I had so much fun participating in math site visits today. These mathematicians did an awesome job justifying their thinking and modeling their math. Thank you @mrsaustind95 and Ms. Salmon for welcoming us in your rooms.
When students learn all the stats about the Appalachian Trail, and then get to privately correspond with an Olympic silver medalist while he hikes the entire Trail, your district instructional model comes to life! #empower95@moreanoLZ95@LindsayKopinski@katieedengler
Discussing attributes with first grade, a student commented that attributes are describing words and then said, "just like adjectives! We learned about adjectives earlier today. Are attributes math adjectives?" Be still my heart! @LindsayKopinski@katieedengler@moreanoLZ95
These first grade mathematicians enjoyed convergent thinking tasks to sort objects based on self- identified attributes with the help of our 12th grade intern. Such rich conversations! #empowerD95@moreanoLZ95@katieedengler@LindsayKopinski
I had the best email from a parent during our snow day yesterday. So much of what we teachers do is backed by data and research and best practices, which is all important. But, this is the sweet spot we don't often see and can't measure. #empowerD95
Friday night spent with @makemathmoments getting in some professional development to impact my mathematicians. Bring on another day of it tomorrow - tonight's sessions were great! #empowerD95
