After exploring @gfletchy cubes image talk, we set the stage to explore: I grabbed 1 more red than yellow, how many could I grab? Students made conclusions that the answers will always be odd, yellow will always be one less and want to explore what happens with 2 more tomorrow!
After our @gfletchy fluency kit image talk with peppers, we explored if there was other ways we could arrange the 10 peppers - it was a student idea to use our red and yellow counters to show their thinking.
We loved having Derrick Barnes at @hweDCSD today!
First and Second graders shared their math thinking from The Queen of Kindergarten and shared what makes them the kings and queens of Hopewell 👑
Math thinking with “The Queen of Kindergarten” to get ready for our author visit with Derrick Barnes!
Some challenging numberless word problems turned into great conversations, exploring with tools, and being able to explain our thinking.
There is GNOME place like Hopewell! @hweDCSD
Students found different ways to represent their numbers.
Can you figure out how much each shape is worth on their gnome?!
Standards weren’t created to be checked off like a list as we teach them. Ss need many varied experiences & opportunities with concepts to move them along the learning trajectory. Each experience is an opportunity for the T & Ss to gain info abt where they are in their learning
I am a huge fan of the way @thestrokeofluck describes just-in-time scaffolding vs just-in-case scaffolding. It helped me realize why I made the wrong choices early in my career & gave me a way to describe what we should be doing instead: https://t.co/ZTIe4geftl
