Check out these great teacher resources from Best Practices Weekly: *Volume 2, Edition 5 – Teaching Math Vocabulary Effectively Math-specific vocabulary can be tough to teach because of how technical it can get and the strange contexts in which it can appear. In an article for Teaching Children Mathematics, a pair of researchers discuss the 'when' and 'how' of effectively teaching math vocabulary. *Volume 2, Edition 6 – Using Higher-Level Questions in Reading Most teachers are familiar with Bloom's taxonomy, which details different levels of questions that promote different levels of thinking. But what is the most effective way to implement higher-order questioning in your literacy block? In an article for The Reading Teacher, two University of Minnesota faculty members discuss how to best make this happen. *Volume 2, Edition 7 – Going Beyond PEMDAS The vast majority of teachers use the PEMDAS rule to teach order of operations to their students. In an article for Teaching Children Mathematics, a professor of mathematics education discusses ways to go beyond PEMDAS to help students truly master the concept. *Volume 2, Edition 8 – Calculators as Effective Learning Tools In elementary classrooms, calculators are most often used to check computations or for simple practice. In an article for Teaching Children Mathematics, a group of researchers and teachers discuss concrete ways that calculators can be used as pedagogical tools which advance students' math understanding.
