What are some ways to get students talking about math from a conceptual perspective in the k-12 setting? The first things that come to mind are number talks and 3-act tasks. Any other recommendations? #MTBoS #iteachmath

@alexisnoelleb Georgia Numeracy Project might be helpful here. Slide 20 has the links. Cause for Concern (Tier 2) Numeracy Activities and At-Risk (Tier 3) Numeracy Activities or Activities Resource Book. https://t.co/46DyADawW5

@techknowmath @pgliljedahl Thanks! Would you say you use BTC daily? Could you tell me about how it has shaped other instructional practices such as assessments and homework?

@Lauren18321679 I just started it. Do you run your class using this group problem-solving philosophy daily? Have your assessments changed with your adoption of BTC?

@MissS_music The right environment makes a huge difference. Glad to see you stuck with it and found a place where you can thrive!

@raj_raizada @Desmos This is great! Thanks for sharing this!

@AntoinetteSTEAM @STEAMTEAMS1 @WeAreTeachers @ARTiSTEAMs I like this idea! I don’t know about copyright law for art, but could you use a photo editing tool to change the contrast/highlights/shadows on the picture and then let them create problems.

@mel_science I’m listening…

[Georgia Math Teacher @georgia_math]

@AntoinetteSTEAM Reminds me of Piaget and working toward conceptual understanding instead of just procedural fluency.

@AntoinetteSTEAM This is great! Love seeing things outside my content that make me consider how it might translate to math. Thanks!

[Georgia Math Teacher @georgia_math]

@AntoinetteSTEAM That’s a great point—are we trying to cover material as a checklist or are we looking for conceptual understanding? Thanks for sharing!

Thinking ab getting S to develop a representation of big & small numbers as intro to Sci. Not. in the future. It’s a topic I don’t love teaching & I feel like this will help them make it their own & I’ll enjoy teaching it more. Anyone done something similar? #mtbos #iteachmath

[Georgia Math Teacher @georgia_math]

@SpiveyEducation I like it! Exponential functions offer so many applications. I feel like you could have some interesting conversations about why exponential functions with greater exponents tend to offer better models for a set of data.

If you could only teach one concept from your curriculum before students moved on, what would you teach and why? #iteachmath #MTBoS

@MissKMaths Such a great point! The applications of division are all over! Unit rate and slope are two things that immediately come to mind that are applications of division. Thanks for sharing!

@DBlankenbecler Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your input!

[Georgia Math Teacher @georgia_math]

#mtbos #iteachmath any input on creating benchmarks? We're set to begin this process on Monday, and any advice is appreciated!

[Georgia Math Teacher @georgia_math]

@DBlankenbecler That’s a great point. I think coming out of a pandemic makes it even more important to identify priority standards and assess student learning with the intent to inform instruction and help students succeed—not punitive. What are your thoughts?
