So many students hear bad things about math from parents, siblings, and even other teachers. I think it is so important to make the subject relate back to students every day lives and find a way to make them see why they are learning the topic at hand. Encourage positive attitudes towards math. It is also important to encourage different ways of learning in math and show students that they do have ways to mold the class into something that fits them better.

Teachers should approach teaching math in the mindset to challenge, encourage, and help students better understand the material.

Learning mathematics requires students not to solely memorize information but retain and be able to fully understand. Lightbulb moments as we call them.

Learning math is different for every student. It can be very intimidating to learn new forms of math. When learning, I think students should have the freedom to work each problem out by how it makes sense to them. I also support a lot of group work in math. This allows students to get ideas from their peers and may even give them a way of working that they enjoy even more.

# data[].attributes.body
While learning mathematics is inteded for the students, it is also important for the teacher to fully understand the concepts he or she will be teaching. Continued education and professional development will ensure that a teacher is fully equiped to deliver accurate instruction.

Anyone can be good at math if taught the right way! Some may take longer to understand each concept, but with good efforts and teaching that is tailored to their abilities and learning style, it is definitely possible to learn and even excel in mathematics.

In order to teach math the teacher must have patients with their students. Math can sometimes be a harder subject for students to grasp so patients is very much needed. It is also important for the teacher to understand that their are more ways than one to solve a problem so letting students explore those different solutions is important. This way they can decide which methods they best understand and work for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Mathematics is different for everybody. I believe it all comes down to basics. If you don't learn the basics at the beginning, you will forever struggle and be behind. I believe it's important to gradually learn the way math works and it will gradually increase your knowledge.

Modeling different approaches in order to help all students understand in their own way. Teaching math in a way that students can relate to using in real life and making math enjoyable to learn.

Since math builds on itself, it’s important to understand the why along with the how. Just memorizing skills will not help later on when the fundamentals are needed to solve a problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Teaching mathematics shouldn’t be focused on having students memorize equations, formulas, or answers because it doesn’t lay a good foundation in my opinion. When all a student is doing is memorizing it makes building on that concept more difficult to comprehend. So when we teach it should focus on explaining the “why” and ways to understand the whole concept without too much memorization because sometimes a little memorization may be required.

When teaching mathematics I think it is important to be flexible with your students in showing them different strategies to solve a problem. All students learn in a different way, and what may make sense to one student may not make sense to another. Students should leave our classrooms feeling confident in the skills they learned and ready to build on those skills in the years to come.

Learning mathematics should be challenging rather than easy. To some, the numbers just make sense and they thrive in the class. While to others, math is challenging and something to work towards. What all learners have in common is that they are trying to find a solution to a problem and there are many ways to solve it depending on the person.

I think that both procedures and developing understanding are important in teaching math, students need formulas, but they should know why they use the formulas they are using! Developing understanding is vitally important for student learning in Math as well.

We need to grow as a whole to teach students why we are teaching them rather than to just show up on Thursday and take this test and move on to the next unit. Everything factors in and builds on each other in math.

It is important to develop understanding when teaching mathematics rather than just giving procedures and memorization. Developing and understanding is more important because it allows students to solve the same types of problems no matter the numbers/information given and helps apply these skills to future ones. Teachers should challenge students after giving a good foundation on each skill and teach in a way that is tailored to each student's learning style.

# data[].attributes.body
All students should believe they are capable to learn and be good at math! The diversity of the brains and strategies in a classroom should be celebrated instead of squashed into one, and this could provide great opportunities for collaboration among peers while learning math.

I think learning mathematics takes practice. Therefore it’s not memorization but actually comprehending what you are being taught. It may not be the easiest but it is something that with practice and good teaching you can learn it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when teaching math, teachers should explain many different ways to work problems. When we only give our students one option, it can make them feel trapped or even less than if they do not understand that particular procedure. As teachers, it is our job to help our students feel confident in their skills. We should cater to each individual student and try many different ways of working out problems.

Teachers should encourage and challenge their students because that’s how they’ll gain and expand their knowledge. No one likes being confused or struggling but the reward is greater when you had a hard time and then succeed.

Teachers should focus on encouraging students to develop an understanding of mathematics as a whole. The point of "teaching" is to ensure that students are grasping the concept of why we do things a certain way and how we do them. In order to do this, teachers need to learn and understand how each student learns best.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Mathematics is tougher for some than others. I was a person that always had to put extra work in by myself with the teachers and other tutors just to get by. Whatever you have to do to learn instead of memorize is the best thing to do.
