 Give evidence for the scores.

You have calm, patient teaching demeanor.

It is hard to see your whiteboard when you use a red marker.

Good modeling for the students. Always default to doing an extra problem together just in case they don’t ask and
they really need it.

I like the fraction strip page that you used to show the problems. Did that come with the math series or did you
find it on your own? It worked well to show the subtraction in a concrete way.

Is there a way you can take a picture of the math workbook so that you can download and display it as a reference?
Digital copy of the book?

What about a red/green folded paper that the students could put in front of them and let you know if they finished
their work or if there are still working?
