The Teach Back for Algebra and Prealgebra
This was written in response to the following question:
Can you help me with tips on teaching algebra?
I start next week teaching Algebra and Pre-algebra part time. I may think the gubject is great, but I'm looking for ideas on how to get the kids 'hooked', and help them continue to embrace teh subject with enhusiasm. So I'm looking for ideas and for classroom tools, etc. And I'd like a network to seek input & help as needed throught the fall.
Hi Steve: Best to you on teaching algebra and prealgebra. How long are the blocks? A variety of instruction can work well and keep kids engaged -- lecturing, working in groups on the same worksheet, working with calculators, Power Point, chalk-and-talk, and especially the Teach Back. The Teach Back is working in groups on different content. It is a very effective tool for review and test prep as it engages students to be responsible for their own learning. Working in groups (each with a unique Math opportunity), students solve problems, write solutions and present their findings to the entire class. As each group finishes, they are given the entire packet of problems so that they can learn from one another and maxmimize performance on their exam. By increasing participation and fostering a culture of teamwork, learners improve their skills and test scores while building confidence and camaraderie. Please see the two attached links. Thanks, Robin the Math Lady
