Dot Card - Number Talks
This is a set of number talk dot-cards.
Dot-cards are a good introductory activity for introducing number talks to your students. Number talks are a great activity for students to do to help assist them with their number sense. The basic idea behind number talks is to have students discuss various ways to solve calculation problems. Dot cards help introduce that concept to students by allowing them to be able to visualize different ways to groups objects together.
To use them you simply s

Basic Facts Mastery Practice
The basic facts practice pages are a quick, daily, facts practice program designed to encourage automaticity within a student’s numeracy knowledge.
With this program you will be able to automatically provide for differentiation within this single self-contained 10 minute activity.
All facts practice pages contain 70 questions and are expected to be answered within seven minutes and thirty seconds. The students should then correct their own papers and record the results in a graphical manner

Number Talk - Addition with Animation
This is a PowerPoint presentation with animation that I have created to help my students and other teachers with doing number talks. This presentation asks for students to solve an addition problem in three different ways. Once you have given your students an appropriate amount of time, you can click forward through the animations which will show the students examples of different ways to solve the problems. They are then asked to share the methods that they came up with other students. Abou

Do you know what the Item Specifications are? If you are teaching within the states that use the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, SBAC, assessments then I hope you know about the Item Specifications. These are freely available documents, but I have found they are becoming more challenging to find them online. What is so wonderful about the Item Specifications is that they not only show you examples of questions that will be on the summative assessment, but they also explain how the ite

This is my 30th year in mathematics education. I currently teach 8th grade mathematics and have spent the majority of my career in middle school settings. Over the years, I’ve taught a wide range of courses including 5th grade self-contained, 6th grade math, pre-algebra, algebra, math intervention, and math enrichment. My experience reflects a deep commitment to supporting students at various levels of mathematical understanding.
Teaching style
Over the past two years, I have transformed my approach to teaching mathematics by fully embracing the Building Thinking Classrooms framework developed by Peter Liljedahl. My students work in small, randomly assigned groups at vertical whiteboards placed around the room. This method is the foundation of my instruction—not just an occasional problem-solving activity—and is used to deliver nearly all of the course content. The result is a vibrant classroom energized by music, movement, and deep mathematical thinking.
