How do you celebrate Ss' hidden strengths?
For T @bcpssmath_k_2, a little shift in perspective can make all the difference!
ALT "I try to frame all of my students' frustrating qualities as strengths that they don't yet know how to harness whenever I can. They can't mind their own business? They care deeply about justice. They have trouble completing their work? They care deeply about doing a good job. It's my job to help them see how to use their talents to help themselves and others." āTeacher Maggie Rathgeber
This morning with @BCPSMATH we talked about how our students are accessing quadratic functions and the many entry points they could use to solve their math tasks.
We also talked about strategies to progress them toward the grade level standards of these task.
Thanks to @BCPSMATHās Math Language Routine PD, we started our lesson with a compare & contrast activity, āWhat doesnāt belong?ā Added bonus, it took us straight into our doubling & halving problem string! @timbergroveES
4th grade students had a field trip to the Science Center. While we got to dive deeper into our science unit, we also got to explore our upcoming MATH unit- geometry & measurement! Students loved seeing the connections between the two subjects!!
Lamar in a Car returns to Room 27 āŗļø
Former students told their younger siblings to be on the lookout for Lamar in a Car once the @Ravens started their playoff drive. Kids were so excited to see him when they came to math this week!
On Monday I had a first in my teaching career⦠all feeder schools in one place!
Thank you @BCPSMATH for sharing your standard progression activity with us. The math teams definitely enjoyed seeing where these standards fell in the progression from 5 to Algebra.
Lots of professional learning by @BaltCoPS math teachers these last two days. We can't wait to hear how students benefit from your experience! Thanks @NCTM for hosting and providing this opportunity for us to learn and grow. #NCTMDC23
What an incredible round of professional learning! Touching base with HUNDREDS of teachers and a great showing from our Elementary Math Leaders. Iām fired up! Canāt wait to see our learning in action! @BCPSMATH@EmilyDwivedi@jndemuth@sbrownMRT@PyzikNick
