This single third grade @openmiddle problem will replace an entire worksheet and uncover misconceptions you didn't even know were there. Have your students place five fractions they create on a number line and see what happens. https://t.co/yDcYHyFrc6 #MTBoS

Love this quote “Students are very smart even when their answers are very wrong” !

Hard to pick a favorite from @ddmeyer ‘s #CAMT23 keynote, but this is so important to take to heart, to action.

Longtime Wheaton teacher, author & leading Underground Railroad authority Glennette Tilley Turner presented about Juneteenth at last night's City Council meeting on historical significance of the holiday commemorating the end of slavery. See presentation: https://t.co/CEoFlBY1VU

Love these types of school hijinks!

Back in June, I help my mom clean out her pool shed. There's a strand of old twinkle lights with plastic flamingos. "Throw them out," she says. "They don't work." But I see that the flamingos came off easily, so I start to pull them off. "I can do something with these."

some people (maybe most of y'all?)
think that math is neutral, objective,
you know, the facts.

2+2=4, right?

Here's a thread of resources to challenge that perspective /1

Deeply enjoyed sharing our use of Liljedahl’s 14 Practices and discussing what’s equal vs. what’s equitable during my session this mrng☀️ Glad that I was able to be, as one participant said, “inspiring”☺️ #PCTM22 @PCTMpctm @pgliljedahl #mather #buildingthinkingclassrooms

[Aleda Klassen @aledaklassen]

Here are 4 sketchnotes of the 4 toolkits from @pgliljedahl's #thinkingclassroom.

These versions now have a better citation of the book.

I hope they inspire discussion about how to make learning more accessible to more students!

One thing that can be misunderstood about fluency is that fluency is all about basic fact recall. Facts play a big role but there is so much more to fluency. This is from Figuring Out Fluency. What other fluencys are there in elementary math? #elemmathchat

Please take them for a test drive and let us know how it goes using #ElemMathChat & #BuildingFactFluency.

Just finished @pgliljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms. It’s been highly inspirational! But it also sparked a lot of thoughts and questions. A thread. #mathreads

Every April #earlychildhood educators mark the Week of the Young Child. There could hardly be a better illustration of why than this clip from @sesamestreet which captures all the beauty and potential of our work. Be sure to watch until the end. #WOYC2022
