The teacher analyzes the students' discussion and makes decisions about where to go next. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/o5qJh01mfh

[Monroe Julius @MsMonroeJulius]

When discussions are student centered, what is the role of the teacher? #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

One norm is "it's okay to make mistakes and revise our thinking" Ss must feel comfortable to take risks and share their ideas. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/uvelPhpuIY

[Anna Willems @msu_annaw]

Q3: Explain one norm we want to foster when starting Open Strategy Sharing in our classroom. #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

@amandamaesays Students may be confused by the same number being represented in multiple different forms. #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

A3: Students may think that because a decimal is longer, that it is also larger. For example .52 and .8 #EEC324S17M https://t.co/tH6WqalnX0

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

Substitute a percent that is easier to work with so students can solve and make connections. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/8OSXphykYR

[Katie @kemeger]

Q1:"Many percent problems don't have simple numbers" Describe 1 way you can help Ss with estimation in percents and how it helps
#EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

Estimation is essential for student understanding as well as justification and reasoning of responses. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/9tivwOmymH

[Marina Pavek @MarinaPavek]

Q4: Why is estimation essential for students to understand when learning to multiply/divide decimals? #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

@ijohnseipel If ss memorize procedures w/o understanding they are at risk of struggling w/ future math&college & career success #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

A2: The area model is one. The area of the region defines the whole, and the equal area defines the part. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/tt6yF40xT8

[Devan Masessa @MissMasessa]

Q2: What is one model for fraction concepts? What defines the whole? What defines the part? #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

A1: Students need time and many experiences with fractions in order to develop a deep conceptual understanding. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/inOBJJAnTB

[Kali Cummins @MsKaliCummins]

Q1: What is one of most important factors that students need to develop a deep conceptual understanding of fractions? #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

Teachers are not the answer key. Ss must engage in a productive struggle to discover and create answers on their own. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/jCWi4mVZ2T

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

Q3: "It is in the after phase of a lesson where much of the learning will occur" Why is this true? #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

A3: When ss solve for a variable, they may think that's the only value the variable has. This can lead to confusion later on #EEC324S17M https://t.co/IfKGxPi3iP

[Amy Delaney✌️ @a_dells16]

Q3: What misconceptions or limited conceptions do Ss have regarding variables? What causes these misconceptions? #eec324s17m

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

A4: Create meaningful uses to show students, creating meaning and making connections to real life uses. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/tPAdPLRUik

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

A1: Variables are used to represent an unknown quantity. In a number sentence, a missing number can be represented by a letter n #EEC324S17M https://t.co/SKMQcVJxXL

[Mackenzie Mrkvicka @MsMrkvicka]

Q1: What is the use in using variables? What are some ways in which they are used? #EEC324S17M

[Lauren Meredith @MsLMeredith]

A3: Patterns help ss make connections. Patterns are everywhere, and ss will see these patterns in the real world as well. #EEC324S17M https://t.co/xQAVVLu5nF

[Ashley Rogers @Ms_ARogers]

Q2 Why is it important for Ss to look for patterns in mathematics? #EEC324S17M
