TL is a 3rd / 4th grade educator from Grove City Pennsylvania. We welcome TL joined us back on Episode 198: Assessing Multiplication Facts. Back then we chatted all about math fact strategies and how we can use assessments to promote growth. 

TL joins us now to fill us in on her continued growth around developing math fact strategies and she also shares her carefully designed math blocks where she’s available to work in small groups. 

Stick around and you’ll hear her current pebble in her shoe: What standards should she focus on to get the “best bang for her buck”?

This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we chat with a teacher like you who is working through some problems of practice and together we brainstorm ways to overcome them. 

You’ll Learn: 

• How problem strings can give you a wealth of assessment data on your students;
• How can I structure my intervention time so students grow? 
• How do we identify which standards are the most important to focus on? 
• How can I use data to differentiate a learning path for my students?
