I shared something similar! But I like how this would help the students understand the addition of two decimals because they are able to visualize it! #431MNSUF19
This is an awesome activity that you can do with your class! It will help your students with comparing fraction sizes! I am definitely excited to do this with my students #literacy
I love finding and reading about new math manipulatives that are being created! This is a great manipulative that can guide students to make sense of decimals and their relation to fractions!

"5 Indicators of Decimal Understanding" By Cramer, Monson, Ahrendt, Colum, Wiley, and Wyberg gave great examples of student misconceptions when it comes to comparing decimals. Many students are still in a whole number mindset when seeing decimals for the first time. #431MNSUF19
Ms. Wiley’s mathematicians take on their first Open Middle challenge @robertkaplinsky Collaborating and persevering through multiple attempts, they found great patterns and relationships between and among fractions! @TerrasetES@MathematicsFcps#fcps
From 5 Indicators of Decimals Understanding by Cramer, Monson, Ahrendt, Colum, Wiley, and Weyberg. I loved being able to see the student work and their understanding of the relationship between decimals and fractions. Then also the misconceptions with decimals. #431MNSUF19
From Putting Essential Understanding of Fractions into Practice by NCTM. I liked looking at how learning fractions can relate to learning decimals. Then looking at some common misconceptions when working with decimals. #431MNSUF19
I think that everything teachers do in the classroom can effect how students see the work around them. Teachers need to teach their students how to positively view people who are different then them by using many different lessons in the classroom. #431MNSUF19
Teaching is not a neutral activity. Everything that happens in schools is embedded in cultural, social, and political contexts that shape the way students experience schooling. #mathequity#TMfSJ#NCTMlive
It is important to make sure all students feel like they are valued and treated equally in a math classroom. Let every student voice their ideas. #431MNSUF19
Our jobs as teachers is to make every student believe that they are mathematicians. We need to make them feel like an important part of math discussion in the classroom and that they have valuable information to share.
Let’s listen to our students. No matter how ostracized they feel - no matter their relationship with mathematics - no matter their race or background. It’s our job to make each and every student understand they are part of something bigger and to let them know that they matter.
This is very important in classrooms. Not seeing color in the class means you don’t care about the color of their skin. Teachers need to understand how each students backgrounds can help create a
positive learning environment for everyone.
“I don’t see color, I just see kids.”
Teachers NEED to see color because it is one of the things that make your students unique. ❤️ #edchat#educolor https://t.co/IGoiERbyQs
