I agree! I love that "Understanding Decimal Notation for Fractions" includes the technique of using money. Like you said, I also believe that this is a topic most students have prior knowledge on and may be excited to learn more about in terms of the value money has!

[Linnea Carlyle @Ms__Carlyle]

"Understanding Decimal Notation for Fractions" discussed a great technique of comparing decimals to money. Money is something lots of students have prior knowledge with and can compare it to the things they are learning about decimal notation. #431MNSUF19

I love that you took note of the 5 Indicators of Decimal Understanding from this weeks readings! I too found them to be a very valuable resource when teaching students about decimals!

These 5 indicators of understanding from the reading "5 Indicators of Decimal Understanding" is very important because using these you can understand student thinking during a math lesson or assignment. #431MNSUF19

I love how you included a figure from our reading this week! I too very much enjoyed reading about the different understandings that students have between fractions and decimals.

From 5 Indicators of Decimals Understanding by Cramer, Monson, Ahrendt, Colum, Wiley, and Weyberg. I loved being able to see the student work and their understanding of the relationship between decimals and fractions. Then also the misconceptions with decimals. #431MNSUF19

[ms.berdan @BerdanMs]

Such a great find! I like how you found a resource/activity about using benchmarks and learning more about numerators and denominators!

[Caitlin Stone @ms_stone2020]

This is a good activity to help students understand the relationship between numerators and denominators. #431MNSUF19

"Targeting misconceptions before they become a problem"...what a great idea to introduce your students to decimals and the value they hold before you dive into a lesson! Great resource link to reference!

Students may find that comparing and ordering fractions/decimals is tough! As educators, we must remember to provide opportunities for our students to succeed in decimal and fractional value with models and accurate math language!

I love finding and reading about new math manipulatives that are being created! This is a great manipulative that can guide students to make sense of decimals and their relation to fractions!

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful bulletin board! Teaching certain aspects of history may be difficult, but it is awesome to see that teachers are acknowledging that difficulty, and still choosing to make the most of it!

I love this saying, "color is one of the things that make your students unique". This is something to keep in mind as educators. It's color, culture, and diversity in our students that make them unique individuals.....individuals that make up one unified classroom

Teachers NEED to see color because it is one of the things that make your students unique. ❤️ #edchat #educolor https://t.co/IGoiERbyQs

So happy I stumbled upon this resource! What a great way to create "portable number talks"!

#mathvisuals #numbertalks

[Berkeley Everett @BerkeleyEverett]

22 decks on addition, subtraction, and multiplication within 100. Each deck is a bunch of portable number talks!

I couldn't agree more about choosing workstations instead of worksheets! As a student myself, even at the college level, I benefit more from working socially with my classmates in groups/stations, than I do with worksheets. This link is such a great resource!

[ms.berdan @BerdanMs]

Such an important article to read about teaching fractions. This was an awesome resource for me to read as I study to become a future teacher. Fractions are tough....but they can also be fun!

What a fun way to learn about shapes and symmetry! The list truly goes on as to the things you can teach students using these mathematical manipulatives!!

Thinking about shapes and symmetry with this #wodb using #patternblocks. Suggestions for improvement? @WODBMath #ITeachMath
