Assessment and DF in small group. Feels like that's more important than independent deliberate practice. Tie for second! 🥈 Can't really envision quality math instruction without all 3 of those playing a major role. To be continued...

Words of encouragement from a terrific teacher! The team @cb_stirling has worked INCREDIBLY hard in math all year. Although the work is not done, it has been pretty cool to see how much of a difference a team of invested educators can make!

I just keep coming back to how important multiple visual representations are in math. If your lesson isn't including a visual, you're doing something wrong.
