After two years of project-based teaching, I began visiting classrooms throughout central Indiana on my prep periods to run activities and talk about brain science and math methods to teachers. Now with 18 years as a teacher and having taught every math subject from 6th grade through AP and IB math classes, I am leaving the classroom to become a full time trainer. I will visit as many classrooms as I can for the rest of my life to pass on what I have learned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.rileymath.com"]}]}},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0683-rotated.jpg",480,640,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0683-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0683-225x300.jpg",225,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0683-rotated.jpg",480,640,false],"large":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0683-rotated.jpg",480,640,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0683-rotated.jpg",480,640,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_0683-rotated.jpg",480,640,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"John Riley","author_link":"https:\/\/rileymath.com\/index.php\/author\/john\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Math Methods and Manipulatives Participants will learn how to use various teaching methods and math manipulatives and hands-on tools that are most effective for various math standards.
