@mpershan @CAnalytic @pgliljedahl Examples of "mimicking" to me include:
-Students reproducing the method of an example without reflecting on whether and how it works for the new problem
-Admins who make teachers copy superficial features of particular successful classrooms without considering their purpose

What if the goal of math was to support the development of strategic sense makers? We need to redefine what an expert learner in mathematics looks like! #NCTMLA22 #MTBoS #phledmath @mathematize4all

I've used this idea in my class and really liked it!

We "need to realize that the quality of mental process, not the production of correct answers, is the measure of educative growth" (John Dewey, 1926). Nearly 100 years later, this message rings true!

“What if instead of asking who has the answer, we ask who has the method to solve it?” Students may not realize they need to plan to solve a problem. Find out how to make sure they don’t skip this essential step.

New TikTok video: Integer subtraction without relying on "two negatives make a positive"

[Zarina Gearty @GeartyZarina]

I'm all about this! To encourage students to answer our question, we need to rethink HOW we ask the question.

[Ashley Taplin @ashleyptaplin]

First time I shifted to “what Qs do you have” it transformed my practice. I’ve recently been hearing more great ways to rephrase other Qs, so I’m starting a list for classroom and coaching language to share. I’d love to add to it- what would you add? #mtbos #iteachmath #educoach

what a fun way to ask which of the answers is wrong

[JoAnn Sandford @joann_sandford]

When we noticed a common error in student thinking @vtargett and I made a warm-up to get students talking, arguing, representing, and really understanding the math. We've got it now!
