HelenWilt Aug 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 I give my Ss choice in their projects by giving a menu board. Also letting them choose 8 out of 10 problems. They ♡ that. #learnlap

TeacherLadyKY Aug 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Discourse in math is so important and I think sometimes discounted. They need to be able to debate to problem solve. #LearnLAP

TeacherRunner42 Aug 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@HelenWilt Do you get Ss asking "can we do all 10?" :) #LearnLAP

Mr_Ullman Aug 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 in all classes, Ss can choose how to present their learning. #LearnLAP

MrRussoRH Aug 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1.2: many Ts are flipping instruction and using video capture to record their work to post for Ss to revisit later. #LearnLAP

MathDenisNJ Aug 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: A great way to give choice is using @desmos for Ss to display their learning. https://t.co/vctgbmxkaO #learnlap https://t.co/hvpufcWodm

@teach1991 I wrote how I use it in my book, Instant Relevance. But It's a great way to have Ss think, even if not on topic #learnlap

TeacherLadyKY Aug 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@HelenWilt Would love to see an example of your menu board! Great way to include lots of options for Ss. #LearnLAP

@HelenWilt Do you get Ss asking "can we do all 10?" :) #LearnLAP

pearse_margie Aug 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#learnlap A1: sometimes a quick way to incorporate choice in math is to have "Must do" and "Can do's"

MathDenisNJ Aug 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@MrRussoRH @Desmos 6-12 are best, but can do some elementary with their activities. go to https://t.co/z5BG3VY01P and jump in! #learnlap

MViTDiTeach Aug 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@HelenWilt Did menu boards, but was finding too many students chose same things, even when I said they could only do each thing 1x #LearnLAP

@TeacherRunner42 I love the mullet ratio project in The Classroom Chef and have some classic pics of me with a mullet in the 80s! #LearnLAP

MViTDiTeach Aug 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@Kuglmee Bring food into the classroom & you have all engaged, just like food into staff room makes happy Ts! #LearnLAP

stephteachnz Aug 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Q5 Our inquiry focus is olympics so we got our Ss measuring their jump in a long jump competition. Creating real experiences! #learnlap

teach1991 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Q6 Turn and talk, sharing different ways to solve the same problem, etc. #learnlap https://t.co/vGVEpxvXju

#learnlap A5 Still need to read the book!:) -I do my best to ask Ss to literally look for math everywhere, pay attention to it, & be curious

teach1991 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@MViTDiTeach @Kuglmee We have a no food policy, even for learning experiences. :-( #LearnLAP

TeacherRunner42 Aug 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@Math912Teacher I show it at the beginning of every term, and it is on our main math page on our online learning mgmt system #LearnLAP

MViTDiTeach Aug 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6: Collab element of PBL has Ss share their understanding/answers w/partner then group, constant check for understanding from all #LearnLAP

jillemacd Aug 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6 Encourage talk as they work!!! Reflection: Turn and Talk, Tell what your partner said to you about their learning. #LearnLAP

MViTDiTeach Aug 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@teach1991 @Kuglmee District does, but Ad more flex if can be justified with learning #LearnLAP

FloradTeach Aug 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6 Need to model ... Provide sentence stems, questions they can ask each other, give them time and facilitate and then let them go #LearnLAP

TeacherRunner42 Aug 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@Ms_MathQueen yup! we have a talk about "what do you think she studies in college?" Ss usu. say "art""music" "fashion" #breakmolds #LearnLAP

TrudeauLisa Aug 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Looking forward to the answers for this Q2. Wish there was an = to @donalynbooks 40 bk Chal, but for math #LearnLAP https://t.co/n5OZKNo2sx

Q2 See question below. Please share resources and practices that work in your classroom. #learnLAP https://t.co/PXc6iFmP1h

TeacherLadyKY Aug 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Used to do Great Math Debate. Ss solved on their own - then had to come together in group & choose 1 best answer. Lots of talk. #learnlap

