This quote makes me laugh. Iâve never bought 64 watermelons and wondered how much it cost if I gave the farmer $200 and had $7 left. In fact, I donât like watermelons, so I would never even buy one. (What in the world would I do with 64 of them???)…
When I showed a set of Anglegs to a high school math department and everyone said, âWhat are those?â I knew I needed to blog about these amazing manipulatives!
Anglegs come in six lengths of plastic that easily snap together to explore plane geometry. When you snap two Anglegs, of any length together, you can snap a special 4â protractor to explore angles.…

Why Math Stations?
Like any good invention, the Tabor Rotation Framework came out of necessity.…
I received an email this morning from a Geometry Instructor/Assistant Athletic Director who has been using the Tabor Rotation Framework at the Secondary Level for the past two years. Attached to it was a real-world assessment of the geometrical concept of transformations. I was engaged just by reading it!…
How do we plan for math with precision?
As the graphic below shows, when planning for math, we need accuracy and precision!
Let’s look at a real-world example of precision. March Madness is just around the corner. If teams want to make it to the finals, they must focus on precision.…
I donât remember Algebra being fun in school. I donât remember any hands-on experiences for anything in Algebra–including expressions. So, when I began teaching Algebra I was determined to make it concrete-to-pictorial-to-abstract and, above all else, it was going to be FUN!
One of the ways I do this is by incorporating roaches, flies, and ladybugs into my Algebra guided math lessons and into my Tabor Rotation math stations.…
In a recent conversation, dynamic math instructional coach, Chrystena Talamantez, shared the overwhelmingly positive response her teachers had to additional support in guided, small-group work with students at the Teacher Time Station. Since having this station was the primary reason why I created the Tabor Rotation Framework, I asked Chrystena to share her personal testimony to the extreme value of Teacher-Guided Math Instruction/Teacher Time.…
How can I support the implementation of balanced, small-group, guided math instruction in my school?
How do I keep the momentum going after attending a Tabor Rotation Training?
How do I share my enthusiasm and expertise in an effective way?
These questions are asked quite frequently by teacher leaders, math coaches, administrators, and specialist who want to build the grass-roots movement of Tabor Rotation. Â …
After spending a day immersed in an initial training at a recent Tabor Rotation Institute, participants placed several sticky notes on the âparking lotâ of questions. I promised I’d blog about those questions.
âWhen do you give homework?â
âWhen do you check homework?â
âWhen youâre using math stations and guided readiness groups, how will you have enough time check homework?â…
