@MissSarahOSU @MissErinOSU Sarah I like that you are talking about collaborating. Not only can it lead to new ideas and help with misunderstanding, but it can simply motivate students to work through tough problems! They have someone to lessen the stress of being stumped by a problem.

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@miss_shelbyg @MissErinOSU Shelby I definitely agree with you! Students each understand and think about problems differently so when they work together, they can see problems in a new way. That collaboration could also lead to developing new strategies!

@MissErinOSU A9 #OSUElemMath Whenever I did not understand a concept because of use of language, I was always told to learn the language or specific terms. This never worked for me because I still did not know why it made sense. I would encourage peer collaboration and independent work so 1/2

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@MissErinOSU that multiple viewpoints can communicate and bring new ideas into the mix. We could see in the reading that Tom and Matt communicated a lot during their process and it built on their understanding of the material while also bringing out formal language! 1/2

@Miss_EmmaB @miss_shelbyg Emma I definitely agree with you about manipulative! I think they can make a huge difference for visual learners and students who are kinesthetic!

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@missckellyy @miss_shelbyg Catie— I love that you brought up bringing student interests into a problem! This would be a great way to introduce any new material because it’s another way to “hook” them and get them engaged!

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@miss_shelbyg for students to understand (ex: putting things in bags or splitting candy between friends) 2/2

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@miss_shelbyg A8 #OSUElemMath I would definitely us an approach similar to Murphy’s! I would let students work on the problem without any guidance or instruction so that they can try their own strategies. Additionally, I would make sure the problem is action-based so that is easier 1/2

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@DhamayanthyN @misskalyanova Dami— I really like the way you’re thinking about this! I would want to know this question too because I wonder if she would use the same base ten blocks again or use something different. I hadn’t thought about that!

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@misskalyanova A7 #OSUElemMath This video was so interesting! The student worked through the problem by starting with 12 using a ten block and 2 single blocks. She then repeated this process until she had 4 sets of 12 blocks. Something I would ask is what the numbers 4 and 12 meant to her (1/2)

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@misskalyanova when she initially heard the problem because she was very quick to write them down before starting to work through the problem! (2/2)

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@MissMcElroy_ A5 #OSUElemMath We can promote flexibility in strategies by using the direct modeling strategies that were mentioned in the readings. Providing this information is so important for struggling students because they may understand if they see the problem differently (1/2)

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@MissMacala @MissSarahOSU I think peer sharing is really powerful in all subjects! If a student is frustrated, they could learn something from a peer sharing their process or from sharing their process with another student who could tell them where they had a misstep or point of confusion.

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@MissSarahOSU A6 #OSUElemMath Like many of us have already said, I think it is important that many strategies are being used and shared in the classroom. Teachers can start off by modeling different strategies, but showing off a student’s strategy can give them a confidence boost! (1/2)

[Jada Jackson @teacherjada]

@MissSarahOSU By providing students a variety of materials (reference chart, manipulatives etc.) is a good way to encourage students to try/come up with new strategies! (2/2)
