To Teachers with Love…

April 28, 2016 by Tammy Jones

In anticipation of National Teacher Appreciation Week, I sent out a quick survey to ask teachers to complete the following: “As an educator, I wish…”. I wondered how many teachers would ask for “stuff” vs how many other types of responses I would get. The results were surprising. Yes, I did get teachers who responded that they wished they had, “a classroom set of iPads”, “more computers for … [Read more...]

To Use Technology or Not to Use Technology? That should NOT be the question!

January 7, 2016 by Tammy Jones

But if it is the question, you need an answer that reflects putting students’ success at the forefront. I have been asked this question all too often recently by both administrators and educators at all levels. Of course, the technology they are usually referring to is the calculator. With the release of the Calculator Policy statements by PARCC and SBAC as well as state assessments such as the TN … [Read more...]

NCTM Boston

NCTM Boston Okta

Last week I had the privilege of attending the NCTM International Conference in Boston. It was a great time to catch up with old friends, such as Kay Wohlhuter from UMD who traveled to India five years ago with Johnny and Carolyn Lott - who I also got to catch up with in the author signing table at the NCTM booth. And the highlight of my time in the NCTM booth was meeting with Okta! Check out the … [Read more...]

Functional Fluency

April 20, 2015 by Tammy Jones

I just returned from NCTM Boston. What a great week! I got to catch up with a lot of old friends and made several new ones as well. My co-author, Leslie Texas, and I did a session on one of our strategies from our book series What's My Move: A Kinesthetic Multisensory Approach to Graphing - (although in the book series we call it Walk This Way). During the session I used the term functionally … [Read more...]

The Top 5 Reasons for Using Manipulatives in the Classroom

Have you ever asked or said or heard a fellow educator ask or say… “Exactly what constitutes a manipulative?” “I have some of these manipulatives in my closet, but do not have a clue how to use them!” “How do I find the time to use manipluatives in the classroom when I have so much […]

Happy National National Chocolate Day: October 28thChocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day: October 28th My grandmother always said, “God was in a good mood the day He created chocolate!” I grew up thinking that chocolate was a basic food group! And, I admit, chocolate is one of my weaknesses. What does National Chocolate Day have to do with mathematics!   Well – where’s the math? […]

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids. 

Many presentations talked about problem solving and the benefits of giving students higher level thinking problems, but yours was the only one that really told us how to teach it and scaffold it for students, rather than just modeling what problem-solving looks likes.  Thanks.
