Hi Kristen,
I’m sorry I never replied to your seek for help. I was in the middle of a transition from one school to the next and couldn’t find the document I had linked to the post about probability. I thought […] -

I’m sitting here in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia at the 2011 EARCOS Teacher’s Conference following an all day session on “Visual Thinking and Literacy.” The premise of the session was that communication occurs just as […] -
Allison Nave wrote a new blog post: Wired Brains 1 year, 7 months ago
During this past summer, I took an online class called ” How the Brain Learn Mathematics .” The class was based on David A. Sousa’s book and was offered through Learner’s Edge (a program with several classes, geared towards teachers, taught by teachers). I have recently been extremely interested in how our students’ brains are wired and this class [...] -
Allison Nave wrote a new blog post: To Flip or Not to Flip? 1 year, 7 months ago
In the MS mathematics department at JIS, we believe in tiered instruction, challenge by choice , and tiered assessments .. and that is exactly what we offer to every student that walks through our classrooms. We offer one math class at each grade level, but within that class, we offer our students three differentiated levels (green, blue, black) [...] -
Allison Nave wrote a new blog post: Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century 1 year, 7 months ago
What does it truly mean to teach/learn in the 21st century? Education has had a complete makeover since I was a student … and even as a teacher, I still feel that I’m a learner in my own classroom. Everyday, I learn something new, usually related to technology. And often times, I am learning the [...]

Allison Nave wrote a new blog post: Student-Created MathCasts 1 year, 7 months ago
This is the second year that I have asked my grade 6 students to create a MathCast based on one specific topic that they have learned during the year. It is my favorite project from the year because it’s amazing to watch and listen to these 11 & 12 year old students “teaching”.My plan is [...]

Thanks for your comments Nyoli! I also find it interesting that your students didn’t use many visuals in there projects. Do you think it’s because it takes longer to find “good” visuals that connect well? I’m wondering if your directions stated that the project must contain visuals, and possibly visuals that actually help teach the [...]

Allison Nave commented on the blog post Finding time…If only I had 10 more hours in the day! 2 years, 1 month ago
I totally concur! If only we had more time. And you, like me, are always searching for ways to create the best lesson that the kids will learn best from. And believe me, you are doing a great job … but want it to be better. It sounds as if you get frustrated with the [...]

As I begin to explore new ways to teach math lessons with a visual focus in mind, I have created an activity that I am going to attempt to use with my grade 6 students. In this lesson( attached here ), I will present the students with a variety of pictures, starting with faces and then moving [...]

Nowadays, there is so much talk about brain research, and rightly so, since modern technology has discovered so much more than we’ve ever known about “the brain.” I’ve spent some time looking into attending conferences about brain research, but they tend to be generally focused. But what I am really interested in is how the brain [...] -
Allison Nave commented on the blog post World Maths Day 2 years, 1 month ago
Thanks for your comment Linc! I guess it just happened to be the autonomy, purpose and mastery that motivated the students in this specific contest. Ironically, I met some of the teachers from your school at the EARCOS conference and really enjoyed their company … their names were Brent and Sheryl. Sounds like you all [...]

Hi Grant, Thanks for your comments! I appreciate your suggestions, and ironically, my students are currently working on their own MathCasts right now. This is the second year in a row I have had my students create these, and actually spoke about them in a previous post here. (You can find a few links here too.) [...]

Hi Jen, thanks for your comment! I just spent some time reading your blog post on “Pi”, and found it so interesting. I love that you are incorporating math into your music class … as well as all of the other subjects you integrate as well. You sound like an amazing teacher, and I’m sure [...]

Hi Lance, Thanks for your comments! It’s so nice to know that someone is actually reading my blog. As for what you’re doing in regards to digital storytelling in math, I am extremely interested in hearing more about that. In addition, I would love to see some of the examples you have collected from your [...]

I tried something new this year with my students … World Maths Day ! What a success! I introduced it as something I wanted to try and wanted them to try, but didn’t have much information to provide the students. They continued to ask more and more questions, but to no avail, walked away with no answers from [...] -

I’m starting to think about what I need to pack for my two-week vacation to Vietnam. While there, my husband and I will visit 7 different cities.
