New math for homeschooling 4th grader: equivalent fractions which led to adding factions of different sizes. Fun times at the Parascand house!

Breakfast math dilemma, only 3 homemade donuts left to share with mom, dad and brother... The math teacher in me almost burst with excitement!!! #ProudDad

A4 Remember that training alone doesn't exactly transfer to improve practice like coaching and true study teams do. @LearningForward knows - Check out their PL Standards - Go beyond the one-and-done to deeper PD as a CULTURE not an EVENT #ellchat https://t.co/NsUkWu5e0J

Want to increase active learning in your math classrooms? In our interview with David Parascand, we explored how he did just that with our 6–8 Math curriculum.

Discussion + collaboration make math enjoyable and S's engaged.

Love the foundation @ParascandMath shared for the work happening in his district. Having quality tasks was the beginning and so we us @MVPmath.

Engineer buddy of mine posted this. Weren’t we just talking about this @TSDSTEAM

[David Parascand @ParascandMath]

Such productive math conversations can happen with the high cognitive demand @MVPmath tasks! Students making connections between the representations of different explicit functions for Integrated 1 task 1.5.

@DrMartinMath I love that I was able to see the rate of change of an exponential function increasing as an exponential function!!!! 🤯thank you @MathEnthusiasm for the great noticing with @MVPmath and @Joleighhoney

[David Parascand @ParascandMath]

Digging deeply into rate of change in a recursive function with @MVPmath @MathEnthusiasm @Joleighhoney... mind blown!!!

“Order these items from easiest to hardest.” Great conversations started with teachers around what makes a math problem “hard” or “easy” and what types of items we want on our assessments. Using @SmarterBalanced interim block. #bookmarkmethod

Lucky me, getting to share the work of @openupresources with #ASCD18!

All of our Ts and Ss deserve access to truly excellent curriculum.

Dad Me: Who wants to get ice cream?
6 year old: 100% yes!!!
Math Me: I wonder what 99% yes would feel like...

@LeeanneBranham @openupresources @IllustrateMath Great question! Our presentation was taking them to classrooms to see the materials in action. I’ve found that when others see a glimpse of what possible with student engagement centered on mathematical discourse and reasoning the decision is easy.

[David Parascand @ParascandMath]

Had the joy of showing 3 separate organizations the @openupresources and @IllustrateMath 6-8 materials in action with teachers and students. Great teachers make amazing instructional materials come alive! (They are all adopting the materials now)

[David Parascand @ParascandMath]

@crawfordman and I modeled a coach&teacher planning conversation with @IllustrateMath. What a fun experience! Great feedback from attendees.

[David Parascand @ParascandMath]

At it again with @crawfordman and @IllustrateMath @openupresources materials. Such great conversations and collaboration about coherent mathematics. The storyline is so important!

[Math Vision Project @MVPmath]

Save the date for @MVPmath summer trainings!
More details available soon.
