I'm going to try those math bins... it sounds better than rotations to me! Thank you!

[@alexandrahvojnik5218]

Thank you so much for these videos! Super helpful. I always feel like centers are so complicated and I dread doing them but the way you explained it made them sound pretty simple!👍🏽💗

[@kimberlydickison8890]

Thanks so much !! The math video is so helpful! I am going to set up my math block the same way! I love all of your print and play math games!

[@greicerezende2792]

Great video! Thanks ⭐!!! My Math blocks have 45 minutes only. I would love it if you could record a video about Calendar time - Morning MTG 😊

[@randeescott9760]

This is AWESOME! I have watched so many of your videos and I think this one is my most favorite. Thank you for ALL that you do. You always have such great ideas and I enjoy learning new ideas from you. You are so appreciated!!!!!

Hello 👋

[@patsyrogalski8658]

Thank you,Love your setup for math.

[@MallorySetzer-fk4qq]

This was so helpful! I have a 60 minute block for math.

[@stephaniecantwell2681]

I love your ideas and this video. As far as the math partners, do you group them by the same level or mix a high and low?

[@marcellabailey7702]

Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲.....in first grade, we're allotted 1 hour.

[@ritaconley9544]

How do you work in reteaching a skill for a student who was absent when you taught a new skill?

[@coreyblackburn9953]

Do you have any tips for double graded classrooms for math. I have one hour to teach both first grade and second grade math

[@rebekahduncan8403]

I'm in first grade. My school administrator decides the schedule. I have about 60 mins for math, but it's cut in half for lunch and specials on some days.

[@BellaBella-jw9ef]

I’m always looking for a more efficient and effective way to run my math program. I do like the bins as it provides flexibility for me. Any tips on noise management? I find that volume during math block because of their excitement over the games can be really loud.

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Great question! Truly this comes with a lot of practice and reinforcement, you could try having some sort of noise level chart in your room. I always make it clear that during this time I am meeting with my groups at my back table so everyone should be at a “normal indoor talking voice level” so I can still hear my group And if it gets too loud I usually use some sort of signal, like a wind chime to remind students to lower their voice levels. Also I really try to have students spread out far away from one another when playing the games so they have their own space and their voices aren’t competing with other groups!

[@BellaBella-jw9ef]

@@SusanJonesTeaching Wow! Thanks for your prompt response!! It’s hard to squelch enthusiasm 😊

[@petrofor3430]

Petro needs help for his sample lesson plan and this made it more confusing lmaoooooo

[@jenniferno5498]

When will your Math Club be open again?

[@sarahstyle99]

45 min to and hour and then 40 minutes of small group 2x a week!

[@suzannecloud8859]

I will be a teaching half day k and we are allotted 30 minutes
