"You are one of my favorite teachers!" = one of the nicest things I've heard - from a 6th grader, no less.

Check out the HLS staff self portraits. Can you find your teacher? We are excited to see you next week. #BelieveinBulldogs #HLSTreasurehunters #everyonecancreate

9 out of every 10 students attend a public school. Public schools welcome every child—regardless of ability, race, wealth, language, country of origin or needs. #PublicSchoolProud

Had two (TWO!) different students come to me and say, "Let's do division!" Both were excited! (Just trust me, that doesn't happen often!)

@HollyMecher @JennyKaste You both did a nice job! #5thMathChat

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

@HollyMecher #5thMathChat A7 - math is a puzzle. Puzzles are fun. Therefore, math is fun.

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

@HollyMecher @ANavarro546220 @JennyKaste #5thMathChat - when Nora Ramirez said even the big kids - middle school and high school - needed to use manipulative, that really struck home for me that our younger students do, too.

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

@HollyMecher #5thMathChat I’d be out of a job!

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

#5thMathChat A-6 - I am giving the kids different problems based on what they need. Or, we start with the same one, but some work faster than others - working to have that next problem ready for them.

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

A4 - or 5 - #5thMathChat - FINALLY GOT IT.
Perseverance is one of the things we want our students to do. Do so by modeling!

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

@JennyKaste #5thMathChat YES! That hands on thing means TOUCHING and FEELING - something more than a screen that they touch all the time!

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

@tvguerrero Units - YEP! It helps to make SENSE of the problem. #5thmathchat

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

@JennyKaste And I appreciate that you don’t. I see, more than I care to admit, where it’s taught.

A4 - Kids see KCF as a trick - not the understanding of what is really happening. That goes back to 'multiplying always gives you a bigger answer.'

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

A2 - found a graph.... should make my own -"In fractional form, how much of an hour does it take to tweet a pictures?" #5thmathchath

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

@JennyKaste #5thmathchat Looking at it that way, it makes sense. Adding rigor with the real-world data. I was trying to relate the division to the line plots...

[Linda Rodriguez @MsRodriguezHLS]

#5thmathchat A2 - it is so easy for me to look at fraction as a division problem - I forget that my students don't have that yet.
