Nice connection to my fraction unit.

Student: "When will we ever need the least common multiple (LCM)?" Well, in 2018 Facebook created a new unit of time called the "flick". The flick is found as the LCM of common video frame and audio sampling rates. More details in my video: https://t.co/CYvOobmi8V #mathematics

Always a good discussion!

I just posted a new blog (https://t.co/DZyxBs4dTG), inspired by a response from Westley Young (@Cukalu) to a previous post, a blog by Mark Chubb (@MarkChubb3), & various recent tweets about multiplying by 10. I love Twitter.

Is it better to solve problems in isolation or by collaborating with others?

Harvard research says . . . neither.

The best solutions come from "intermittent collaboration" -- group work punctuated by breaks to think & work by ourselves.

Interesting read after our conversation on feedback today. Sometimes we need to ask for feedback instead of waiting to receive it. https://t.co/0bBFdApvsP

So many areas we assess - great graphic!

Great ideas for students to extend tasks - open and differentiated.

[Ryan White @rwhite_teacher1]

Hey #MTBoS! Looking for ways for students to self-regulate and extend tasks? I have borrowed some ideas from @inquirymaths and created these printable cards to get the party started! Grab the high-rez files here: https://t.co/2f8gfjPL1z #iteachmath #HappyFriday

@HughesT0KY0 Interesting thought... I def encourage typing skills. Has made my life much easier.... but some of my third graders are using speech dictation now. Just a matter of time? (BTW - still believe in the importance of handwriting too)

[Laura Carlson @lcc543]

Good Read- "Intentionally designed classrooms...can improve student success" Bidwell; @HeidiHayesJacob School Admin Oct 2017

@mike_peto @JonathanPeto Interesting read. Don't think I'd be a fan implementing reading in this way but his underlying beliefs were good.
