Math Matters

I am very excited to engage in the creation of this blog because I have always wanted to create one. I have often visited blogs and used them to keep up-to-date on the housing market, learn about housing and appliance repairs, diamond information, and various other topics. I would like to use this blog as a discuss/idea exchange network for Math Coaches. As a Math Coach for Local District 5, I feel that the creation of a blog, where coaches can exchange ideas, lessons, and discussions regarding their schools and how to help teachers would be an excellent tool. Topics to be discussed will center around: Implementation of mathematical concepts, issues with district mandated assessments, (which has been a huge problem since leaving edusoft), ideas and assistance regarding professional developments and lessons. I have so many ideas rolling around my head now. My ideas focus on my personal life as well as my professional life, it’s ridiculous.

Well I now have two blogs, one this reflection blog and my travel blog. I can see me having one for my students and maybe even one for teachers at our school. How fun would that be.

I'm the fifth grade math teacher at my school, so I have a feeling your blog will be very informative! Great job.

I look forward to the discussion on your blog! It will be a nice way to share strategies to deal with common issues in Math not only in LD5, but the entire district.
