    I love the notice and wonder step and I think this is so important to draw students in. There is so much information in this workshop that I find valuable. Students are going to build grit on the hero’s journey. Grit is such an important trait that humans need and parents and teachers have a difficult time watching kids struggle, but it is beneficial in our lives. Some of the spiraling and assessment ideas I am already doing, but I am definitely going to continue to put more into practice. I really want to implement standards based assessment. I have shared some of the ideas with my co-teacher and we are looking forward to building strong math students this year.

    The graphics you used helped me put things into perspective a little better. This is definitely going to be a change in thinking, but I think if I’m flexible this will be very beneficial to students.

    I have a workbook that does a great job of spiraling. As a fourth grade teacher, I used it for our warm up. Now that I’m moving to 5th grade and have a smaller amount of time, I am going to try to shorten the daily exercises. I love that it allows me to see the concepts students are already comfortable with and allows me to teach and go in depth where students most need it. I have seen many benefits to having the standards spiraled. Students get multiple chances to practice and it has helped with retention of skills.

    As a fourth grade teacher, I have tried songs, using arrays, multiplication charts, and base-ten blocks to try to help students visualize what is happening when we multiply. This works for some students. What other ways can I use to help students build automaticity? I learned by the drill method with flash cards and I remember the pain of it to this day!

    I found this really difficult to do since we are not in school and I’m not sure that I captured the steps correctly. I’m attaching my worksheet.
