The information learned in watching the video will change my teaching style by inspiring me to provide positive music and math activities for my students. From the video, I learned that upbeat and happy music is better than slow and sad music. The music I play now is a mixture of calming music, but I want to make sure that I have an upbeat tempo to now encourage positive experiences and success.
In my classroom, I need to provide more opportunities for students to estimate. This may mean just showing a picture and having students estimate how many. This can be a daily activity to help engage the brain, especially since estimation skills are shown to help students succeed in the later grades.
I also want to play more games that incorporate math. When the activity is fun, students are much more engaged and learn more than when they are given a worksheet. This can be a quick and daily activity to warm students up before we get into the math lesson.
Hi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteSuper visual for this blog :)
I'm glad that this information was inspiring! I like that there are easy things (adding in music, adding in some estimation) we can do that can make a difference. Sometimes we might not see the positive results right away, but long term these are helpful for our students.
