@Nanabarb99 A very happy 70 bday Barbara. You are such a great inspiration, an amazing educator & most important such a kind & caring empathetic person.
@kathleenhansell @Nanabarb99 @jodiharben@JodieLandon2@fayepap@AhllamMourad@elizabeth_rump As teachers we need to be careful about quality of framing questions. Well crafted questions can stimulate critical thinking but poorly constructed questions can hinder learning by creating confusion & limiting critical thinking….
When student are given the opportunities of making their thinking visible, it really helps them to communicate their thinking with others. Drawing a picture & a diagram is the corner store of problem solving and needs to be well embedded @Nanabarb99 @kath_cartwright@jodiharben
Is that mathematical? This week’s blog looks at noticing maths concepts around us and using real world examples to make connections. @primarylearnau #primarylearning https://t.co/lXPlLCCItS
@Nanabarb99 @LeylaDerbas@AhllamMourad@kathleenhansell@iroundsnsw@fayepap@jodiharben@JodieLandon2 As we can see that all the elements has significant importance & are deeply connected however I’m a strong advocate of building mathematical meta-language paving way for quality maths talk & questioning techniques. Missing being the part of high quality IR with you Barbara.
