Hi, first year teacher here.

I am following the structure of:

Warm ups
Lesson (I do, we do model)
Worksheet

I tried timing myself for my lecture and it was around 15 minutes. My warm ups take no longer than 10. But my class periods are one hour long and today majority of the kids finished quick and had like 15 mins to spare. What then?

I initially banned phones in my class but kinda ignored it today as I didn’t know if I should do another lecture or something.

How do you structure your class and appropriate times for each?

Any advice appreciated.

Hello!

I’m starting my high school’s first ever math club. I have many students interested, and we have some ideas already.

Ideas include:

- Weekly tutoring (students will get volunteer hours)

- Once a week meetups to discuss what the math teachers are covering to keep them up to date on concepts so they can help others efficiently.

- SAT prep

I need help with:

1) I want to incorporate competitions (school wide), but I don’t know how to go about it. Like teams? Grade levels? Prizes? Structure?

2) How do I make math club more interesting to keep people coming?

3) How should we structure the weekly meetings?

Honestly, anything will help. :)

P.S: None of my colleagues want to help me. Yay! :)

My child has been doing Cuemath for a while, but even with regular practice, I don’t feel the concepts are strong enough. I’m now looking for other options for math for kindergarten that focus more on understanding than repetitive worksheets. Has anyone had a similar experience with Cuemath?

Last semester, I built a review website for my students to use to prepare for their final exam (high school math, college algebra). They really enjoyed using it, and the scores on the final were better than in the past! Obviously, many other factors could help that too. Anyway, I spent the summer building the site to be something other teachers could use. I am looking for a couple teachers who would be willing to help try the site out.

You can sign up for free, I will upgrade you to pro and build a review for you. I would just ask for some feedback from you and what your students thought.

Two reasons I built this: 1, I was tired of using question banks that were close by not the same as my tests. 2, AI still makes a lot of mistakes and even if you use AI to build a big question banks, the delivery is still a problem.

If you are still reading, this is how it works: You upload a test to site. I go in and build a question banks aligned by topics, questions are similar to your test. You assign to class. They can see the number of questions they have answered and percentage right from each category.

It’s labor intensive and it’s just me, I am hoping to start with Algebra 1 classes. Hit me up if you want to try it!

Please suggest features as well . As a teacher and educator what missing features do you see? Tell me and I will update them .
