Math has become the gatekeeper - and not in a good way! It shouldn't be!

A2. When I was a student, I remember wondering: when am I going to use this. Make math useful & relevant

Q3 How much time is T talking in math class? How about S? Who is learning?
#akedchat

Oct 23 @ 11:15 PM EDT
A3 T doing most of talking, S not talking, sitting. Not sure who is learning.

A3. Allowing the Ss to talk about content provides a deeper interaction with the content. Ts need to be intentional with Qs.

A3. I loved using
#MysteryNumber
&
#Gmttc
last year. Students learned from interacting with other students!

A3: sometimes math is hard to talk about - so much of math instruction is still just computation. not an interesting topic

I thought you were trying to trick me...I counted one by one in rows left to right.

Oct 23 @ 11:27 PM EDT
There are 24. I counted the vertical ones first (left to right) then the horizontal ones, so I didn’t count the same ones over.

Late to the party. Math 7/8 & geometry ❤️ looking for patterns 👎 lectures and doing all the talking!

A2: Ss need to do the talking so they are doing the learning. All Ss can learn in the right environment w/support

Not sure I this activity right, but it was fun figuring out all the different shapes I could make: how many squares are there?

Q6 Who’s doing the learning w/this activity? What questions could teachers ask?
#akedchat
tara_devaughn
Oct 23 @ 11:40 PM EDT
A5: I see before would be a 2x2 square and next would be 4x4
#akedchat

A6. "turn to your elbow partner and tell them how many squares you can find."

A7 Students are able to share how they think about math rather than focused on one right way with one right answer.
