Common core has encouraged teachers to make a shift in their teaching practices. Instead of rote memorization techniques on a daily basis, students are required to think and demonstrate by thinking through writing and math. To help develop this thinking, materials such as manipulatives, counters, and whiteboards support the development of deep mathematical concepts. These materials provide students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of math in many different ways. Additionally, the use of various materials hone in on each students' different learning styles. The materials will help to build engagement and collaboration in the classroom. Students will be able to use other materials such as post-its and pencils to agree or disagree with the thinking of their partners or groups. This opportunity to collaborate in partners and groups will support in developing higher-level thinking for all students, even my English Language Learners. My hope is to increase the opportunities for higher-level thinking and collaboration in class, which will then result in an increase in my students' love for math.
