Teaching Math with Examples
Some teachers think that there s little to say about teaching with examples after all, everyone uses them. But here are just some of the questions you might have about teaching with worked examples:
- How do we introduce an example?
- What do we ask students to do when studying a solution?
- Should a solution be presented all at once or revealed step-by-step?
- After we study an example, what comes next?
- Does it matter if the solution is presented as if from a fictional student, a real student in class, or from the teacher?
- How do we help students move from understanding someone else’s ideas towards using it on their own to solve problems?
- How do we write a solution in a clear way, that students can learn from?
- When is a good time to offer a worked example? When is it better to let students try a problem?
- Are worked examples more useful for some mathematical content than others?
This book will answer all of these questions. In some cases, research offers answers. Other questions represent gaps in the research literature and the book offers solutions arrived at through experience and trial-and-error and the author s own process of classroom problem solving.
Welcome to the world of teaching with examples!

A-Minute-A-Day Mental Maths 3rd Edition [UK}: 42 Photocopiable One Minute Challenges to Improve Mental Maths Skills
A-MINUTE-A-DAY is a series of three *precision- teaching based books, [Phonics. Mental Maths and High Frequency Words], which aim to improve basic reading and mental maths skills, in a challenging yet fun way. The books contain photocopiable games, each one focusing upon a specific group of letters, words or numbers. The aim of each game is for the child to give 30 correct verbal responses within 1 minute. NO WRITING SKILLS ARE REQUIRED. The games may be used by a teacher or parent to provide intensive practice in specific areas. Each page may be used repeatedly by the child for practice both in school and at home, and progress assessed by the teacher in just A-MINUTE-A-DAY. This approach has at its roots, a method known as *precision- teaching, which, since its inception in 1964, has been adopted by an ever increasing number of teachers, and its proven success in both mainstream and special needs education is indisputable. The value of precision- teaching lies in identifying a specific area of need for a particular child, followed by a daily period of teaching, testing and evaluating progress. Normally, this process would take around 10-15 minutes of completely undivided attention for a particular child. Whilst this can be considered a short enough period to offer any child, for a teacher without ancillary support and with multiple children requiring similar help, it can often be impossible to achieve. A-MINUTE-A-DAY offers a new methodology, which, by engaging parents as partners, enables teachers to offer their pupils tailored, systematic practice and monitoring of progress on a daily basis, whilst drastically reducing the amount of teacher involvement, ie it is a TEACHER TIMESAVER. Included at the end of each book are three content free games, which may be used by the teacher to create additional questions to suit an individual child, or to offer a game with high repetition for children who learn at a slower rate.Read more
