The most common IEP accommodation is extended time. What if we allowed additional time to any student? Or didn't time at all? If speed isn't what we're assessing, extended time doesn't change the standard. #LeadInclusion#EdChat#ATAssessment
@Dsrussosusan@kathyhen_@mathequalslove Thank you so much for this! I LOVED the crystal ball Flash version and was heartbroken when it stopped working. This is a great replacement. 🎃
Year 22 of teaching has officially begun, and my second year of using @pgliljedahl’s Building Thinking Classrooms. I might not know all my students’ names yet, but I’ve already heard a ton of rich mathematical discussions! My heart is full @StTimsRaleigh
@MathByTheMt I am doing 4 groups of 4. I also touch base with the 6th grade math teacher for recs on who might not be the best fit for each other in the groups to start. And I still mix up group work randomly so that they’re not always working with the same people.
@matherinep@kathyhen_ @JustinAion @Desmos@mathequalslove ME TOO. I’m usually good with things like this - but I’m clicking everything and not figuring anything out. The best I’ve done is getting the water faucet to turn on and off. 🤷♀️
3 highlights of Pi Day @StTimsRaleigh: 1) proving the formula for the area of a circle with paper plates; 2) Moon Pies; and 3) celebrating Richmond’s big 🏀 win yesterday. (As one student pointed out, you can’t spell Spider without Pi!) 🕷🕷🕷
Another awesome Figure It Out Friday @StTimsRaleigh! I often get chills listening to the rich math conversations as groups tackle problems on their vertical whiteboards. Thanks @pgliljedahl! #thinkingclassroom
