Feeling like a proud mamma that my #NewHeightsCharterLA is in the TOP LA COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS for Underserved Students in math. #proudCoach#iteachmath We are ranked in the top 25 of more than 1,300 schools!! These teachers inspire me. https://t.co/W3peyOIJnL
@dhabecker @mathkaveli @VolkertMath By learning acceleration, are you talking about grade level “just in time” supports? Not, let’s drive by topics to get kids to the next topic ASAP, right? 😬 Acceleration is a bit of a trigger word for me. Lol
Adolescents often think manipulatives are only for younger children.
Why? Because some only see them used in younger grades.
This idea is reinforced by their own math experiences!
All learners need to explore math ideas concretely. No matter the grade, no matter the age!!
Ok. Today was Day 1 of my intervention support class. I threw one of these @openmiddle probs on the board. 25 min later kids are laughing, getting excited, competing. Some of these kids have been MIA all year! Great way to start off with a win!
Eighth grade math teachers! I've made @openmiddle Depth of Knowledge matrices to show how a single problem can replace an entire worksheet in eighth grade math. Download it now here: https://t.co/DQlwGVtoWM #MTBoS#iteachmath
Food for thought.
Our high school pathways are generally built upon the premise of getting students into Calculus, but only 3% get there.
Perhaps we should rethink our pathways to be beneficial for more students.
