@MissUlbrichOSU I think maybe writing out mathematical stories instead of introducing numeric symbols is better because then it helps establish that math really is a language and reads in a particular order due to the meaning of the symbols.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissUlbrichOSU I think the last question is important because I think it can help guide the lesson planning process, and hopefully as a teacher we can make connections as to what our students are learning and how they are utilizing those lessons. It helps engage with our students’ learning.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MrCourtneyOSU Task 10 seems the toughest for me because the missing side lengths are kinda of tricky so see the relationship with the other sides in terms of perimeter. It requires multiple steps and usage of other sides, so I think it’s pretty complicated for students to understand.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MsSomervilleOSU @MrCourtneyOSU I agree Kennedy— using items the students are familiar with will help them start to understand standard units because it will help them build that foundational concept. In fact, we would do this with sighted students as well, so VI kids can be included in the GenEd room

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@ZhenWan72704088 @MissRushOSU Rose, I think it is super important to remind kids that formulas have meaning behind them and therefore we can’t just “plug and chug” numbers into it— we will loose the bigger picture.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissTaliahK_OSU A28: I think the second misconception of the child not understanding that parts need to be equal size bc kids often struggle with this concept, hence why cutting a sand which in half seems more than one whole sand which. It’s hard to conceptualize and understand at this age.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissTaliahK_OSU A27: I sometimes think that hearing the students explain their process can answer gaps that their written work neglects. If a student can’t reason with words how they arrived at an answer, it could show they don’t understand the math concept even if they got the right answer.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissCarterOSU I think using iPads could be an inclusive way to include students with Visual Impairments bc there are dozens of ways to adapt games for all types of sensory channels those students use. #OSUElemMath

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissCarterOSU A25: I think allowing students to use their own understanding of mathematics can help kickstart educational instruction bc we as teachers will know where to build off of and how to chalk our students. #OSUElemMath

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissMorosky Just like we have seen in videos in class, students take ownership of their thinking and really start to see relationships built about a problem when they collaborate with peers and teacher. Encouraging students to explain their work is critical to their overall understanding.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissMorosky Often times as teachers we forget that we have background knowledge and experiences that our students don’t; therefore, teachers often assume students know more than they actually do. We need to not assume students know something and seize teachable moments in everything.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MeaganClardy A17: I think the 1st and 3rd points stick out to me the most bc I think this is how I was asked to explain my thinking at that age; however, I have slowly started to shift my thinking to the 2nd point bc I want students to feel capable, just like last week’s class discussed.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissDanielleOSU @ZhenWan72704088 @MeaganClardy I also agree with the cooking idea bc it combines Extended Core Curriculum and Commin Core Standards; allowing students to see first hand how practical their new knowledge is will be great motivating factors to keep exploring the world around them.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissSmithOSU I think that when we put emphasis on what the REAL problem is at hand, it can create a sense of fun “urgency” that places the value on the mathematics rather than the drawings of the problems. Allowing time at the end for creative outlets after mathematics could be an option too.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissSmithOSU I definitely struggled overcoming with the 5th misconception because I think so many teachers never emphasized the space in between. I finally remember learning that it was the “jumps” that lead us to the answer; our teachers need to remember the basics so our students know them.

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissRushOSU @MissMaynardOSU A12: Emily, I also agree. I think making math applicable for students will help them understand the significance of the skill they are learning, however, maybe there should just be a balance between real work examples and worksheets according to the authors. #ElemMathOSU

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissMaynardOSU I love that the authors stated this; I think that by incorporating real world examples of how the things students are learning could influence the world positively or negatively can show them just how impactful their decisions are in the future #ElemMathOSU

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@MissSonnyOSU I don’t think that one may be more important, but that they are all necessary to abide to in the classroom. Just bc a student is more reserved and may not share our to the class doesn’t allow a teacher to forget them or let them slip through the cracks. #OSUElemMath

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@ZhenWan72704088 @MissSonnyOSU Rose, I agree that the power of our words can ultimately build or destroy confidence in our students. Being cognizant of our compliments or rebuttals to students can truly make a student love or hate your classroom. We need to encourage diverse thinking. #OSUElemMath

[Hannah Jones @MissJonesOSU]

@ZhenWan72704088 Honestly depends on the subject. I still feel ill equipped to teach math or science or social studies, but English we are just now seeing how to develop strong lesson plans. I still feel rather new to this whole thing and unprepared. #ElemMathOSU
