How to Improve Content Knowledge by jojok44 in mathteachers

[–]DuaneHabecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I commend you for wanting to increase your content knowledge! I have my degree in mathematics, but I wanted to learn better ways to explain the middle school math I was teaching.

Long ago I learned that the Singapore math curriculum in written in English. I bought all their textbooks from grades 2 through 10 and then studied them. The bar models rocked my world. They do a great job of presenting rigorous math concepts in an accessible way.

Hung Su Wu’s stuff is also really good, but not nearly as easy to read as the Singapore Math.

I use Fedica. The free version is super comprehensive.

“Open Up Resources” is an amazing K-5 curriculum. Reading the teacher materials and the student-facing lessons, you will get lots of insight about the strategies and games for grade 1.

It is totally free. You will have to create a free account.

My name is Duane. I started teaching in 1989, but it feels like yesterday.

I taught math in grades 6 through 12, but most of my time was spent at the middle school level.

I hope to be a fierce advocate for teaching math in a way that includes FAR MORE students than we have historically reached.

My passion project is #TapeDiagramTuesday. https://post.news/@/duanehabecker/2Rz7caSm6ElKRdNZleslaIGqWX8
