@alison_ellefson Making sure they are on the right place of their ZPD!

[Mrs. Kleese @devan_kay]

@mrsmhempeck they also will always want to know why they need to learn that! It's important to give learning a purpose!

[Alison Ellefson @alison_ellefson]

High level tasks have Ss not only engaged but use productive struggle, strategies and make connections to content! #worthwhile #EEC324S17

I believe that math is a discipline in itself and a tool to understand and interact with the world and other academic disciplines

@a_dells16 this stood out to me as well. You just don't usually think of things from tho viewpoint.

"Almost all the experiences discussed in American classrooms are approached from the standpoint of white perspective." #eec324s17

@mrsmhempeck this is so true! Everyone has a different background and teachers need to be able to work to help all of them.

"It is recommended that teachers know how students linguistic, ethnic, racial, and gender background influence their learning of math"

@mckaylaaubrey I know, the ending was much better but I didn't have room in a tweet 😂😂

[Mrs. Kleese @devan_kay]

"Math was like you were boxed in and it was every man for themselves." Such a sad way for a student to feel about the curriculum!

#EEC324S17 "Fingers should be used for students learning numbers and arithmetic." Stopping finger use can halt mathematical development.

[Mrs. Kleese @devan_kay]

@MsLMeredith I love this! Using your fingers was always frowned upon in school! I'm glad they are looking at it differently now!

"We all have to believe in ourselves to unlock our unlimited potential." What a great talk!! #eec324s17
