math teacher looking to reflect and learn in community. Striving to make every student's experience of math class meaningful and enjoyable #mtbos#openupmath
I've been exploring numeral systems with middle school kids this past year, and I'm excited to share what I've learned so far at CMC South. We will engage in math activities, hear from students, and learn about a few numeral systems from history. #cmcmath@CAMathCouncil
@untilnextstop @matherinep I love this idea and am curious how long it takes each day. Does everyone share their answer? Do they explain their thinking? Thanks!
@LampertJessica Don Steward has amazing resources and your @Desmos version is so impressive! Planning to share your activity with other teachers at my school. Thank you for sharing and glad that the timing was right :)

@shskaercher $$ but also - as a classroom teacher - the time away from students...when I'm at a conference, they have a sub which usually means, no learning.
@KentHaines I can see it help some teachers shift their perception of students ideas because the language encourages us to see value in what kids do think and know even if they are "wrong."
@KentHaines I think if Ts already believe that kids are coming to the table with lots of ideas(ie conceptions) about math that may or may not be "right" and that our job is to understand their thinking+engage with their reasoning.....the "it's not a misconception" feels annoying. But 1/2
