@AlanizYagaira @SelContreras811 Direct instruction and gradual release narrows the opportunities for student authentic thinking and the evolving as problem solvers. #pisdmathchat #positivestruggle @SelContreras811

@SelContreras811 A8 one take away is to remember as we create a safe learning environment for our students, they need to know that their voices matter. Having them collaborate in creating norms validates their voice and sense of belonging. #PisdMathchat #Productivestruggle

[Martha Banda @MiBanda17]

@MsE_Clark @SelContreras811 Great idea to get students engage in academic discourse while learning and building their classroom community! #PISDMathchat #Productivestruggle

[Martha Banda @MiBanda17]

@MsE_Clark @SelContreras811 It is amazing what little mathematicians can do when given time to explore.

[Martha Banda @MiBanda17]

@AlanizYagaira @SelContreras811 Yes, mistakes lead to new learning! #PISDMathchat #ProductiveStruggle

[Martha Banda @MiBanda17]

@SelContreras811 A5 When I moved Elementary from teaching HS and started teaching math, I knew I had to create better experiences for my students than the ones I had. I wanted my Sts to know the “why” instead of “just do it this way”.
