It's teachers sharing best practices. Most every state has a branch of NCTM National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that provides programs from preschool through high school. It's very motivating. Or read a book on math-teaching ideas by folks like John Van de Walle, Marilyn Burns, Susan O'Connell, or other leading math educators.

Mathematics teachers can work for middle or high schools at public, charter and private schools but can teach any grade level, depending on their qualifications.

Today math teachers during the school year while teaching mathematics should use some advantageous instructional methods, which are advocated now for teaching mathematics using concrete-representational-abstract CRA model for teaching mathematics, as follows First educators need to start with concrete using hands-on manipulatives like

Teaching tips. Teach students to analyze a word problem and identify the pattern. Identify for students the unique features of each type of problem. Explicitly teach the math vocabulary needed for that problem. Show how to represent the information using a concrete representation first and then a visual representation.

My name is Duane. I started teaching in 1989, but it feels like yesterday. I taught math in grades 6 through 12, but most of my time was spent at the middle school level. I hope to be a fierce advocate for teaching math in a way that includes FAR MORE students than we have historically reached. My passion project is TapeDiagramTuesday.
