Super Teacher Worksheets

This website is great! There are a ton of math worksheets and ESL worksheets. On most of the websites I've found, there have been great writing and reading worksheets, but not as many math worksheets. This website is a great resource!

This website had some great math worksheets, and with such a need to improve the way we teach math, any fun worksheet can help. We all know math and science are the two subjects the U.S. is constantly falling behind in compared to other countries, and we need to pull out all of the stops to begin helping students. I would definitely use graphic organizer worksheets like this place value chart to visually help students understand numbers' places.

Similar to the decimal worksheets, any worksheet that can help with fractions is one I can see myself using in my class. Fractions get a bad reputation, and even when I was in school learning about them, my peers and I didn't like them and I know this hasn't changed with students. Once I had a teacher who really broke down what a fraction was and how we can use them in math, it all became clear to me. The worksheet that has fraction strips and the pizza fractions are two worksheets I would definitely use. It's a visual way to explain exactly what a fraction is and the pieces can be used to learn how to add and subtract fractions.

I plan on teaching in the Central Valley, where I will have many students who are learning English as their second language. One of the main goals is to make content comprehensible for students so they understand concepts, even if they don't quite have all of the vocabulary. Graphic organizers with visuals are a great way to help ESL and other students understand concepts. I love the Hamburger chart because it's using a common object to show students how to organize a paragraph or essay. It's a great tool to use for all students!
