@Cassand04578205 @KernCMC @Mathgarden Well said! Working with and understanding our students should be a primary goal from Day 1. Understanding their needs and letting them grow. Understanding that many students learn in different, unique ways. Good input!

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 @Mathgarden We can ensure mathematics continues to grow by encouraging creative thinking by allowing fun games that are not confined by limits. Games that can be played in any sequence allow for new experience for all players. #MathRecess

@DEAFinitelyJT @KernCMC @Mathgarden It’s a good point to think about. As well as eliminating bias, grading on a curve can be rough on students. Expect they can achieve and push for them.

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 @Mathgarden #MathRecess recommends portfolio’s where students can demonstrate understanding. I am 100% on board with this. Having the flexibility to see how a student understands the content instead of traditional tests.

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@Dominiq71162938 @KernCMC @Mathgarden In Dan Finkel’s Ted Talk, he stated that we should “nurture our students mathematical instincts and that what books are to reading, play is to math” So I think you have the right idea too.

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 @Mathgarden 1.Start w/ Question 2.Students need time to struggle. 3. You aren’t the answer key. 4. Say yes to S ltudents ideas. 5. Play
These princples encourage curiousity and clue seeking. They nurture mathetmatical instincts. Just like number talks:Allows students to wonder before answers

@Nchavez101 Hey, have a question about our Math assignment tomorrow (3/2).

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Just a reminder, “All In” doesn’t mean you have to be at school til 7 every night. Doesn’t meant you need to take school work home every night. Doesn’t mean you need to be swamped every weekend with planning or grading. This isn’t All In, this is Burn Out. Have a Restful weekend!

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 @Mathgarden Agree! Disguising learning methods and “avoiding the hard work” when playing helps students interact with the content in new and fun ways. #EDEL5200 #MathRecess

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 @Mathgarden Speed, Uno, Mancala are all games I have played with students that disguise number sense learning, but also create memories. They love playing and return the next day asking to play those games. These create memories, especially if you teach them a game they will love!

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@diff_notless @KernCMC I agree 100%! Math should be interactive and engaging. Students get discourage and give up at the first sign of struggle. Side by side encouraging them that math is more than just numbers on the paper and using visual methods to illustrate the problem will be helpful.

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 A mathematical proficient student applies all understanding of math content that meets standards and learning intentions. #MathRecess can help by offering opportunities to learn math in accessible venues and show that math is approachable, not daunting.

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 Mandating may be the answer, but force doesnt always work. As a teacher, its up to you to assure that each student is getting their needs met. Establishing the routine in your classroom to assure 1:1 time occurs will be vital to success. Creating this routine and teacher effort.

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 Slow down. Share different methods and encourage safe places that allows for collaboration. If you dont get a problem, its ok to show that you dont understand it. Even as an adult im hesitant to share answers cause i dont think its right.

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 Including different methods and visuals for all students regardless of levels. Encourage effort and patience and not speed. Eliminate speed test. #MathRecess #EDEL5200

[Marshall Johnson @HangingwithMrJ]

@KernCMC @WrightMath314 #MathRecess I think MathRecess should be rewarding opportunity through challenges that really capture the students attention. Relating it to many fun activities children ready enjoy (sports, games,etc)I think we should adopt a Kindergarten mindset because we can revisit curiosity
