I have never been a fan of math and I certainly have not had many teachers who showed they enjoyed math either. It is refreshing to see that we are now trying to change the past and make for a better future for students who prefer mathematical thinking over other things.

Not all students learn by just memorizing and then performing on a test. Some students are more visual. Some are auditory and some are kinesthetic. How, as the teacher, are you going to make sure you meet the learning needs of every student? Showing students the ways they can learn material makes for a better learning environment because they are guided in the right direction of success.

Students will only view a topic as important if you also view it as important. It is vital that you express a positive attitude and environment when you speak about math. You also need to be the one who encourages them the most! Allowing them the confidence will benefit them throughout their math career because they will truly feel like they can complete anything.

Not every student learns the same. As a teacher, it is our job to figure out how we can best teach our students and find the most effective way for them to learn. This can mean that you provide many alternatives to the lesson or split students into groups based on their level of understanding. You need to use your knowledge in teaching the subject in an effective way for all students. Some students may get bored because what they are learning/what assignments you give are too easy. It can be the same for students who believe their work is too hard. We need to figure out the balance where everyone is getting the information they need.

To help students best develop mathematical understanding is to not have them just memorize formulas and how to do applications, but to have them understand the how and why they got the solutions they did. An idea to help develop deep understanding is by using real life examples so they can use that comparison in their life and see the connections made. Connections are the most important ways for students to gain a deeper understanding of the math topics.

When teaching math there are many strategies to implement for students to be successful and gain a deeper understanding of the topics. As a teacher it is important to remain positive while teaching math and always encourage your students instead of just telling them they are wrong. It is also important to incorporate different teaching techniques for example relying on more visuals or doing more hands-on activities. Students need to believe they are capable of doing math so it is important to help and encourage them that everyone can do math.

It is important for us as teachers to allow students to have their creative minds within the classroom. Allowing this will provide them with the opportunity to have a deep understanding and confidence within their math careers. Without this understanding and confidence, math will be deemed as unimportant to the student. Teachers can build on that confidence by providing the tools necessary for the student to succeed.

As teachers it is so important to know your students their areas of strengths and weaknesses, their likes, and dislikes, and how to provide them with the best opportunities to learn. Each student is different and comes from a diverse and they all have different needs. All students learn differently so it is important for teachers to use different strategies to help students learn best. Teachers need to provide help for student’s individual needs which is why it is so helpful to know your students.

Math is such a crucial topic for students to learn, this learning is not memorization but actual understanding and making sense of the problems and solutions. Students should be able to understand how they got an answer and why that is the answer. Math is important for students to understand because it is used daily inside and outside of school. It is important for students to understand the importance of math and it should be enjoyable for students. Students should be curious and want to learn more and by creating an enjoyable math learning environment.

It's immensely important as the teacher to know all of your students inside and out. This way, the teacher can allow for an equal opportunity for all students to be successful no matter who they are or what they're going through. Lessons should be applicable for all students, and extra help should be provided for any student who is struggling with learning the content to provide the most success possible. Elementary classrooms are vastly diverse, thus why it's important to provide the supports needed for each student to be successful in mathematics and in general.

In order to ensure the highest quality mathematics education for each student, teaching the content to the students in different ways as well as allowing the students to choose strategies that work best for them will allow for the most success possible. For example, showing multiple ways to solve a problem will give the students more opportunities to understand how to come across the solution to the problem, which in turn will make them more successful.

Mathematics should be taught in a way in which all students will have the ability to understand and be successful. For example, giving lectures to the class for every math lesson may not be the most productive way to enhance student success, so perhaps adding hands on activities to the lessons and implementing other ways to teach the content that resonates better with the students will promote more success amongst the student body.

It's important for students to learn how mathematics is so helpful in the real world, rather than just simply being something boring that they have to do in school. As future teachers, it's important that we teach students about the importance of learning math and how it can be applied to the real world. This way, students will find math more interesting and be able to connect it to their own lives.

Offering different types of ways to learn math is probably the number one way that you can deepen the understand of math. Not all students learn the same as we know, so we need to find the way that students can get the deepest level of understanding.

Your view of how you do at math and how you have been told you do at math will make a huge differnce in how you preform in math. Students need to be told that they are capible, and good at math.

Learning math should be presented as more of a skill that you need to learn and be good at rather then something overly difficult or a chore, which I feel like is one of the reasons teacher make it seem like we have to learn math
