I want to know if you have to be taskmaster and treat students poorly to teach high school students math.?We Answered:
The more that a teacher appreciates their students and treats them with respect the better the performance from the students. Often students do not like a new teacher who expects the best from their students. Eventually the students will like that teacher and perform well.I had one of the best programs in the state I was in when I taught high school but it did not start so well at first. At first some of the students did not like me and made it rough for me until they took the first three places at their first competition. When that happened it was like feeding corn to chickens.
I tend to be an autocratic teacher while others are laissez faire or democratic. I have a friend who is a laissez faire which would not work at all for me. You have to be yourself and not try to be someone you are not. You must lead in a way that is typical of who you are. However laziness should never be allowed to reign. Good teachers expect their students to give their best and help them achieve it by believing in them. Once that happens the climate will dramatically change.

Does anyone have a successful way of teaching basic math facts to students?We Answered:
Make it fun.My kids love to play MATH war. Of course it only works for addition and multiplication. You use a standard deck of cards and divide the cards equally between 2 students. Each student flips a card and whoever (adds or multiplies) them correctly first gets the cards. We specify ahead of time whether we are adding or multiplying. Also we make the jokers worth 0 and I let them choose the values of the face cards- some make them 10s or 11s, others use more of other numbers.
Students just need to MEMORIZE them, and practice them.
I understand where some of you are coming from with the touchmath and other "strategies" I am guessing you teach 2nd and 3rd grade. My 4th and 5th graders use those methods and it takes them 10 minutes to do one story problem. I see where those might be great ways to teach it initially and work good when the whole problem presented is 5 x 4, but at the end of the day - they NEED them memorized. I can't spend half my class period waiting for them to figure out 6 x 7. Also, about understanding the concept of multiplication. I get and understand that. I am not quite positive about this - but I think I would almost rather address that AFTER they know their facts. I can't explain just how important it is in the upper grades (which by our standards start in 4th grade) for them to know their facts instantly because we are doing multi-step problems. I might need them to multiply 125 x 7 then subtract some amount and multiply by something else. It takes them too long counting dots. (I don't speed test these kinds of things - I just think a student should be able to do more than 3 problems in a 30 minute time frame - our achievement tests have time limits.)