MViTDiTeach Aug 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@TeacherLadyKY What grade level did you use with? Sounds fun! #LearnLAP

pearse_margie Aug 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

#learnlap A6: Build a community of learners from Day 1.- where we all share,discuss, support,strategize, defend, laugh, and argue over math

teach1991 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@TeacherRunner42 Total medals won for country compared to how many gold, silver, bronze. Decimals with track and swimming times. #learnlap

TeacherLadyKY Aug 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@MViTDiTeach I used grade-level word problems. Great to encourage talking among students. #learnlap

TeacherRunner42 Aug 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@Math912Teacher no worries - have plenty more where that came from! #learnlap https://t.co/zOzebizY03

MrDurajWildcats Aug 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6:after a problem I ask them to solve,they need to double check with their table.I always ask if it was solved it differently #LearnLAP

nbartley6 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

#LearnLAP A6 Often asked Ss to discuss a ? about math on the Morning Message & even to look for patterns in the date-they became obsessed:)

teach1991 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@TeacherRunner42 @MViTDiTeach @Kuglmee Yup. :-( #LearnLAP

Kuglmee Aug 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6: Accountable talk. Just printed out the posters for 1st graders last night. #learnlap

TeacherRunner42 Aug 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@teach1991 we did a "olympinomics" activity w/ similar theme #LearnLAP

TrudeauLisa Aug 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@pearse_margie Would love to learn more about S-led math conferences. Could you suggest a site I could check out?#LearnLAP

HelenWilt Aug 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

Internet went down :( #LearnLAP

ronaldfisher Aug 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6 (Jumping in after a Hiatus) realized I need my #LearnLAP. To get Ss to talk about Math build up, not just a problem but real life.

TeacherRunner42 Aug 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@HelenWilt mine did too! weird! #learnlap

teach1991 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Q7 Ss reflect on what they have learned? Students choose how to represent what they have learned? Etc. #learnlap https://t.co/uGFR2DA1u5

teach1991 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@TrudeauLisa @donalynbooks Marilyn Burns?? Nicki Newton? Hmmm... Love @donalynbooks :-) #LearnLAP

Kuglmee Aug 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6 pt2: also they work with partners and groups so they talk quite a bit. Sometimes it is even about math #learnlap https://t.co/1vbk6xPtNt

MViTDiTeach Aug 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A7: This is where I am stuck. Typically take notes for review of procedures/rules, not much Ss choice/voice #LearnLAP

jillemacd Aug 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7 This is a topic I want/need to explore more. Have seen it in LA and loved it. Want it to be more than just cut and paste. #LearnLAP

teach1991 - Moderator Aug 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@TeacherRunner42 Share more, please. #LearnLAP

TeacherLadyKY Aug 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

Love journals - lets Ss prove what they know in their own way. Total choice in that regard. #LearnLAP

Kuglmee Aug 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7: they could present on the doc camera but I didn't use those math journals much #learnlap

MrDurajWildcats Aug 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7: progress monitoring sheets. S's record learning targets and confidence levels. Leads to intervention #LearnLAP https://t.co/HqcoL4Pftn

A7 #LearnLAP Math notebooks are not the Ts but the Ss any extra doodling is warranted.

JessieRErickson Aug 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7: Love how interactive notebooks allow for Ss to process and sketch what they are learning about. Share during status of class. #learnlap

A8 Provide multiple opportunities for Ss to explain their understanding. Expect that they can demonstrate in more than one way. #LearnLAP

pearse_margie Aug 29 @ 8:56 PM EDT

#learnlap A8: Give first couple questions on a test on a separate sheet and let groups tackle them together. Builds confidence.

FloradTeach Aug 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@TeacherRunner42 @pearse_margie #LearnLAP yes, I modelled a lot, but was also conscious as I wanted Ss to write freely, stems can restrict

HelenWilt Aug 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A8 I like 2 question assessments that are open-ended. Love to read their thought process. Multiple choice doesn't tell me anything #LearnLAP

MViTDiTeach Aug 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@HelenWilt Use multiple choice for basic concept, then add open ended to see depth of understanding #LearnLAP
