How to Be a Successful Math Student Classroom Poster
About Mid-year, I realized I was repeating myself to some students about what they need to be doing to show they are trying the best they can. I made this poster as a visual to point to whenever I started trying to remind them of where they are in their learning. After I hung this poster, I probably referred to it at least twice a day.

Problem Solving Competition
Want to motivate your students to WANT to improve at word problems???? Make it a class versus class competition if you teach multiple math classes.

Today's students need to get off the iPads and work more with paper and pencil.
