@LyssStem Mr. Rodgers said “the best teacher in the world is somebody who loves what he or she does”. We need to reflect our passion in our teaching. Student motivation is totally dependent on their teacher, so we need to be positive. Students can tell if you do not like math! #EDU320chat
@KatieMae415 Inquiry science is crucial to students learning. When they ask questions and get to answer those questions through observation, experimentation, and research not only are they learning but also having fun! #EDU320chat
@MartoneCaroline#EDU320chat This is very important to consider while teaching. Students come from every diverse backgrounds and their prior experiences will affect their learning and interactions with different subjects. It is important to be culturally responsive teachers!
#EDU320chat BELIEVE IN YOUR STUDENTS! Many students will say they are not “math people”, but that is due to the messages they receive from their teachers. As @JohnCUrschel said, “The best teachers have the same desire and fire that coaches do about football”
#EDU320chat Interactive activities like coding in the classroom are engaging for students and help build digital literacy which is very important in today’s society. In #EDU320 we coded TI rovers which I enjoyed but also learned a lot from.
@BeccaReilly7#EDU320chat During this crazy time I feel like Twitter has helped me to stay connected. I have seen many engaging hands on tasks performed by students that both parents and teachers have created! Learning happens in many different ways, and Twitter is great for spreading ideas!
#mtbos here’s a great geometry task. I was baking brownies to take my mind off the pandemic when I noticed that this box serves 17 people. Thats right, a PRIME number for a pan of brownies. The task: how do you cut a 8x8 pan into 17 pieces? How about a 9x9 pan? #iTeachMath
While your students may be at home it doesn't mean they can't explore the natural world. Explore our #NationalParks through Google Earth! 🌎 https://t.co/3LeAWkbhB1
@ProfessorMarin@LooneyMath@NaturalMath I loved the steak analogy. You can not uncook a steak just like you can not take back scaffolds and clues that you have already given your students to solve a problem. Let them struggle a little!
@ProfessorMarin Three act tasks are low floor high ceiling, so every student can participate! They all have the ability to do some parts of the task even if they are not able to get to the final solution. These tasks are definitely something I will bring to my classroom one day! #EDU320
The common core state standards are just statements of what students are expected to learn by the end of the year. Assessment and curriculum are not part of the common core. #EDU320
