Spent over 4 hours on hold with #WestJet trying to get a spot reserved for my cats on Dec 16, only to be hung up on. Tried calling back and was told they wouldn't accept my call. I was prepared for a long wait, but to be hung up on is so frustrating.

#elemmathchat #educ4173 math and creativity. I remember feeling as if math was made to squash creativity.

#elemmathchat #educ4172 A5: q1 allows us to better understand our S's method thus allowing us to determine where they may have gone wrong.

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

#elemmathchat #educ4173 A4: 1 has students justify their answers, while 2 asks them to chose without showing how they know it's true.

#elemmathchat #duc4173 Not providing the time for those who need to internalize, thus allowing the quick responder to take over.

#elemmathchat #educ4173 A2: I'm either good or I'm not, and if I fail them I'm obviously not good.

#elemmathchat #educ4173 A1: fixed mindset is the belief that skills are predetermined. Growth mindset believes skills can be developed.

@evelina_pace This is one way to help make math more personal for those need a way to make it more meaningful. #EDUC4173

@claire_swinamer And the shear number of books created for the purpose of supplying such games are easy finds in most schools. #EDUC4173

I always enjoyed using manipulatives as a visual learner, but hated regrouping to make "friendly" numbers. @BMargaretPhylli #EDUC4173

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

@ericaamac I great idea is to have students bring in a collection of small items important to them. This makes counting personal. #EDUC4173

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

How do we help our students begin to create their own unique algorithms? Where does the conversation begin? #educ4173

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

I love the walk-on number line, but would be interested in ways to use it outside of addition/subtraction as well. #educ4173

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

@LaurenMK99 I agree, especially with two diget subtraction. The concept of tens can be confusing.

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

Fraction strips are a useful tool for teaching fraction addition/subtraction. #educ4173

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

There's a point to teaching decimals.

[Megan Lederer @Megan_Lederer]

Confused about the connection between patterns and algebra. #educ4173
