Congr...I'm glad you were successful this year! Congratulations! Teaching for understanding in math is hard work!!<br /><br />I started off doing math wall every day as I had done for the past several years. As the year progressed, I started doing math wall only once a week. We did all of the slides in one day. That was mainly because I restructured the math skills part of my day to include more than just math wall. I need to blog about that soon! ;) I will consider doing a sequence. It is difficult because the specifics vary some year to year based on kids...but I'll see what I can come up with. Our district has a very very detailed layout of each quarter for math. I was on that writing team. It's available to the public to view <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/sdale.org/sps/divisions/curriculum-and-instruction/curriculum" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. But it might be helpful to teachers if I made a simplified version. I'll add it to my to do list!

I would like to know if you still do math wall everyday and follow your schedule that is in another post. I would definitely be willing to purchase a resource from you that shows the sequence that you teach everything in math throughout the year and what math practices you focus on each week. Thank you for sharing your ideas!!!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632195130453338208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699949251277141058.post-57097491740158512102014-10-05T14:18:06.209-05:002014-10-05T14:18:06.209-05:00Yes it is!

Just enough for them to start to see that the end is not always the answer {sometimes the beginning or middle of the story is missing!} I only had 8 kids that solved it appropriately. :) I really won't expect the majority of them to get it until sometime in the 3rd quarter. Until then, I just keep giving it to them every so often for exposure to different problem types!<br /><br />And sorry I'm replying late...this got lost in my email!Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986381982136673388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699949251277141058.post-5402740803480806242014-09-27T12:21:50.693-05:002014-09-27T12:21:50.693-05:00I love your math mysteries!
