“We believe students with special services matter. This is why we are investing so much; if we believe these students matter, they deserve our investment.” Kathy Trosvig & Kay Gomez on building agency & identity for students and resource room teachers. #nwmc22
Mathematizing the World routine in service of the Common Good at #nwmc22 with @JuliaAguirre23. How are we advancing equity and humanizing spaces of math learning? How might we using mathematics as a lever for empathy?
Thinking about ways to create math teaching labs which are called OEL Labs (Observation of Evidence of Learning) with @jsanchezmath & @SubitizeThis from Everett Public Schools. Another way to make professional learning visible #nwmc22
Mrs. Werner’s third graders engage in discourse during a learning lab. Teachers are working together to practice facilitating the 3 Reads routine. This routine supports student access to multi-step word problems, builds community, and amplifies language and vocabulary.
Had the opportunity to fill my cup today alongside some brilliant fresh 4th graders. Our prompt was, “What helps you do math? What helps you learn math?” Ss reflected on their past experiences and shared in teams, then I scribed their ideas.
Happy first day of school, Halcones! We are starting 2nd grade and year 6 of instructional coaching at @EmersonFalcons. Looking forward to an amazing year of growth and fun! #EPS_OurStudentsRock
Brilliance from @EmersonFalcons first grade team doing some shared review of Launch-Work-Synthesize to prepare for co-planning and co-teaching an @IllustrateMath lesson in an OEL lab.
Me: Fielding student responses and explanations about which one doesn’t belong.
Student, blurting, suddenly thunderstruck: “They all belong because they all represent the same thing!”
The rest of the class: *collective gasp of realization, excited chatter*
I love to see it.
It's math in your jammies day at Emerson Elementary! Student's turned drawings into math, counted collections and mathematized picture books during zoom! #EPS_OurStudentsRock#EPS_OurStaffRocks
Fourth graders using a smart panel to synthesize their learning about ways to represent large numbers. Kids are discussing how the location of a 0 in a large number changes the value, how we represent it with words and in expanded form. @EPSMath@IllustrateMath
When students are asked to turn and talk about if place value can be used to subtract 167 from 301 and why they do or don’t think so, and they animatedly burst into discussion. Music to my ears!! @EmersonFalcons@IllustrateMath@jsanchezmath
Did you miss our IM K–5 Math™ webinar, Racial Justice in Math Education? Check out the recording to watch a brilliant panel of math education scholars and experts discuss ways to disrupt patterns of racial inequity in mathematics. #LearnWithIM https://t.co/7wYfVLSUol
