The #WestAdaMath Symposium is, by far, my favorite project I’ve worked on. I’m so grateful for the support and encouragement from our district leaders that made a dream come to life. We moved the ship 💙💛 @westadaschools #WeAreWestAda #ProudToBeWASD patriciavandenberg.com/2023/…

West Ada Math Symposium

Oh, hey there!  It’s been a minute since I last wrote and figured it was time to dust off this old blog and bring it back to life.  The last couple of years have been a whirlwind of new a…

When it comes to vertical alignment, I most often see upper grade Ts “informing” the lower grade Ts. In math, this can result in a race to the standard algorithm and losing sight of conceptual understanding. Do we take away manips too soon? Focus on procedures too early? 1/4

Because every year, we have Ss that operate “below grade level” and Ts need to do something about it. I wonder if Ts don’t know exactly how? Or what is most effective? Especially if the gap is far below their math understanding. 3/4

And if Ts don’t understand how math is conceptually taught in previous grade levels, how can they bridge the gap? Or maybe—what kind of bridge are they building? Is it a solid one, or a risky one that not all Ss can get across? How do we help Ts build more SOLID bridges? 4/4

Brought Ts to the #CPMTC2024 and they shared what they learned @MandyMathEd’s #RoughDraftMath with other Ts—who stacked it to their teaching routines and loved how their Ss responded! “I loved that, from the start of the task, Ss knew they were *expected* to revise their work!”

“Why do we feel the need to frontload terms, remove all roadblocks, and only gradually release students to explore mathematics on their own?” Such a great read from ⁦@MathsterVarnes⁩ on genuine student engagement. #MoreMath #iTeachMath #mtbos cpm.org/avoiding-spoilers-fo…

I’m pretty lucky to work with such hard working @westadaschools math teachers! I’m thankful they joined me to continue their learning at #CPMTC2024! Now it’s time to put a few things we’ve learned into action! #WeAreWestAda #WestAdaProud
