Jeremy in CT here. Don't teach; work in education and a parent of a 3rd grader getting math intervention. So wanted to peek in. #SwDMathChat

Q1 for #SwDMathChat:

JeremyDBond Nov 9 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1) Offering students unlimited ways to learn and to demonstrate that learning. #SwDMathChat

Hi, Lane HS math STL USA #swdmathchat

anndurham13 Nov 9 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 At the core- meeting students at their level and providing pathways for learning #SwDMathChat

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:11 PM EST

"unlimited" -- I like that. Ambitious! #SwDMathChat

a1 video, text, coaching low floor-high ceiling, team collaboration, sitting here waiting for Ss to send me a pic on something they're stuck on...and when all else fails, push! #swdmathchat

JeremyDBond Nov 9 @ 9:13 PM EST

This is where I point out again that I'm not a teacher. ;) I'm asking for the world, I know. But we can start the convo there! #SwDMathChat

Designing learning experiences that leverage student strengths and take into consideration student needs. #SwDMathChat

Q2 for #SwDMathChat:

anndurham13 Nov 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2 Lots of formative assessment to see current S understanding and misconceptions. Then constant adjustment to address needs #SwDMathChat

JeremyDBond Nov 9 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2) The differentiation is in the path, the means to learning. Interventions are means to the end. The ends are the same. #SwDMathChat

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:16 PM EST

Q2 for #SwDMathChat:

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

What are some strategies you use for formative assessment? #SwDMathChat?

In reply to @anndurham13

bkdidact - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: Differentiation should be a tool to reach high expectations, not a support for lowered expectations. #SwDMathChat

Q3 for #SwDMathChat:

anndurham13 Nov 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

My favorite is simply getting Ss working on whiteboards to get a quick snapshot of their approach to various problems. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @math8_teacher

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: One strategy I try to use is to pre-teach content for the next day or week. If I can support students with disabilities by making sure they have the prior knowledge they need and setting them up to feel successful in class, it makes a huge difference. #SwDMathChat

anndurham13 Nov 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

Q3 Stations focused on different concepts that allow Ss to rotate based on their areas for development. Helps me target support #SwDMathChat

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:31 PM EST

Q4 for #SwDMathChat:

MsCastillosMath Nov 9 @ 9:31 PM EST

A2: with a workshop model. Grade Level mini-lesson and differentiated groups. #swdmathchat

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:16 PM EST

Q2 for #SwDMathChat:

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:34 PM EST

can you say more about a workshop model? I'm not sure I understand what that means. #SwDMathChat

In reply to @MsCastillosMath

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:40 PM EST

Q5 for #SwDMathChat:

MsCastillosMath Nov 9 @ 9:41 PM EST

10-15 min mini-lesson then stations and small group with teacher in 3-4 rotations for differentiation. 5 min closure and share time. Guided math. #swdmathchat

A5 I value student choice as an opportunity for buy-in and engagement. I may provide several choices that meet the same goal #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:43 PM EST

A5: Choice Day includes computer station (dream box, ken ken, solve puzzles), math games, and (less voluntary) catch-up work station. #SwDMathChat

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:40 PM EST

Q5 for #SwDMathChat:

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:44 PM EST

I think making sure they meet the same goal is so important! and hard to do #SwDMathChat

In reply to @anndurham13

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:45 PM EST

A5: I am always nervous giving choice because I worry it will lower expectations, but I also see the difference it can make in engagement! Something to work on. #SwDMathChat

anndurham13 Nov 9 @ 9:48 PM EST

Establishing a class culture of high expectations from the beginning helps with this (but doesn't mean it's easy!) #SwDMathChat

Q6, and final question, for #SwDMathChat tonight!

math8_teacher Nov 9 @ 9:50 PM EST

A6: I want to work on better strategies and scaffolds for supporting SwD in using mathematical language. I'm not sure exactly what it should look like, but I know I can get a lot better at it. #SwDMathChat

anndurham13 Nov 9 @ 9:51 PM EST

A6 Incorporating more low floor/high ceiling tasks to challenge all students at their level #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:53 PM EST

A6: Im just gonna steal Ann’s! #SwDMathChat

JeremyDBond Nov 9 @ 9:55 PM EST

Curious if you would or have used these strategies as interventions for any kid who might benefit from them, not just for SWDs. #SwDMathChat

anndurham13 Nov 9 @ 9:56 PM EST

Yes! Strategies for SwDs benefit all learners! Also creates a culture of inclusion when students access the same strategies #SwDMathChat
