How can we support conceptual understanding in algebra? @annabartel_ is showing the effects of self-explanation with and without tape diagrams on conceptual knowledge in algebra #MCLS2020bLATENIGHT

As with so many other issues related to pedagogy, computing ed at ungraduate level for non-CS majors could use ideas from K-12 #STEM #Computing integration research. We def address #3 & #4, and #2 as well (recognizing domain practices as part of the integration). #NSFcisePI2021

Use @GraspableMath? Use @Desmos? Use both! You can easily move your work between GM and D. GM->D: Click on the circle to copy, and ctrl- (or cmd-)-v to paste. D-> GM: highlight and ctrl-c to copy, insert a GM equation, and control-v to paste into the keyboard. Happy mathing!

This was the most missed problem type for many years. Using @GraspableMath changed that. Bad habits don't develop (distributing into the squared binomial) and students can make sense of the process while learning the process. #iteachmath #mtbos #edtech #PLN

What do you think about standardized testing? I’ll be sharing my thoughts on Thursday!
0% Belong in education
17% Does not belong
83% Belong but need to change

What do you think the role of standardized testing in education should be and why? We're asking big questions this week with @LSTWPI. Weigh in here or join us Thursday from 11am-12pmET for a virtual brown-bag session!
