Here's something we all know: students lack number sense. But our textbooks assume that kids have it. In my free webinar #MathIsNOTaWorksheet you’ll learn how to help your kids develop number sense in a fun, yet mathematically powerful, way. https://t.co/kccfQyvpZ5
@wheeler_laura I'm immersing myself in Peter Liljedahl's Building a Thinking Classroom this summer. Superb research! Do you have an Algebra student course pack?
The Virtual Math Summit is almost here! Are you registered yet? If not you will miss out on co-author on this book, @MATHplusLIT, talking about peer tutoring. Listen to my podcast about this book and get the link to register for #buildmathminds20 over at https://t.co/mnZT2E3Nyv
For the administrators who face challenging decisions by the day, hour, and minute. Please have grace.
For the teachers who are giving their all for students. Please have grace.
For the parents who are making difficult decisions for their family. Please have grace.
Would YOUR students be able to answer these questions? If not... what are some of things you could?
Glad to be part of this training on Teacher Clarity through @CorwinPress with @DFISHERSDSU & @oamadorv#VirtualTCPC
@rebecca_dwenger While the book was excellent in its ideas and motivation, I liked the Zoom meetings with all the activities being modeled, helping me envision how it will play out in the classroom. Exceptional moderators for this book study!
@rebecca_dwenger On formative math assessments, I'll focus on the targeted skill rather than the correct answer. Feedback will be on the new learning rather than calculation mistakes.
@rebecca_dwenger I usually go to https://t.co/rsbQjm6Ecj. Although I've used several assessment criteria in my past rubrics, it should be easy to adapt down to one criterion.
@rebecca_dwenger Students know what's required for top-quality work. They know the grade will be objective. The rubric may show them aspects of the assignment they hadn't thought of.
@rebecca_dwenger Ss and T partnering with each other to achieve success becomes the norm instead of a scary, punitive encounter. Rapport is built--kids don't learn from teachers they don't like.
@rebecca_dwenger In the past I've let students be much too passive when watching videos. I need to do more prep to keep them engaged and thinking critically while watching.
