@saravdwerf I already had it planned for tomorrow! I’ve used it every year the day before break. Thanks for sharing it!

@cecsquared Turkey Run has great hiking! I discovered the DNR’s hiking challenge recently: https://t.co/FQ2tl6cmmW

@MrsCousins5 I’ve said it for years! In fact, I said it to a student today. :)

[christine @clwoodruff]

@LauraAndKarina I would definitely have students who would say this was 1/3, unless it is the first problem in a task like the Unusual Baker. A bit of context and all but 2-3 out of my 55 fifth graders would get it.

@dhabecker This is my favorite way to divide decimals or whole numbers. I make sure all of my 5th and 6th graders understand it, but I don’t know anyone else who teaches it.

[christine @clwoodruff]

@pwharris I know 1/8 is 6. 48 - 6 is 42.

@BradBMath @MathsCirclesOz Exactly!

@robertkaplinsky It is a great lesson. I’ve used it the last two years.

@pearse_margie Thank you!

@teacher2teacher I will literally cut a test up and give it to the student one question or section at a time. Just not having it all in front of them at one time helps them breathe a bit easier.

@the_chalkface Brilliant! Thank you for creating and sharing this.

@mrbartonmaths @NickSoderstrom Just finished listening. Fantastic episode! So much information AND practical things I can do with my students.

@howie_hua My sixth graders have been dividing like this all week!

[christine @clwoodruff]

@dhabecker Very well! These were kids who had learned the algorithm in 4th grade. When i did this lesson, kids all over the room were commenting about how it finally made sense.

[christine @clwoodruff]

@dhabecker I did this exact thing with my 5th graders this year.

[christine @clwoodruff]

@pearse_margie I am so sorry. I will be praying for you and your family.

[christine @clwoodruff]

@teacher2teacher @ElementaryZach When it’s time for independent practice, I give all students the same problems, but the problems are leveled and labeled as mild, medium, and spicy. Students choose which ones they want to do.

@mathgeek76 @iteachthewhy @LauraAndKarina @bscribb Absolutely! I have a number of teachers in my building that let me pop in and observe whenever I can. I learn a ton.
