While I don’t teach math, the title of this blog post from WeAreTeachers caught my eye. After I finished reading it, I recognized the difference a few small words (times versus groups of) could make in a student’s understanding. I wonder what small changes I could make in other content areas that improve pupil comprehension?
Comparing real life experiences with concepts taught in the classroom deepens the learning. For example by showing an egg carten with two rows of six or six rows of two might help to teach the concept of multiplication to young children.
