    A1 Taking the ?s Ss wonder about and giving them tools to use to investigate. Allowing them time to contemplate and investigate #TCMchat
  • kkmccormick174 Feb 8 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1 I agree Beth. Often it starts by just really observing and listening to your students and the questions they ask. #tcmchat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1 Ss are constantly making sense of the world with w/e tools they have including math, how to catch it and to prompt it #tcmchat

    In reply to @HeatherSugrue
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2 Project should not be an application of something learned separately #tcmchat
  • HeatherSugrue Feb 8 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: Enough exposure to a variety of ideas so that students can choose something to explore. #TCMChat
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: Low Floor, High Ceiling. #TCMChat

    You can't get more authentic than that @pearse_margie #TCMchat
    In reply to @pearse_margie
  • BethNctm Feb 8 @ 9:18 PM EST
    video presentations--that is a great idea @HeatherSugrue #TCMchat
    In reply to @HeatherSugrue
  • MathLadyRI Feb 8 @ 9:19 PM EST
    #TCMchat a2 in my own class i loved using data. Ss wonderings created data ?? Or the data led to their investigations.
  • zack_hill Feb 8 @ 9:19 PM EST
    Nice! This line of questioning seems like it would fit so well with the nature of science. #TCMchat
    In reply to @megyzr, @paulandersen
  • HeatherSugrue Feb 8 @ 9:19 PM EST
    Yes - but a few kids spent way more timing on video production that I wanted/expected. Mostly good, though. #TCMchat
    In reply to @BethNctm
  • kellytgill Feb 8 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2 Projects that allow Ss to ?, test out their theories, then results equip to make decisions ex: to buy a gas or hybrid car? #TCMchat
  • megyzr Feb 8 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: across PKG8 projects that keep inquiry/investigation focus, develop mathematical need (pause for mini-lesson) & concept bldg. #tcmchat
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: In a perfect world the "problem" is discovered by the students. #TCMChat

    Q3 What suggestions do you have for ensuring that each content area is adequately addressed? #TCMchat
  • momentum79 Feb 8 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A1: I like to use as much real life as possible like https://t.co/C5QAJ7itir #TCMchat
  • lindseyeperry Feb 8 @ 9:20 PM EST
    So important for us to remain flexible and to embrace rich tasks as they appear. #TCMchat

