@ChristineLPercy Also, like True or False. Has a similar structure to a number talk, but students can sometimes just use relational thinking without computing to determine if the equation/inequality is true or false. #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

@ChristineLPercy Yes, love number talks for highlighting relationships and properties of operations in a way that is student-driven! #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

@HDascheberg Love this idea! #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

A5: Notice and Wonder is one of my favorites! Here's one that gets at understanding the concept of measuring liquid volume. #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

@HDascheberg Yes, agreed on both of these. Deep understanding of place value and the distributive property are so important! #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

@HDascheberg Agreed on the common language. I think the fractions work was still in grade 1 in MAFS, it was just under the geometry domain. #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

@CSStarling @FCTMath Agreed on both of these! #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

A4: I like creating opportunities for students to connect different representations of the same concept. #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

A3: Catalyzing Change is a series from NCTM and calls out some important topics towards the end of the text. It's also organized by domain which makes it a quick read if your looking for a specific topic. #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

A1: I'm wondering if the B.E.S.T. standards consistently specify WHAT students need to understand. #fctmchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

@ChristineLPercy Agreed. I think conceptual understanding definitely supports application! #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

Here's a grade 3 example from the previous MAFS standards to the B.E.S.T. standards. #FCTMchat

[Zack Hill @zack_hill]

Here's a grade 1 example from the previous MAFS standards to the B.E.S.T. standards. #fctmchat
