Depth is very important for our Ss... also using number talks to meet them where they are and value their strategies #SwDMathChat

In reply to @LibrariansSoul

A2: And how do we convince ourselves/others that the problem solving can contribute to skill work? #SwDMathChat

THis is a GREAT point, Annie. We argue about this in our dept meeting frequently. I firmly believe it does, but until the Ts+ #SwDmathchat

I was there. Maybe I'm influenced a bit! ..that and it fit perfectly into my belief of teaching! I told my dept all about it! #SwDMathChat

In reply to @MFAnnie

MFAnnie May 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Do you think that is cuz they have limited view of what constitutes "math"? Or fault of standards? Or...? #SwDMathChat

In reply to @jennalaib

jennalaib May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Unsure. It's certainly the easier to quantify, and this demonstrate measurable progress! #SwDmathchat

In reply to @MFAnnie

jennifuhs4 May 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT

and building efficient methods from where the Ss are... and where they can be most efficient. not all Ss do math the same. #SwDmathchat

In reply to @MissMath_Teach

In reply to @jennalaib, @MFAnnie

In reply to @bkdidact

jennifuhs4 May 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Great question. I'm interested in what people deem "not applicable" I think many ppl might have diff opinions #SwDmathchat

In reply to @mrshainesmath

MFAnnie May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Yea, harder to judge a S saying, "Let me tell you everything I know about this problem." But maybe more valuable/useful. #SwDMathChat

Question 4: What's it look like in your class? #SwDMathChat

jennalaib May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Right, I'm not sure I know how to define "non applicable" because it's possible to connect math ideas to more ideas! Applying? #SwDMathChat

In reply to @jennifuhs4, @mrshainesmath

HeatherSugrue May 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

I don't like it. I generated a few scenarios this yr that made me wonder and want to know more, then had the Ss do the same. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @jennifuhs4

MissMath_Teach May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 Takes a lot of perseverance to work through patterns, problems and puzzles. Ss math confidence grows & expands def of math #SwDmathchat

jennifuhs4 May 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT

I 100% agree. Many of my Ts struggle to answer the "Why are we learning this?" Q. #SwDMathChat

A4: Real-world in my class can look like barbie ziplines or we do word problems but I let Ss tear apart how silly they are + #SwDmathchat

MFAnnie May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: I want it to look like Ss' ideas driving the math in the classroom. That's "real". #SwDMathChat

aboone_angie May 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: fractions, measuring, multi step problems #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 May 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5 In my very mixed class, SwD often share a unique approach to a problem when others just regurgitate a certain method #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 May 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: My Ss with LBLD struggle often with comp so they find unique ways to compute. It's always amazing how they see/solve it #SwDMathChat

jennifuhs4 May 11 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Yes. Reminds me of a talk at NCTM... are we teaching math history or math? Ss thinking guiding a class is not math history #SwDMathChat

And removing the Q, and asking about ideas, is a lot less scary. They can't "know" they can't do it, cuz there's no "it". #SwDMathChat

Be vulnerable ourselves. Create safe enviro. "mistakes" ok - allow time for depth. Accept all answers. Start where they are #SwDMathChat

I like covering all white boards in room with S's #NoticeWonder ideas. Very visible. And everyone listens to each idea. #SwDMathChat

Love it! I wish I had the space. I share a room. I use Seesaw with my Ss and post their awesome "thoughts" not solutions :) #SwDMathChat

I want them to look back and see how their thinking and modeling has improved. It's not even about the answer! #SwDmathchat

If possible have Ss write #NoticeWonder ideas down, share w/partner/team, then Ss have more bandwidth to listen to other ideas. #SwDMathChat

Luckily I make mistakes frequently as I tend to write my numbers out of order. DOH! #SwDMathChat

Yes! It can kill confidence & cause shut down. Been focusing a lot on @joboaler work w #growthmindset to try to move past this #SwDMathChat

Lots of easel paper. Can also type in a Word doc on projector (faster for me, and avoids my bad handwriting). #SwDMathChat

Timing is key for when Ss should share. My Ss will turn to the "alpha" in the room if it's too early in the process #SwDmathchat

I personally love being critiqued about how my 5s look like Ss. :P #SwDmathchat
