@Mr_MMY True, but it combines a few different purposes into 1 - drafting + self reflection + peer feedback.

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

Another topic I wish Uni had offered is "How to draft student work effectively/efficiently." Although after a year and a half I think I've picked up a couple of strategies.. any hot tips #teachers ? #educhat

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@nomad_penguin As in reading through an extended piece of work, with written analysis, and providing feedback on the work submitted. E.g. an 8 page investigation in report style.

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@LouiseCottell Do you find that these strategies are more time consuming than the traditional process (for students)? I think that peer feedback would also be powerful for students comparing/reflecting on their own work.

🍝 Spaghetti mathematica! Trigonometric ratios + unit circle + graphing functions + pasta = an unforgettable lesson #iteachmath #mathchat

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@saceboard @Mr_MMY this looks very relevant and more like the "how to" than the "why"

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@Mr_MMY @canva @Officeworks Ordered online so definitely have receipt and already A2 on poster paper 😊

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

I have been looking for a good "worded maths problems" poster for months! Finally decided to stop searching and make one instead. Credit to @canva and @Officeworks for the print quality!

#debatemath in today’s #math1057 class.

Followed up with ‘It sucks to find the slope from my representation because …’

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@LachM Wow that is very cool! And has given me a clearer plan for a more open task around ATAR or % tertiary educated. Thanks @LachM @Mr_MMY

Help #MTBoS!
In the process of designing a stats task with focus on linear regression. I've found reliable data on salaries in AU, and trying to think of a second variable.. ATAR/Grad v Leadership is what I have so far. Any ideas for an investigation? #mathchat #mathteacher

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

In previous years students have investigated the correlation between height x belly button height and second hand car price x mileage.

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

Trying to design a Ss task that investigates the correlation between 2 variables (Stats - linear regression). Need 30+ data values that are easy to collect or accessible as secondary data. Any ideas?! #MTBoS #mathchat #iteachmath

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@DavidKButlerUoA Oo interesting. What other factors could students discuss in their analysis? Cost of attending cinema, film budget...?

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@marthamulligan @iteachmathAll What is Barbie bungee?

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@cjblesing It tells you that in a pressure situation they know/remember 80% of the test solutions... tells you 0% about how they behave.. without criteria/progression rubric, tells you 0% about how to improve.

Education is not a competition. Here's the research I quoted in today's @theTiser https://t.co/LIxI1nFct4 Acknowledgement also of @drtonywagner "The world doesn't care what our students know, what the world cares about is what our students can do with what they know." @saceboard

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

@RhettFielke @metapraxisproj1 My brain is meta exhausted after today's session! Lots to think about

[Ashleigh Callins @ashola24]

I think I get "Meta" (metaphorical, referring to self) and I think I get "Praxis" (connection between practice and theory)... I'm glad we have 3 years to try and get "Meta Praxis" though...

@DavidKButlerUoA @nomad_penguin @Jason_Loke @JeremyInSTEM @meganlock24 @LyronW @StaggLG @MrJohnRowe @Mr_MMY @Matt_Siviour @ann_ruckert I have loved seeing/using some of the puzzles you have shared, more of these would be interesting. Your tips for preparing students for university and beyond? Strategies you use to support students really struggling with concepts?
