I am also a first year 7th grade math teacher. it is a struggle with the kids thinking i’m their friend and some of them saying disrespectful things to me. i feel that so hard! so much learning has been done and so much growing. i hope you finish off that year strong!

[@EatShredSleep87]

What kind of disrespectful things have they said. Please elaborate because I’m trying to scare myself away from this career choice.

[@stilloj3070]

Same problem, this is my first year as a teacher, where girl students think me as their friend and taking more advantage of me as well as very clingy and on other hand boy students tease me and they are not respecting me.

[@iluvphilly4]

@@EatShredSleep87 i mean it has its moments of course; but overall you have to remember in the end that you are the teacher and you do have authority. just make sure you set up rules and boundaries at the very beginning and stick to them religiously!! they will still love you and enjoy your class cause they know you can get on their level but you do have to take a stand that you are the adult. it’ll get better over the months and you will learn and grow so much from each experience! i already have so much that i want to do differently next year ! but the good always outweighs the bad and it is definitely worth it. i resigned my contract to. one back next year. lol

[@affanbinsadiq]

hi Bekah how are you. i was also a 7th grade math teacher. now i am a college math teacher . the things i learned from kids classes are how to engage the class how to handle the naughty students and how to know everyone in class by copy checkings test result.

[@alexandraeurich9621]

I think this video was so nice to watch! Im currently in college trying to be a middle school math teacher, Algebra 1 for 7th grade. I can relate to your video and I’m glad I found it cause there are literally no other videos for middle school math. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@bernadettewisienski9701]

Me too

[@joanafernandes6316]

I'm also in college to be a teacher. Seeing this type of vlogs it's a motivation for me to keep going. I have 4 more years of college to go 💪🏻💕

[@lovelyblush1470]

When u try to become a teacher is it hard?

[@Novax-pd3zo]

theres algebra in 7th oh no

[@stephenjonguitud948]

I have so much love and respect for what you do on a daily basis during your school work yr!You are a very amazing person thanks for sharing.Also I think your are the absolute prettiest girl I've ever seen good luck yo you in life and the future Abbey!🙏🏼💕

[@mashailfatima7746]

I love your vlogs! You are an underrated teacher 🙂

[@breannemurrell3026]

Omg. You were hilarious with the gym fit bit! I'm majoring in what you do, and I'm a rising senior.

[@ShaiGirl00]

I love the classroom incentive goals.

[@jasminejanneth6857]

OMG AMAZING IDEAS⭐ I will hopefully start teaching next year!

[@jeannelle_]

Yes to a lot more behaviors and it’s only the beginning of November. I teach elementary kids and they def need to work on their social skills and communicating effectively in a respectful manner. A lot of work to be done, but we can do it!

[@theteachingromance]

Just found your channel. I love your incentive/feedback type of plan. Maybe this could be a solution for oral grades for participation by having a talk with the students afterwards and let them reflect on how they saw themselves in the class that day? Excited to try it when I am at school next year.

[@annabrin15]

I’ll do this classroom management tip! Thanks for sharing! 😘

[@oompaloompa23]

Takes guts to upload so kudos. Some feedback on the "gaining respect" issue with certain. students. Instead of saying " you have to respect me" (not sure with be beneficial to improve that teacher/student relationship). I would rephrase and say something like "let's try and improve with regards to being respectful. Part of improving that is on me as well so it is definitely effort on both ends and not just yours but mine as well as a teacher".

[@merveeedogan]

Hello Abbey! I’m turkish math teacher ,maybe we are live in a different countrey but ı am so happy watching u cannel 😊

[@ressenycva]

Yes, kids are behind in maturity.

[@gimyina87]

Thank you for the video. ^^ I'll come to watch the video more often from now on ^^

[@kimouyahgentles4886]

Hey. I'm a teacher in Jamaica and we are having behaviour issues as well. Social graces are waning since the students have resumed school after covid. I'm a math teacher as well 🙂

[@UlyssisBacharo]

Hi. I am a Math teacher in Thailand, and I just wanna say that I have noticed and I totally agree that students have behavior changes after covid19.

