Using Math Quotes in the Classroom
When I first started teaching, I had grand plans to write a different quote on my dry erase board each week. Actually, to be honest, I initially planned to write a different quote each day, but I quickly realized that wasn’t going to happen.
As the year progressed, my weekly math quotes turned into monthly math quotes. With all the things I had to do, changing the quote was always a low-priority item.
In order to make it easier to keep up the quote tradition, I decided to type up a bunch of math quotes and other growth mindset quotes on paper, print them, and run them through the laminator so I would be prepared.
Now I just have to grab a new quote each week and clip it to the dry erase board using my magnetic clips.

Sarah, I have been following your blog this year and have been so inspired! Thank you for sharing – your students are so lucky to have such a thoughtful, caring teacher! I love these quotes and will be downloading them. We start each day with a small CREW and a reading and these will be perfect to incorporate into my math classes, too. I swear I am not a stalker but I follow you on Pinterest, too :). Have a wonderful summer!
