By Wendy S. Bray elling children that they can learn from their mistakes is common practice. Yet research indicates that many teachers in the United States limit public attention to errors during math- ematics lessons (Bray 2011; Santagata 2005). Some believe that drawing attention to errors publicly may embarrass error m

Develop a deep understanding of mathematics. This user-friendly resource presents grades 3-5 teachers with a logical progression of pedagogical actions, classroom norms, and collaborative teacher team efforts to increase their knowledge and improve mathematics instruction. Focus on an understanding of and procedural fluency with multiplication and division.

Effective mathematics teaching is required to improve mathematics education. The experience that the teachers provide shape the students' understanding and their ability to use mathematics in their daily lives. This research study was carried out by a few UCF faculty members, as well as some from other colleges and universities. It focused on pre-service elementary school teachers and their ability to contextualize and decontextualize fraction subtraction problems by both writing problems and choosing problems that support given expressions.

This website provides standards-based resources that improve the teaching and learning of mathematics for all students.

Resources for teaching math. Lots of great lesson ideas for every grade level.

The Khan Academy website offers a free online collection of more than 3,600 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history, healthcare, medicine, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, economics, cosmology, and organic chemistry, American civics, art history, macroeconomics, microeconomics, and computer science.

Great math resource page with student samples and journal ideas!

eInstruction Workspace (comes with the Mobi, but I use it all the time instead of PowerPoint) Livescribe Desktop (free, but without the pen there isn't much you can do) Animationish (not free, but the most fun art animation program I have ever seen!) Hyperstudio5 (not free, but worth the minimum price - much more creative than PPT!)

This Website helps to learn and practice basic math functions including algebra, problem resolution skills, as well as methods of teaching students who feel frustrated with math. I think that this site provides enough information to learn and develop the skills of students in mathematics. Students can learn through private lessons individual or through a collective use of videos and with a forum for discussion with the experts.

This is a link to the abstract of an article I found through EBSCO by UCF Associate Professor Dr. Gina Gresham. The study she conducted is about the math anxiety levels of pre-service teachers before and after taking a specialized course on how to teach the subject using tools like manipulatives.

Hi Hope! I actually came across the same article. I find articles about math anxiety really interesting.
