Skateville to end out the week! This was the first skating experience for most which also meant A LOT of falls, but also A LOT of smiles! Proud of these kids for representing Otown and for persisting even after gravity decided to take them down! #OwatonnaProud#themiddlematters
A2: The teacher's role is to support and guide student discussions as well as monitor their understanding

A1: Discussions can include tools such as cubes, protractors, and chart to help support student's development.

A3: Share our mathematical ideas with classmates. Ss can learn new ways to approach problems through other Ss.

A3: longer is larger. Ss think that the longer the number is greater than the shorter decimal. Ex: .156 is greater than .4 #EEC324S17M https://t.co/8nUEi6YtUO
A4: Estimation can help Ss build an understanding of decimals in equations and help them determine if the answer is reasonable. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/6duVnAcRCP
Ss may think the numerator and denominator are separate numbers or not equal parts of a whole. Visuals and number lines can help #EEC324S17M https://t.co/3ll9o5nvOL
A2: Set. The whole is defined as the value that is determined as one set. The part is defined as equal number of objects.

A1:Ss need time for the productive struggle & differentiated instruction to understand that fractions represent many concepts.
#EEC324S17M https://t.co/3rQYEfGOUT
A3: During this time, Ss can explain and explore multiple methods/strategies used by their peers and it allows collaboration!

A2: The teacher needs to allow a productive struggle for Ss to make sense of math on their own. We are not an answer key!
#EEC324S17M https://t.co/a3MX1D77dE
A1: Ss can use variables to solve for an unknown quantity and it helps them write equations for those unknown quantities!

A2:Finding patterns helps Ss develop a concept understanding of concepts and it is common in math as well as the real world!

A4: Ss might use guessing without any evidence to back up their guess, where estimation is using the evidence they already have.
#EEC324S17M https://t.co/CqfLbpE1KE
A1: Ss can better their conceptual understanding by finding multiple ways to solve problems and explore other possible methods.