[@umisyifa]

That's Super Cool Abey🥰Have a great day. Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🥰🙏

[@arsh9096]

I love you vlogs you are understand teacher

[@IanPaulSaligumba]

Wow! I’m also a math teacher from the Philippines

[@anniesizemore3344]

When I was in school, the teacher had us trade papers and grade each other's pagers as she or he read the answers. All the teachers did that and they rarely graded the papers themselves. Except with tests. I think they would grade the test themselves.

[@dejuanjulien653]

I'm starting 7th grade in 3 weeks and I'm excited

[@lona7507]

This is so nice , Could you please tell me which app did u use for making this awesome presentation on pc ?

[@heylinbernath9537]

Im currently a first year elementary school (6th grade) teacher but thinking that I want to switch to a secondary math teaching position. In middle school do you have a grade level team to align and create assessments, units, lesson plans etc. together or do you create all of those by yourself?

[@keziawillsetaharrey.3401]

SOME TEACHERS LIKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BETTER THAN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL SOME OF THEM LIKE MIDDLE SCHOOL BETTER THAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL AND SOME OF THEM LIKE HIGH SCHOOL BETTER THAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IT'S TRUE BECAUSE EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.

[@bestreview2170]

Excuse my english...New subscriber, Really liked your day in the life video.. Luking forward to see u teaching your class! and feel free to vlog around people after all you're talking to us.. For now 200 to 300 🐩 people

[@nattaponabbett8369]

lol! I completely sympathize with your honest comment, "I totally hate grading." I'm a first-year Algebra 2 teacher and let me TELL YOU, between projects, assessments, homework etc., I'm so exhausted. Great vlog. Keep it up. Cheers. Yay math.

I'm gonna start teaching math and physics in english and English in a middle school on september ,and i'm sooo nervous , because i studied math and physics in arabic and french , so teaching them in english is a challenge , because i'll need to literally study all that in english , so i'm working on it , i feel scared , i'm all the like "what if i didn't give my students enough, how about missing something" i'm sooo nervous

[@akariooshella9229]

You’re not alone. I am not a teacher yet but I’ll be doing my first year in B.A in mathematics this coming month in Australia 🇦🇺. For the record, English is my second language and I’ll be teaching high school maths 🥴.

“Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬❤️❤️

[@Viewpoint314]

How mathematics should be more focused on practicality: Mathematics is a subject that is often viewed as dry, abstract, and disconnected from real life. This is in part due to the way it is often taught, with a focus on memorization and solving abstract problems that have little bearing on everyday life. As a result, many students end up hating math and seeing it as a pointless subject. However, mathematics is actually a very practical and useful subject, with applications in a wide range of fields, from science and engineering to finance and economics. By focusing more on the practical applications of math and less on abstract problem-solving, we can help students to see the value and relevance of this subject and to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of it. One way to make math more practical is to focus on real-world problems and examples. This can help students to see how math is used in everyday life and to develop a sense of purpose and motivation for learning it. For example, instead of assigning students a list of abstract algebra problems, teachers could give them problems that involve calculating the cost of goods, determining the best investment strategy, or solving other real-world problems that require math skills. Another way to make math more practical is to teach it in the context of other subjects.

[@lynnespringer6524]

Oh my! I taught in Cy-Fair~ I taught a different subject and now, I am changing to 7th and 8th grade math.

[@lynnespringer6524]

@abbeyintheclassroom Are continuing this year in the same school

[@abbeyy.wilsonn]

That's awesome! I'm at a different school now (a private school actually) but I enjoyed my time in Cy-Fair! Best of luck to you this year! Middle Schoolers are the best!

[@mathematicaleconomist4943]

​@@abbeyy.wilsonn Have you ever taken "Advanced Calculus"?

[@TiaoniaMichelle]

Hey! New Subscriber. How did you know you wanted to teach middle school students? And what made you teach Math? I am more good with ELA. Did you do Early Childhood Education or Teacher Prep?

[@abbeyy.wilsonn]

Hello! So I actually studied Civil Engineering in college. Teaching became a new dream of mine whenever I realized I wanted to leave corporate. I spent a year as a teaching aid at a high school while I got certified. That confirmed for me that I wanted to go to middle school instead of staying in high school. As far as subject, math was just always what came most naturally for me. So that's what I wanted to teach!
