Here is a sample of 2nd grade student work. I love this piece of work. What do you think this student understands about combining and subtracting numbers?

Meet the Math Coach


Hi, I'm Polly Wagner, Shutesbury Elementary School's Math Coach. This is my fourth year in the position. One teacher described my work as "Someone who works with classroom teachers developing their skills and math teaching practice. She observes children working on math problems and brings the observations to the children's math discussions. She helps us to see the math in a deeper way." I love listening to children's math ideas.
I work at the school 50% time and additionally provide monthly professional development for the entire staff.

Introduction

Hello!

This is my first time being a "blogger".  My intent is to share student math work.  I find it totally interesting and I'll bet you will too.  As soon as I learn how to scan and post work, we'll be up and running.
