What educational research is valuable? @AmstiUAH learning from the research of @OGAP_Philly to inform our fractional reasoning and instruction. @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

What are your schools’ non-negotiables for math instruction? Teachers @ArabCitySchools share components of lessons which have led to student improvement and success. @actm @amsti4all ⁦@AlabamaAchieves⁩

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

Which is better—whole group or small group instruction? Teachers @ArabCitySchools taking the lead to share the power and the “Why” behind small group instruction through tasks @actm fall forum. @amsti4all @alabamaachieves

Whoohoo! The ACTM face to face conference is back; it will be hosted at the Oxford Civic Center on November 3 & 4. Sessions offered span grades K-12. There is still time to register. Sign up using the link https://t.co/eEMNuR6Bnp @alabamaACTM @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

@pwharris I was challenged by @pamharris at NCSM that math is “figureoutable”, so I pushed myself to solve this problem without using a division algorithm; this is my reasoning. It makes sense in my brain🥴.

Do you need $1000 to fund a mathematics related educational project? Take advantage of this grant opportunity from @alabamaACTM. Submit a teacher grant proposal to obtain your project materials. The deadline is extended to February 1st. @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

I'm signed up for #DitchSummit, a free online conference for teachers. You can, too, at ... https://t.co/ZqSk1zz3NE via @jmattmiller

Pushing our thinking @OGAP_Philly Can we find the greatest value using paths in the decimal maze? Can we use visual models to represent 3/5 of one school’s population to be greater/less/equal to 3/4 of another school’s population? @AMSTI4all @rtc0016 ⁦@AlabamaAchieves⁩

What tools do you use to explore part-whole relationships of fractions? Connection made during NUMBERS: Fractions & Decimals training ⁦@AMSTI_Athens⁩ ⁦@AMSTI4all⁩ ⁦@2daysmath⁩ ⁦@jsgeometry⁩ ⁦@DecaturCityEdu⁩ ⁦@VoyagerSopris⁩

Cross-site partnering increases the learning and the fun. @AMSTI4all

[Leslie Hughes @AMSTIHughes]

Thankful for the chance to collaborate w/ some awesome colleagues! @LizHughes77 & @MathOnThePorch are so SMART! Excited to collab for upcoming Coaching Academy!! @AMSTI_Athens and @AmstiUAH are prepping for an awesome week of math leadership, coaching, content, and pedagogy!

@pwharris Decompose the dividend to find easier partial quotients. @pwharris

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

If given 3/4, what equivalent fractions could you model and explain? Listen to academic language to prove equivalence with models. @OGAP_Philly @MeggieByrd3 @MelAGCampbell @AlabamaAchieves @AshliAnn8 @AMSTI4all #EquivalentFractions @sheilaholt19

Has PD ever changed your practice? Learning and growing @OGAP_Philly @amsti4all @alabamaachieves @MelAGCampbell @MeggieByrd3

@OGAP_Philly Teachers analyze and sort student work using OGAP Fractional progression framework. What powerful learning to begin our summer. @AMSTI4all @AlabamaAchieves

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

I recently learned of Mote. Great applications for EL learners. Wanting to extend my knowledge and interaction with other uses with this digital tool. Thanks for sharing! @justmoteHQ @AmstiUAH

[Mote @justmoteHQ]

🚨 Add audio to a web-based Jamboard with sticky motes! 🗣️

How? Record a voice note using motepad and share to #GoogleClassroom!

Full demo over on our FB group from today's live Pop-Up PD with @gregkulowiec and @jneale! https://t.co/Fz8qY2L7YW

@pwharris This is where my mind went without the algorithm...using unit fractions. #MathStratChat

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

@MrSurti @pwharris Without the algorithm, this is where my thinking went ...using the unit fraction...

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

The idea of ability grouping and tracking was addressed multiple times throughout @MathEdLeaders conference sessions. How can we be an advocate for Ss who are negatively affected by this action? #NSCMBold @AMSTI4all

[Mona Toncheff @toncheff5]

We can't meet the needs of all students if we use the term "low group." This term speaks loudly about low expectation and a deficit view of student learning. @unfoldthesoul #NCSMbold

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

Feeling inspired and rejuvenated after a great conference of learning. Thank you ⁦⁦@CathySeeley⁩ for tying a bow to our learning. #NCSMBold ⁦@MathEdLeaders⁩ ⁦@AMSTI4all⁩

[Denise Porch @MathOnThePorch]

⁦@MathEdLeaders⁩ - Insightful DESIGN session: High quality mathematics teaching and learning requires shifts to our instruction. What structures do we have in place to support access and equity for ALL students? #NCSMBold ⁦@AMSTI4all⁩
