Advise Please about teaching math?We Answered:
Have you tried algebraic methods or simply leaving an adden blank to help her bridge the gap between addition and subtraction? If she understands that 6+6=12 then try showing her 6+_=12 and see if she can figgure that out. Tell her subtraction is just like finding the missing answer to an addition problem. These are called families. 6, 6, and 12 are in a family and so if one is missing in an addition or subtraction problem, you need to simply look for the missing member of the family. Keep letting her use the blocks. Cuissenaire rods are actually wonderful tools for teaching math. If you do not have those, I would recommend them. If you simply can't get them, line up 12 equally-sized blocks and then line up 6 blocks underneath. Show her visually how 6 are missing. The numbers 6,6, and 12 are a family. Then line up 9 blocks under the 12 and show her how 9, 3, and 12 are part of a family. Let her continue with the blocks as long as she needs. The neat thing about Cuisenaire rods (cheapest place I know to purchase them is www.rainbowresource.com ) is that each numerical amount is represented by a different colored rod. There are 10 different rod sizes. The child will begin to know that an orange rod, for example, represents 10. Children who identify numerical amounts by colored rods tend to see the answer more clearly in their minds. I have a niece who is in her sophomore year at a Lutheran University in Texas and she still imagines numbers by their colors. By the way, she is excellent at math. ;) I also want to assure you that working with manipulatives in not merely something for kids under eight years of age. Cuisenaire rods can be used to explain algebraic equations just as well as to they can be used to show equalities or simple addition. They are a very good investment, but more than that, manipulatives can be used at the start of every new concept reguardless of the age and maturity of the child. The more senses you incoporate into the learning process, the better and quicker and easier the child will learn. Don't feel that you are doing her a disservice by letting her use manipulatives in math.Ross Said:
What particular topic in high school Math can be taught with the Montessori Method?We Answered:
I teach trigonometry using the Montessori approach. But my trig board would not be easy to make. On the other hand, you could create charts of the circle showing the trig relationships with each color-coded. Have one chart completely labeled and a second without labels. Then have a set of labels that can be placed on the unlabeled chart. This works very well, even for middle school students.Dorothy Said:
What math should a new school entrant know? What should I be teaching him. He is 4 plus years now.?We Answered:
Just start with the basics of counting; recognizing numbers, shapes and colors; simple addition and subtraction; terms like bigger/smaller, more/less, same/different, etc.You can teach most of this through everyday life situations like cooking, sorting laundry, putting cans in a grocery cart, etc. There are also simple workbooks that may help. My kids really enjoyed Kumon workbooks.

Am I qualified to create and publish credible educational curriculum materials?We Answered:
GO FOR IT...I am a SPED teacher and working (slowly) on a book that will help give perspective that college totally blows at doing. Your credibility is your degree and years experience. If you can make it, use it in your class with success, you can market it as your own.You don't need any PHD to be a writer or a curriculum developer. If you have a curriculum coordinator in your district, work with him/her to make sure it meets all the standards it should.
GOOD LUCK. Sounds cool.

Is there a place in teaching for people with ADHD?We Answered:
Of course, there is a place in teaching for people with ADHD. I know many teachers who have learning disabilities and learning difficulties. Children with ADHD need teachers who understand how to best address their learning disabilities and difficulties. You have personal experience. Also, you will have to certified by a government body and a college or university. There will be numerous steps where people can help you refine your goal and improve your skills. Also, there are many types of teachers. Not all teachers are in classrooms with lots of students. There are options for you.Vickie Said:
