Seen Cena Championship. Crowning an “in the moment” champion by hiding an image of Cena 2-3 times each day within my digital slide show. #WeCanSeeHim #SeenCenaChamp #HocusPocusFocus @wcpsmd @WWE @JohnCena

“Only by wrestling with the conditions of the problem at first hand, seeking and finding his own way out, does he think.”-John Dewey. #PuzzlesNotProblems Inquiry=guided curiosity. Great day of learning with @MDSocialStudies @CourtneyLeard

“Professional Mullet”- Dr. Kathy Swan. (Business up top and casual below with digital learning). Loving this inquiry seminar. @MDSocialStudies learning a lot and having a great time at the same time.

“Passing from mistake to mistake to truth {is} the doing of mathematics.” (Same applies to life) #wcpsmdlearns Strikeouts beget homeruns.

@TeachAly Absolutely. You know where I work.

Why hello, CueThink... Where have you been all my life? Loving these new “toys”. #wcpsmdlearns

@LisaJKeyser1 How about it?!?!?

“Math is not about following directions, it’s about making new directions.”-Tracy Johnston Zager. How darn powerful is that statement?!?!? #wcpsmdlearns

[Nick Roth @CleanWaterRoth]

Added so many strategies and techniques to the “tackle box “ this week. Thank you! #wcpsmdlearns

[Nick Roth @CleanWaterRoth]

“We want to go deeper not broader.” Helping students to uncover and use evidence in scientific explainations. Those kids already are great at arguing (ask any parent)... now they just need to use that ability in their academic justifications. #wcpsmdlearns #NaHuhUhHuh

[Nick Roth @CleanWaterRoth]

“Letting time to wonder.” When taking kids outside to learn and the simplistic approach to natural wonder. #wcpsmdlearns

“Learning is a change in long term memory.” -Paul Kirschner. Dylan Wiliam has me looking like a Booble Head this morning. #wcpsmdlearns

“Swing hard, in case they throw the ball where you’re swinging.”-Duke Snider. Rounding out a great week of PD and changes in academic mindsets. #wcpsmdlearns #HowWhy #PuzzlesVersusProblems

[Nick Roth @CleanWaterRoth]

Rote memory isn’t the same as automaticity. Students knowing how and why they are building their mathematic foundation is of the utmost importance. 3rd grade math fluency #wcpsmdlearns

[Nick Roth @CleanWaterRoth]

@elemmathgurl said it best, “I didn’t get to learn with manipulatives, I am fascinated by watching and learning alongside students.” Math is a puzzle not a problem... love the change in mindset that today’s mathematics invites. #wcpsmdlearns

[Nick Roth @CleanWaterRoth]

Depth and complexity icons can teach students “how to think” and not “what to think”. #MindBlown #wcpsmdlearns

[Nick Roth @CleanWaterRoth]

Adding some more arrows to the quiver with some great Breakout Room strategies (just in case) #wcpsmdlearns

We should not be just memorizing algorithms, that’s just not useful in today’s math world.” Jennifer Bay-Williams. Mathematics needs to be looked at with a science lens. #wcpsmdlearns
