@robertkaplinsky @pgliljedahl As a teacher it is way easier for me to at a glance see what's going on when they are working vertically compared to horizontally-easier to keep the flow going.

@TessRileyVP Small hand made sand tray with some rocks and a tiny rake. People rake the sand while talking- it’s slightly larger than a piece of paper but kids and adults gravitate to it

@BCnumeracy @srobinsonSD64 @jencarterbc @SandraBall1 @lightbody_d @JessicaWillows1 So much joy from working alongside teachers so commited to opening up the world of math for ALL students. Quote of the week (year) from one of their students "I didn't know I was good at math. It turns out I am" #lifechanging

A4: I often say, "assessment IS relationship-building." Relationships built on the periphery (i.e., "How was your weekend?") are fine, but how we handle their learning tells them all they need to know about our priorities & whether they truly matter as human beings. #ATAssessment

I am happy to announce that a supplement to Building #thinkingclassroom will be out September 1. In it I look at 12 different settings including teaching online, hybrid, in-person with social distancing, one-on-one, supporting unfinished learning, etc.

@StJamesCoachO @pgliljedahl They are regular white boards mounted directly to outside of school- under cover. Left outside. The courtyard is in centre of school (no public access). Well done Principal @mmarino18 !

After handing back their tests, I will have my students read this article about the four types of mistakes and have them reflect on what types of mistakes they made on their tests.

#openmiddlebook Ts. What does everyone think if we take screenshots of the problems we’re working on with a link to the original problem on the OM website so that others can share strategies and solutions? This would create a bank of great resources for all Ts to use! #iteachmath
