What is formative instruction?
T @MathManfre defines it this way: "Students come into class and immediately have the opportunity to show how they’re incorporating prior knowledge and insights by applying them to the material of that day’s lesson. That gives me the opportunity to assess their current conceptions from the quality of their work – not just whether they got the right result – and teach directly in response to the questions and observations their work is communicating."

Mathematicians work to create math that have yet to exist. Is this how we see K-12 learners engaging with math?
Come join me in Thursday afternoon’s workshop as we’ll collaboratively engage in the practice of creating mathematics and explore its applicability K-12.
Grateful to reflect on and share something that brings me and my students so much joy - student-created demonstrations of learning. Student video creations are embedded in the article. Enjoy! Thank you for this opportunity, @edutopia. https://t.co/lHTxBjhvPM
I don’t do brain breaks.
I have purposeful and intentional transitions between progressions of learning modalities that incorporate movement AND help set students up for success by framing upcoming learning verbally and visually.

Thank you @biblio_phile for sharing #ShareWhatWorks with @RSW95 & me
@Lausensei has organized tech lunches that have brought our faculty together & teachers walk away with useful ideas #808educate
As a teacher, one of, if not my greatest fears is teaching students something they already know.
Thank you @teacher2teacher for capturing how I ensure in-class instructional time is worthwhile for all students with the variability of content knowledge they have coming in.
T @MathManfre's Ss arrive with varying prior knowledge. Here's how he offers each one meaningful instruction, wherever they are on their learning journey: https://t.co/BXPMxNjewD
2 minutes.
That’s all it took to introduce imaginary numbers to my 7th grade pre-algebra students. 2 minutes.
Now as they learn about “real numbers” they know what they are and what they aren’t, instead of waiting until algebra 2 to get introduced to what they’re not.
