Thank you, I hope you don’t mind if I grab your freebie, sometimes I help my grandkids with their math so I am here looking at how you are teaching math now-a-days. I remember doing grouping and sorting with my story problems as a child some 50 years ago. I guess maybe things haven’t changed . There was a time period I think teaching kind of got a bit lost but in some ways it seems to be getting back to the basics of teaching kids how to think. Thank you again I think this will help me with the kids.
Have a great week. Martha

Hi Felicia!

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and how this made you think more about keywords! They’re certainly not all bad, but I just think we have to be sure kids aren’t relying ONLY on keywords. And I’m so glad you’re able to find lots of fun resources here, I love sharing them. 🙂

I want to say Thank You for your endless resources and wisdom. I came upon this particular “Math Talk” at a time when I am teaching “Math Boot Camp” and assigned the higher level scholars. I am working on solving performance tasks which really are word problems and application and more!

You really made me think about keywords which is a huge focus of mine when I ask what the number clues are and the word(s) that tells what to do with those numbers. You are absolutely right that keywords can mean different things and are not absolute.

I really like your real to life examples, logic, and resources. I truly hope to purchase from you and not just use your freebies. You are more than generous and I thank you!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Felicia Barlow

These resources are great! I enjoy reading the tips and references even more!! As an educator coming back to teaching math after not doing so for several years, I feel empowered! Thank you for your selflessness. I am very appreciative and so are my students.
