November Blog: Math in Everyday Life: Real-Life Examples for Elementary Students

Math in Everyday Life: Real-Life Examples for Elementary Students

This month's blog is Math in Everyday Life: Real-Life Examples for Elementary Students .

Math is all around us, yet it's one of the hardest subjects for students to succeed in. Math anxiety plays a major role in learners' math success. This phenomenon makes it hard for students to master math concepts. Incorporating math into everyday activities is an effective way to lower that stress. Follow these strategies to help your child build math fluency.

Guest Blogger Sophia Birk, is our guest blogger this month. As a teacher and a parent, she believes incorporating math into everyday activities is vital to help kids build their relationship with math.

      TECHNOLOGY TIPS


      1. 10 Lessons Learned from 10 Years of Coaching K–12 Educators:
        The role of instructional coach is a complicated position in education. It requires flexibility, self-reflection and a thick skin. Instructional coaches often work with the entire faculty of a school building — or, in some cases, an entire district. Just as teachers modify instruction each year when new students enter their classrooms, coaches modify their practices to meet the needs of different educators. This requires a coach to understand not only pedagogy but adult learning theory as well.
