Whenever you have time this week, please take a few minutes to answer this question. If you are unable to answer this prior to the meeting, you will have time tomorrow during the meeting.]]> 2017-10-11 10:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/195950526 lglover3 https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/195950610 I enjoy reinforcing the idea that each brain processes math differently and that we can each learn new ideas and methods by listening to how other people solve the same problem. I also really love when children work through their own disequilibrium/confusion and have an "AHA" math moment.]]> 2017-10-11 10:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/195950610 https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196195048 I absolutely love mathematics and I find it exciting and interesting. I enjoy fostering that same excitement and enjoyment in my students and watching them work towards a solid understanding of mathematical concepts (not just memorizing steps!) Also I believe fostering a love of mathematics at an early age is crucial for girls' learning and confidence in the field. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196195048 https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196200766 I love the "aha" moment when a student truly understands a concept after grappling with it, encouraging students to have/need a growth mindset. I also love that math builds on itself and forces students to be accountable for their own learning.]]> 2017-10-11 19:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196200766 https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196201090 I love the flexibility that comes with mathematics and problem solving. In the younger grades, it is exciting to see how different children process, internalize and make meaning of numbers, their relationships, and properties. Teaching math allows for hands-on, brains-on experiences which differ with each student. I love making math fun and accessible. It's rewarding when the girls say, 'Yay! Math!" ]]> 2017-10-11 19:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196201090 https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196201196 I enjoy that "AHA" moment. I also enjoy how there are multiple ways to solve problems and having students teach each other.

I enjoy watching students build understanding through problem solving. I especially love listening as students work discuss math with one another.]]> 2017-10-11 19:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lglover3/eu1mf0grp4nz/wish/196201585
