This extends learning opportunities beyond the classroom & builds their reasoning skills/conceptual understanding. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/hUYJKFCkSu

#eec324s17 When students reason in mathematics, they develop, use and justify general ideas about how mathematical ideas work! #intentalk

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

#intentalk We need to remember that there's always a logic behind why Ss think the way they do, even if they seem off base. #eec324s17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

@Obligatedposts @MaiYiaVang3 I agree, connecting content to real world experiences will engage Ss to cont. to want to learn more. #EEC324S17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A1: Ts need to ensure Ss are comfortable working w/ whole #s before working with fractions/related material. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/5quAj41cIR

[Devin Dobesh @DevinD225]

W8 Q1. How do we set the foundation for early Elementary ss to learn fractions so they really know the meaning of them? #EEC324S17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A2: Ss should be exposed to a variety of approaches; focus on invented ideas as opposed to standard algorithm. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/4fqWHd6S3i

[Mai Yia Vang @MaiYiaVang3]

#EEC324S17 Q2: In what ways can students learn to really understand fractions?

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

Fractions are processed in multi. ways (mixed #s, whole #s, ratios, etc.); Ss need additional time to think. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/6Eorh3NkWS

[Abby Roemhildt @AbbyRoemhildt]

Fractions are one of the most important topics Ss need to understand, yet it is an area in which Ss struggle. Why? #eec324s17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

@amandamrooney8 Great point, I think collaborative practice is a great way to improve this area of Ss development. #EEC324S17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

@AshleySod08 Establishing relationships w/ these Ss, and all Ss is general is crucial for their success in the classroom. #EEC324S17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A2: Each of our Ss will come in w/ dif. experience. Migual was an ELL learner; allow for more time/explicit instruct. practice. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/TMIiwKTisB

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A1: Peer collaboration exploring an array of activities to meet needs of all learners by promoting inquiry-based thinking. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/o0DrDaNUAg

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A3: Through collaborative-based activities; allow Ss to learn through inquiry and problem solving strategies. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/ICZVvPqr55

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

@AbbyRoemhildt @Mister_Callahan #EEC324S17 Frequent informal/formal assessments to gather additional info on all Ss learning and progress

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

@AshleySod08 #EEC324S17 Everyone in the classroom needs to be on the same page to support an engaging learning environment for all.

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A2: Teach Ss in a conceptual manner; focus on exemplars that guide Ss to generalize as opposed to memorizing (becomes rote). #EEC324S17 https://t.co/VPObk6LrJD

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

#EEC324S17 Q1: How can we as Ts understand our Ss generalizations w/ ea. property in the # system?

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

@Obligatedposts @phy_schindler These ideas can be interpreted by peers to further extend learning and thought processing. #EEC324S17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

This also helps develop a stronger teacher-student (and vise-versa) relationship. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/xoAFCmdGNJ

[Thomas Mision @shadow_uzumaki]

#EEC324S17 A3 It doesnt hav to be whole group or small group discussions, during worktime, challenge Ss to explain thinking to u https://t.co/64iQ4odFfh

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A3: Valuing/considering all responses; having Ss share ideas, thoughts, processes together as a class to establish new knowledge. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/6kIP3RlmD2

[Phylicia Schindler @phy_schindler]

Q3: How can Ts make sure Ss are building their conceptual understanding through addition, subtraction, multiplying, and dividing? #EEC324S17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

A2: Gives ourselves (as educators) and our students an opportunity to think logically about our desires together. #EEC324S17 https://t.co/kv6C1pYQVh

[Morgan Harrel @MorganHarrel]

Q2: What are some advantages of being able to estimate in public situations? #EEC324S17

[Kevin Olund @Olund_K]

#EEC324S17 A1: Have them share ideas/thoughts with peers/sm. groups; develop understanding and meaning through collaborative practice. https://t.co/HTmjJwqZwj

[Ashley Sodergren @AshleySod08]

#EEC324s17 Q1: As Ts how do we allow Ss to come up w/ diff strategies to + and -, but also understand how they used the strategy?
