@MissJonesOSU@MissUlbrichOSU Hannah I agree and would pick the last question. Lessons don’t always go as planned because these emerging ideas do happen and I think it is more important to follow your students needs. #ElemMathOSU
@MissJessicaOSU@MissUlbrichOSU Jessica I was also thinking of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I think each of these storybooks can interact with the children in different ways. The Nappy House is also a great one I read this to my buckeye buddy! #ElemMathOSU
@MissDiCoccoOSU @smith11169 @MrCourtneyOSU A32: I can see how important the first step is because visuals have so much meaning to learning and I think these can even be used together as well to really help the students grow rather than just always in steps. #ElemMathOSU
@MissJonesOSU@MrCourtneyOSU Hannah, I agree that 10 looks so challenging and I remember struggling with that as well as a child because of the many different numbers that are involved to find the missing ones. I think task 4 seems quite challenging too.#ElemMathOSU
@MissTessOSU@ZhenWan72704088 Yes Tessa, and that is how a lot of teachers are trained to think and it can be difficult to give those students the time and freedom to solve it in different ways! #ElemMathOSU
@smith11169 @MissSmithOSU Yes Brooke and Morgan this is something to keep in mind when giving children problems! Each child will have a different challenge that’s why it’s important to not favor one strategy as well, giving them the freedom to solve it in their own way. #ElemMathOSU
@ZhenWan72704088 Thank you for sharing about your previous knowledge in math and how that is still effectiving your problem solving. Not every student will look and solve a problem in the same way so I’m glad you recognize that. #ElemMathOSU
@Miss_Erin123@MsSomervilleOSU@MissMorosky Thank you three for sharing and recognizing that there isn’t just one good strategy for solving this problem because each student may be learning at different levels. #ElemMathOSU
@MissCarterOSU A25: I think they are all important in their own in learning but the last one is the easiest to do. Give the students a quick fix instead of giving them the time and knowledge to solve the problems on their own instead of having a “one way to solve” mind set. #ElemMathOSU
@MissCarterOSU A24: I have seen misconception 1 being used with so many students and I believe I struggled with this when I was first starting to learn it. It can be difficult to see the number in word form and just think it has literal meaning to the letters and place values. #ElemMathOSU
@MissAli2020 @MissDiCoccoOSU@MissCarterOSU A23: I thought about this idea as well and something I remember using quite a bit. Dice would be such a great tool to use with VI students if it were tactile dots. I also think it could be used even further than just probability. #ElemMathOSU
@ZhenWan72704088@MissMorosky A21: I agree Rose about how effective small groups can be. We even see that in college still. Students work better and under less pressure with their peers. Letting those student take time to model and teach their peers as well is important for their growth.#ElemMathOSU
@MissMorosky A20: I think this can be a learning moment for both the student and the teacher. I think it is so important to get to know your students and how they solve problems different from you. As teachers it is easy to jump at the first strategy you see from students.#ElemMathOSU
@MissRushOSU@MissMorosky A22: Emily I was thinking the same thing. Something so simple that has so much meaning and something students will always come into contact with. Even using grouping of objects from like a grocery store that using grouping of money as well can be a simple activity.#ElemMathOSU
@MissMaynardOSU@MeaganClardy A18: Yes Amber, observing this was very challenging. We just wanted to see the problem and see what thinking he was doing. Using real materials that the children could manipulate rather than writing it in Braille could help us observe their strategies.#ElemMathOSU
@MeaganClardy A17: I think all of these categories are important. But after what we learned last week I really like the second one about changing the problem. We learned the different types and sometimes that is all it takes to spark a kids understanding. #ElemMathOSU
@MsSomervilleOSU@MissSmithOSU A14: Teachers have control over there classrooms and monitoring what the students are working on without telling them what to do or taking them away from their idea is important. Asking those critical thinking questions to get them back on track of the problem. #ElemMathOSU
