My Two Math "Repair Manuals"

I could not possibly begin talking about Math in my classroom without mentioning two of the best Math Resources ever written!  Although my specialty is Math, I still think Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally by John A. Van De Walle, Karen S. Karp, and Jennifer M. Bay-Williams is a must have resource.
I go to it whenever I have a question about how to teach a concept with my students.  I have corrected many misconceptions as well as avoided problems by going to this book before teaching the big ideas with my students.

My new favorite, which has quickly joined the Van de Walle book is Math Work Stations:  Independent Learning You Can Count On, K-2 by Debbie Diller.



I have created Missing-Part Cards to go with Activity 8.19 in the Van de Walle book.  My students were having difficulty with understanding part and whole.  With these cards, I think they will really be able to "see" the concept.

    I am getting ready to do a PLC with the teachers in my school using Debbie's math stations book. I am the math coach, and trying desperately to get them to do stations. This was the best way for me to get the interest out to them! I love your ideas, and they will give me ideas to show them how to get started! Thank you so much for sharing!
