What I've Learned about Teaching 7th Grade Math

• For Zoom office hours, a document camera is necessary.

• The students need to be told what "show your work" means.

• The students need to be forced to use lots of paper in doing homework.

• The students need to be forced to use looseleaf binders and keep them neat and organized.

• The students need monthly tests.

• Competitions are often useful.

• Slow students need one-on-one tutoring.

• Python coding is fun for them and helpful for teaching them.

Participation

• Casey Wichman: I made a wise decision to allow my "econ & policy" students make up participation points by submitting econ memes that relate to class. Grading has never been more fun.
