A Constant Difference Subtraction Strategy Math Center
Math can be taught more like science is, now with all the work with analyzing different strategies to add and subtract. Let your students try to discover how and why the constant difference strategy for subtraction works, then provide a great example for when it's really better than an algorithm sometimes!

Teaching style
I always look to find a creative, multi-sensory angle in a lesson or concept and usually push my students to find and make their own meaning, which I confirm for them if/when needed. When students are begging "can we please do that again??!!" I know I've done my job! Having majored in art and education when I began my classroom teaching career, I've often tried to infuse the two. With the shift in math education over the past few years, I'm seeing the link more and more clearly every day!
