@MissErinOSU Peer collaboration is so important! I would get frustrated in classes when I had to figure something out on my own and was stuck - I felt helpless! I believe that peer collaboration can help students come up with things together they may not be able to on there own!

@miss_shelbyg #OSUElemMath 1/2 I really like that the teachers let the students work on the problems how they wanted and I think that this is a great way to encourage different thinking and problem-solving. I also think that a great way to let students work through problems is by giving

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@MissMacala @MissSarahOSU Yes! It is important that we are giving students the space to share their thoughts and methods. I also loved your point about building up their confidence as mathematicians!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@misskalyanova @MissSarahOSU My favorite part about your tweet is when you talk about the importance of how children view themselves as mathematicians! I couldn't agree with you more!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@LileAllie @MissSarahOSU Yes! Not every student learns and processes the same, so why should we expect them all to use the same strategy?!? Couldn’t agree more, Allie!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@teacherjada @MissSarahOSU Hey Jada! I couldn’t agree more that providing students with multiple different strategies is beneficial - Our students are more than capable to come up with different strategies and what you said is a great way to encourage it!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@CarlyDFryman @MissSarahOSU Hey Carly! We love teaching our students to be independent 🤩 I am the type of person that likes to be right by their side helping with everything, but that’s just not realistic - teaching them independence, like you said, is a great way to enhance their confidence!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@teacherljames @MissSarahOSU own interests as well. This is a great way to keep students interested in a topic and really get them to divulge into it!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@teacherljames @MissSarahOSU It is so important for us not only to encourage students to come up with and be confident in their own strategies, but allowing them to connect with their peers takes it to a whole new level! I also love that you mentioned that it gives them the opportunity to incorporate their

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@miss_lehman_ @MissSarahOSU I think giving students the opportunity to share strategies can be so empowering for them! I too, love the idea of having an anchor chart with all of the strategies. Then, if a student is struggling, they have something to reference instead of automatically asking the teacher!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@missckellyy @MissSarahOSU I am all for this!! I felt like I was always doing a different strategy than other people when I was in school🤷‍♀️ I totally agree though, we should encourage our students to do the problem in a way that makes the most sense to them!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@miss_shelbyg @MissSarahOSU This is a great point! Our students will surprise us by their amazing work, but we need to support and give them the opportunity to. Giving them manipulatives is an awesome way to encourage them to engage in problem solving in ways that we, as teachers, may not even think of!

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@CalahHouk @MissSarahOSU This is so important!! Math is all around us and not something that only happens in math class. Giving students the opportunity to see math naturally in their work will encourage them to look for it in other places too! #OSUElemMath

@harrold_hannah @MissMcElroy_ of them working and playing for documentation. This way, the students are encouraged by seeing their work and parents also get to see what is going on in your classroom and what great work their students are doing.

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@harrold_hannah @MissMcElroy_ #OSUElemMath I love that you mentioned the use of manipulative as I believe this can be so beneficial to students. I also loved your idea about taking pictures to document students work. To take that a step further, you could even hang pictures of students work and pictures

@MissHuston23 their everyday live and we can help them see how to do this. In doing this, we are bringing in their identities and different backgrounds. Everyone’s everyday life looks different which will bring variance into what math children are finding in their daily lives. #OSUElemMath

[Emma Babcock @Miss_EmmaB]

@MissHuston23 Something mentioned in the reading that really stuck out to me was understanding Children’s identities and prior knowledge in order to best serve them (Chao & Jones, 2016, pg. 17). I believe that math can be found anywhere if you are looking for it. Children can find math in
