@BowTiedBroke I talk to bears in the wild (respectfully). I feel like chainsaw bear would actually talk back. Soulmates?? Followed and wearing my best flannel for him.

Perfect analogy for what happens when we do too much for our students. Goal is to develop independent problem solvers who can generalize and apply what they know to what they don't know!

@MsCastillosMath I didn't realize today was your last day. Sorry I wasn't able to see you to say good luck. Thanks for all the great things you've taught me and all the wonderful things you've brought to our District. You will be greatly missed.

I love the creative ways 1st graders are solving 2-digit addition/subtraction problems with regrouping on i-ready testing this year. All because of the great place value foundation from @IllustrateMath. They usually just guess on these 2nd grade questions. @MsCastillosMath

Thanks again for a wonderful book study this year. Can’t wait for the new adventures next year. #SPSMathChat

A7: One of my biggest take aways is that you can do a lot more damage to a student's math learning when you step in too early with help and strategies...sometimes the best thing to do as a teacher is to stay quiet. #SPSMathChat