  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Hard to make sure focus doesn't shift to tech, but so many advantages to video #tcmchat
    In reply to @HeatherSugrue, @kkmccormick174
  • BethNctm Feb 8 @ 9:21 PM EST
    I'm really interested in your thoughts here. It is easy for math (my bias) to get crowded out if we are not mindful #TCMchat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:21 PM EST
    Ss can watch their own work, self-evaluate and improve #tcmchat
    In reply to @HeatherSugrue, @kkmccormick174
  • pearse_margie Feb 8 @ 9:21 PM EST
    #tcmchat A2: Ss love to learn about misleading graphs Helps them become smarter consumers. Had Ss tell me years later that it always stuck
  • BethNctm Feb 8 @ 9:21 PM EST
    Hi Carrie @momentum79 Thank you for joining us #TCMchat
    In reply to @momentum79
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A3: Don't force content connections when they aren't authentic. But when they are there - take full advantage. #TCMChat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A3 We plan with a highlighter and Program of Studies in hand, make maps of learning, look for connections and overlaps #tcmchat
  • JenMarinello Feb 8 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2 -opportunity for Ss to make a new discovery or connection #TCMChat
  • momentum79 Feb 8 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2: Projects that hit multiple skills and draw attention to real-world connections #TCMChat
  • zack_hill Feb 8 @ 9:23 PM EST
    @ZakchamI I was thinking the same thing here. #TCMchat
    In reply to @zakchami
  • JaneMWilburne Feb 8 @ 9:23 PM EST
    Q3 Try to connect a project to science and literature (ELA) and writing. #TCMchat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:23 PM EST
    I think you can map the obvious ones from the start, the rest Ss will pull in themselves. #tcmchat
    In reply to @Zakchamp
  • FloradTeach Feb 8 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3 Need to focus on big ideas or enduring understandings to ensure concepts/skills are uncovered during the tasks #TCMchat
  • rstudnicka77 Feb 8 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A2: Relevency to Ss and instructional goals. For ex tessellation lesson combined w hit show Project Runway fabric challenge! #TCMchat
  • KEMmommy Feb 8 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A3: Balance letting the kids lead but also purposeful planning to meet content expectations. #TCMchat
  • pearse_margie Feb 8 @ 9:24 PM EST
    #tcmchat A3: Think it has to be a natural connection when crossing content.When I have 2 push the connection, it feels fake & the Ss feel it
  • zack_hill Feb 8 @ 9:25 PM EST
    I was thinking the same thing here. Don't want to force it and have it come across that way. #TCMchat
    In reply to @Zakchamp
  • kellytgill Feb 8 @ 9:25 PM EST
    Yes! Graphs and statistics were always one of my faves to teach. Also a great way to include other subjects (A3) #TCMchat
    In reply to @pearse_margie
  • megyzr Feb 8 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A3: (all content) units/lessons begin w "hook" prompt content link, T role to bring lesson connections, debrief, reflect big ideas.#tcmchat
  • MathLadyRI Feb 8 @ 9:25 PM EST
    #TCMchat a3 provide opportunities rich w math. Accept wonderings re all areas butfocus on necessary content, allow followup on others later.
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:25 PM EST
    Yeah - it quickly goes where @BethNctm mentioned. The math can get lost in fake connections. #TCMChat
    In reply to @zack_hill, @BethNctm
  • BethNctm Feb 8 @ 9:25 PM EST
    I'm picking up a theme here: PLAN, PLAN, PLAN #TCMchat
  • kkmccormick174 Feb 8 @ 9:26 PM EST
    Q3 I agree that mapping helps, and so does co-planning or co-teaching by bringing in multiple perspectives on the project. #tcmchat
  • megyzr Feb 8 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3 I also think of PYP units of inquiry - often math needs to be explicitly highlighted/integrated - or it can get lost @BethNctm #tcmchat
    In reply to @BethNctm
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Totally agree. #TCMChat
    In reply to @TAnnalet
  • HeatherSugrue Feb 8 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3: My project rubric has points for how much math is in the project, and if the level of math complexity is grade-appropriate. #TCMchat
  • MathLadyRI Feb 8 @ 9:27 PM EST
    #TCMchat a3 it is about anticipating but also being fkexible to follow the Ss lead
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Yes! Love the "multiple perspectives" idea here. Well said Kelly. #TCMChat

    In reply to @kkmccormick174, @gfletchy
  • dhabecker Feb 8 @ 9:28 PM EST
    True! Our mapped connections matter less than the connections students actually make. #tcmchat
    In reply to @TAnnalet, @Zakchamp
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:29 PM EST
    I often start with math and pull in the rest, this way math won't get lost.=) #tcmchat

    Q4 How do you (or others you know) engage young Ss in PBL? Are there strategies that are helpful for our Pre-K through G2 students? #TCMchat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:31 PM EST
    Yeah it never goes as planned. Fun to see the "planned map" and compare it to where things head afterwards. #tcmchat
    In reply to @dhabecker, @Zakchamp
  • rstudnicka77 Feb 8 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3 Backwards design! #UbD #TCMchat
  • zack_hill Feb 8 @ 9:32 PM EST
    I agree! We want to be well planned, but Ss come up with amazing ideas that we don't anticipate. #TCMchat
    In reply to @dhabecker, @TAnnalet, @Zakchamp
  • pearse_margie Feb 8 @ 9:32 PM EST
    #tcmchat A3: My best "projects" were real life problems hitting us right in the face We had to act. So powerful, but not so Standards based
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:32 PM EST
    But I find when I work with the team it is also exciting to explore our own connections first. #tcmchat
    In reply to @dhabecker, @Zakchamp
  • BethNctm Feb 8 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A4 I like the way that the Skyscraper Project emerged from student play. That tells me the authors were in tune with Ss interests #TCMchat

