Led Zeppelin witnessing their tribute by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart performing the triumphant "Stairway to Heaven", at Kennedy Center, 2012.

This is why we should always pay tribute to people when they're still alive. The joy and the emotion on their faces are priceless.

@StephenKing You are a gem. Love that you responded to this post.

How do you hear back from your Ss?

[R Alves @RJB_ALP_Math]

@teacher2teacher Very careful questions. More student to student conversations about the math. Asking my students to explain their thinking to each other. The use of visual models. No one thing works for all.

[R Alves @RJB_ALP_Math]

Really loving this. Looking to possibly tweak this a bit to help my Ss talk math. Thinking one copy of the whole sheet in their math NB. Then specific blocks for certain assignments for class work and homework to build the skill of math talk.

Which One Does Belong?

What's the difference between a strategy and an algorithm?

Find a reason that each of them don't belong!

@pwharris The white is your algorithm. However you are learning so much more by using the ratio tables as a strategy. Love how the strategy builds so much multiplication and division fluency. BTW the 3 day Math Challenge was amazing.

It's KIDS #MathStratChat!
Ask your own children, summer school kids, neighbors and post their favorite or clever solution(s)!

Let's encourage reasoning!

It's also fun to comment on other's strategies.

@teacher2teacher One thing I want my students to take away from my class is to appreciate the usefulness, power and beauty of mathematics.

@pwharris I noticed the double or halve relationship (depending how you’re looking at it). #mathstratchat

@AHoustonMath I automatically notice that 4.5 is half of 9 so 11.25 is half of 22.50. X=11.25

[Foxtrot Uniform Delta @Foxtrot75268877]

@AHoustonMath I agree that Math is about finding relationships. Algebra specifically, is about pattern recognition. However, there HAS to be applicable logic to that pattern recognition approach. Shortcuts work on simple problems, but for the relevant stuff, you need logic building using rules
