Teaching Method for 3rd Grade Math

I think this Ms. Saul a 3rd grade teacher in this video gives a great way to teach math. In this video students work independently using a graphic organizer to solve a problem at least three ways and then present their solutions to their group and class. Ms. Saul emphasizes that mistakes are okay and encourages students to wrestle with problems independently to build their confidence in problem solving on their own, then to collaborate with their groups to see how others solved the problem, which helps students learn to interact with one another and that its ok to ask each other questions.

Faronic's

There is an awesome way for you to be able to control your students computers while in the computer lab its called Faronics. Its a computer system that lets you control your classes computer from your computer. This is great for some kids that need more help then others or to keep all of the children on the same page. It keeps them focused and engaged while getting the lesson plan done. It's also a great way to communicate and collaborate with your class. Just watch this clip and you can see for yourself.

Learning Styles

It is always important for teachers to teach to their students’ learning styles. Every student is different and that's why you have to incorporate all the different styles of learning. Down below are all the different learning styles, theres alot,  so I encourage teachers to try at least to teach using half of these learning styles.