  • kellytgill Feb 8 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A4 As long as they get their hands-on something to create, deconstruct etc. to explain thinking and test ?s, there are no problems #TCMchat
  • KEMmommy Feb 8 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A2 - PBL is natural for young students. It is more natural than traditional lessons. Connect their interests and wonders. #TCMchat
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:34 PM EST
    Beautifully said Rebecca. #TCMChat
    In reply to @KEMmommy
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A4: Intentional provocation helps focus the inquiry and allows to anticipate students' thinking #tcmchat
    • FloradTeach Feb 8 @ 9:32 PM EST
      A4 create intentional provocations or invitations that highlight math concepts, #TCMchat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:36 PM EST
    A4 Physical objects to prompt explorations. e.g. Turtle shell to start conversation about calendars.Something Ss can see/touch #tcmchat
  • zack_hill Feb 8 @ 9:36 PM EST
    Love the phrase "intentional provocation." #TCMchat
    In reply to @FloradTeach
  • dhabecker Feb 8 @ 9:37 PM EST
    A4: Students stay engaged in PBL when the project is a natural extension of their play. #TCMChat
  • Zakchamp Feb 8 @ 9:38 PM EST
    On point! Love this, #TCMChat
    • dhabecker Feb 8 @ 9:37 PM EST
      A4: Students stay engaged in PBL when the project is a natural extension of their play. #TCMChat
  • JaneMWilburne Feb 8 @ 9:38 PM EST
    Agree Duane, I was just typing "Create PBL as a playtime activity." #TCMchat
  • megyzr Feb 8 @ 9:38 PM EST
    A4: as authors highlighted play-based learning. PK/KG block area is constant state of wonder, math everywhere, Ss choice, voice. #tcmchat
  • JaneMWilburne Feb 8 @ 9:39 PM EST
    Children can think abstractly in play. Vygotsky #TCMchat
  • dhabecker Feb 8 @ 9:39 PM EST
    Yes! I think that is the adult version of what we hope the Ss will do. #tcmchat
    In reply to @TAnnalet, @Zakchamp
  • kkmccormick174 Feb 8 @ 9:40 PM EST
    I agree. Listen & observe young children play, choose a project based on their interests, and present a hook into it. #TCMchat

  • TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:40 PM EST
    Q5 When your Ss have “choice,” what information do you gain about them by the choices they make (or don’t make)? #TCMchat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:40 PM EST
    So true, I noticed they would come to school and go straight to work on their project if they are really into it. #tcmchat
    In reply to @dhabecker
  • MathLadyRI Feb 8 @ 9:40 PM EST
    #TCMchat we need to take advantage of their natural curiosity and desire to solve the problems ariund them (real life, not book probs)
  • momentum79 Feb 8 @ 9:41 PM EST
    Just wondering - where does one find time for play when trying to meet the demands of my district & state? Or am I alone? #TCMchat
  • BethNctm Feb 8 @ 9:42 PM EST
    The fact that the ss continued with the project was amazing, PK typically have short attention spans. No doubt they were engaged, #TCMchat

    A5 The level of risk they are willing to take #TCMchat
  • TAnnalet Feb 8 @ 9:43 PM EST
    I find a well designed project can cover a lot of curriculum, and I have numeracy/number talks daily regardless #tcmchat
    In reply to @momentum79
  • megyzr Feb 8 @ 9:43 PM EST
    A5 may not look like math choice, further questions may elicit math-mindedness, STEM connections (T sees, Ss may not see) #tcmchat
  • pearse_margie Feb 8 @ 9:44 PM EST
    #tcmchat A5: I can tell a lot about Ss by the choices they make: interests? friends? work ethic? confidence? comfort level? drive?
  • mathforsuccess Feb 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

  • rstudnicka77 Feb 8 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A5 You learn about Ss interests, task management skills, problem solving techniques, and grit! #geniushour #passionprojects #TCMchat
  • BethNctm Feb 8 @ 9:44 PM EST
    No, you are not alone. I think this is where the pre-planning really comes in--that is where we can document curriculum connections #TCMchat

  • dhabecker Feb 8 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A lot of play can easily be connected to math standards: clock, 3D shapes, counting, comparing, sorting, etc. #tcmchat
