Teacher talks, students listen and complete worksheets. I can't wait to teach math next semester. Although, I will be teaching 6th grade, I plan to use all levels of books to teach concepts in math. It includes lesson ideas that deal with writing and becoming literate in the area of math. If I were hired to teach in classroom next week, I would defiantly have students write in a daily journal.
Teacher can use it as a form of assessment.
TSW develop writing and communication skills in not only the area of math but also grammar, etc Another technique that I have been taught is having students create stories using math lingo. The purpose of this will help me assess the student's level of understanding about these concepts. Sharing stories will be a necessity when developing oral communication. Group work will be often utilized. In these groups, ideas will be generated about writing and math.
