Hey math teachers, as you plan your summer reading, check out this new one by an amazing husband and wife team-both experts in math and literacy. I think high school teachers would also appreciate the thinking in this book. @delta_dc and @literacygurl

Preach @literacygurl! What are the multiple modes for learning mathematics? Play, exploration and intentional learning are all a part of the experience #mia2024

Public shoutout to @kristibaumbach for setting the stage for productive walkthroughs this week. Bringing context really helped the interactions gain traction. Your feedback for me about clarity is still reverberating 3 days later! Appreciate you @WolvesWps #MichME

You know when you walk into a classroom and just feel welcome? Autumn’s 3rd grade class at @WolvesWps reminded us content is important but so is being polite and encouraging others. Those kids truly cared for each other. #MichME

And I'm just passing along John Hattie's work:
"The remarkable feature of the evidence is that the greatest effects on student learning occur when teachers become learners of their own teaching, and when students become their own teachers."
(p.14, 2012)

A third grade student just referenced the 90s as the “olden days” during a notice/wonder. We laughed but couldn’t help but made us wonder - Do you see 20 years before you were born as the olden days?

This 4th grade class at @WyomingWolves modeled inclusion, belonging, flexible thinking and such an effective use of time with @IllustrateMath. Teacher reflection - “I just trusted the program and students” #MichME

How do our natural ways of learning align with the project design elements?
What about the teaching practices and what we know about high-quality instruction in our current system? 🤔 #PBL #PrBL

First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
And third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

“Tasks that ask for students to perform a memorized procedure in a routine manner lead to one level of thinking; tasks that ask students to think conceptually lead to a very different set of thinking processes.” #MiMathEssentials

“Subitizing goes up to 2nd and 3rd grade. Don’t ignore it!” - @DHClements #MiMathEssentials
Perceptual subitizing - quickly see and recognize one group
Conceptual subitizing - quickly see 2 quantities and mentally combine them
