@NovaKatz I Am!!!

@gfletchy Hey! I run BFF here in Amsterdam, and I'm from Atlanta! I heard you'll be in town?!?!?

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

I'm seeing a lot of discussion about manipulitives usage in math teaching... I wouldn't trade some of the discussions that came from sessions like this one for anything...

@gfletchy @TracyZager Just ran my first #BuildingFactFluency session as an intervention and we all really loved it! Can't wait to do more!

Dear Edutwitter. We are starting some lesson study work with teachers. Does anyone have a list of questions teachers might think about when reflecting on a lesson they have taught?
@geoffwake1 @annemathswatson perhaps?! :)

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

Teaching primary maths - it's sometimes important to just ask what the kids see instead of telling them what to see - even with a seemingly simple image. I have to remind myself of it constantly.

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

@MarkChubb3 I've just started doing these with a small group of students - it's the perfect level and just what they needed!

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

beautiful and simple!

Same perimeter, different area.

I was unpacking some linking cubes, when suddenly, my day was ruined.

#FrankStella had a protractor series - I'm thinking he should do a number rod series... #cuisenairerods #primarymaths Any other math teachers use Stella to get inspired?

I love what these types of photos do to my brain!

Great meeting with other SW PD providers this morning. Thanks for the wonderfully rich mathematical discussion. @RuthTrundley @booleanmathshub @LearningMaths and for the fabulous cuisinaire maths @helenjwc

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

When in doubt - pattern blocks out! The "number" fractions are so scary. But when we do this it all makes so much sense. "Mr. Dean?" 'Yes?" "Did I just multiply a fraction?" #primarymaths

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

@Simon_Gregg Yes, I believe this is only half the group's work. The bigger idea was to work systematically - which I try to stress early in the school year so I can prompt them later when they're stuck. I like revisiting early year things like systems and skepticism.

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

Working systematically is important - I like to stress to my students that they should KNOW that they've found all the combinations, not THINK they have! #primarymaths

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

@adil_3 yeah, well...

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

@naveenfrizvi really great session about fractions! It really fine tuned some things I do in the classroom. #bcme9

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

What a great keynote from #bcme9 with @FryRsquared !

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

What do you see, what do you wonder? #bcme9

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

#BCME9panel How do you collaborate with an über defensive colleague, particularly to drive a conceptual curriculum? What's the hook for an obstinate maths teacher?

[Dean Schaub @Math_Amsterdam]

One of the sessions I'm really looking forward to - inspiring with triangles! #BCME9 #BCME2018
