I ran into a reminder of an interesting programming problem the other day. One I meant to use with students but never did. Other teachers I know do use it. Simply pot, how many possible combinations of coins are there that add up to a dollar. It’s easily solved with a set of nested loops like the ones below. int count = 0; for (int halves = 0; halves <= 2; halves++) { for (int quarter = 0; quarter <= 4; quarter++) { for (int dimes = 0; dimes <= 10; dimes++) { for (int nickels = 0; nicke

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Wow, wow, wow! My students finished their displays in time for Halloween after spending many, many hours working on them. Now, they are in display cases in the lobby of our elementary school. I am so proud of them and rightfully, they are very proud of themselves, too. They worked so hard on them. A little history. I love Food Channel’s competitions and Halloween Wars tops my list.

As children reach high school level, there is more of a selection when it comes to careers in STEM. Schools become more specialized at this level as opposed to a general understanding of STEM.

Kindness Challenge Day 4 - Just say thank you Today's suggestion is to just say thank you to the people around you. This simple gesture begins to reprogram your brain to think kindness. At the end of practice, you can say thank you to your coach. At school, say thanks at the end of your class to the teacher. I know as a teacher I rarely had students say thanks at the end of class.

A great week with some very creative work done by Ms. Hernandez, Ms. Maldonado, Ms. James, Ms. Martin, Ms. Lee, and Mr. Fakhreddine's classes! We started off strong with our Math Stories: Eric Carle's Rooster's Off to See the World , Marilyn Burns' The Greedy Triangle, and Ann Tompert's Grandfather Tang's Story. Students did a great job on the art activities and interactives, and, after an exploratory play day with the Bee Bots & Ozobots, the Robo-Retells we're a smashing success!

The Challenge. Beginning teachers need a lot of practice to develop classroom skills. We consistently see dramatic improvement in teachers’ impact on student outcomes during their first few years in the classroom (Atteberry et al., 2015; Kraft & Papay, 2014). However, this on-the-job learning is stressful for new teachers, and is associated with high levels of teacher burnout, attrition, and negative outcomes for students (Gavish & Friedman, 2010; Papay & Laski, 2018; Skaalvik &

How to Balance Chemical Equations A chemical equation is balanced when you have the same number of atoms for the reactants and the products. You can balance chemical equations by following these simple steps. Step 1. Draw a vertical line from the arrow. Step 2. Count the number of atoms for the reactants and the products. When you have a coefficient in front of one or more elements you multiply the coefficient for all of the elements.
