@mathconfidence #SWDMathChat tho my kids math teachers didn't want involvement from family. Especially in older grades.

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys How do you know they did it if you don't grade or collect any?@coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@tperran that is wonderful - is that your class or is it school or district wide? #swdmathchat

dr_costello Jun 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@mathconfidence instead of traditional parent-teacher interviews, students lead the conversation using their work as the focus #SWDMathChat

PaulaKrieg Jun 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@bkdidact @weebly #SwDMathChat my kids had everything available on-line, tho for part of their student yrs we had only dial=up internet. Bad

@di_chamberlain @coachcollins951 Because all work is done in class, I walk around, give feedback, talk with kids everyday. #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain @kirk_humphreys @coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat s's often copy hw from each other or one posts to FB

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys I want to do flipped classroom so badly. I’ve tried it many times but they just won’t watch the videos at home #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@bkdidact @tperran @anndurham13 @SOC54 tx Andrew!! #swdmathchat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@anyaostapczuk @kirk_humphreys The “in-class” flip or stations works for us when students won’t watch videos at home. #SwDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @di_chamberlain @coachcollins951 This is why I no longer assign homework. Or they do it right before class #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@dr_costello #SWDMathChat instead of the regular PT conference?

tperran Jun 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Me too! We like to post them on the schools Twitter feed for others to see. #SWDMathChat https://t.co/gKl9Eukyfz

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @di_chamberlain @coachcollins951 The work done in my class is one in which cannot be copied. #SWDMathChat

dr_costello Jun 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@mathconfidence yes. Can be more frequent that traditional PT conference too #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@bkdidact @kirk_humphreys I make my own using @explainevrythng for review or reinforce which they watch. Mine are always short #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q4 coming up #SWDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @weebly ePortfolios are so students can reflect on work as well as keep work for years after. #SwDMathChat

CherylEmrich Jun 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Portfolios have been very powerful in our kindergarten program https://t.co/D2ghTJepYK #SWDmathchat

MrsNewellsMath Jun 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: Yes, homework and notes are posted online daily... Grades are available online for Ss and parents once I put any grade in #SWDMathChat

dr_costello Jun 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@anyaostapczuk @bkdidact @kirk_humphreys @explainevrythng this is a great idea - thanks 4 sharing #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@bkdidact @weebly is a possible to post part of an example Andrew? #SWDMathChat

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys Can you elaborate? And what do you do if Ss don't work in class? Teach MS. @mathconfidence @coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys @bkdidact @explainevrythng Same reasons for not doing homework, no time, forgot, etc. #SWDMathChat

tperran Jun 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@anyaostapczuk Some of our teachers had that problem too. I often had Ss do it in Resource class but they copied mindlessly. #SWDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @weebly I can try to work it into a post soon. That’s a great idea. #SwDMathChat

SOC54 Jun 23 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Grades are posted and available for parent review online. I don't grade home"learn" and try not to give home"work". #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@tperran That’s exactly what they do for me too. They find the one kid that cared and copied #SWDMathChat

dr_costello Jun 23 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@aboone_angie @tperran I started using Twitter this year - great for professional learning and networking #following #swdmathchat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@bkdidact @weebly thx Andrew -- it will be so helpful to have a visual #swdmathchat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain @mathconfidence @coachcollins951 Keep on them to work I'm quite lucky I don't have an issue with Ss not working #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@ScaffoldedMath I make all of mine on my iPad #SWDMathChat So yes you need a microphone.

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@anyaostapczuk @tperran yes flipped classroom can work if s's watch videos and remember them too #swdmathchat

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys Yes, to a point. Some Ss "own pace" would take a wk to do 1 assignment. Can't hold others up. @coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat

tperran Jun 23 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@dr_costello @aboone_angie Twitter has been the best PD I have ever participated in. Connections are invaluable! #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @tperran love the idea of it & concept but I can’t go home with each one of them :( I’ve called parents too! #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@MrsNewellsMath @kirk_humphreys I need to look into Periscope. #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain @coachcollins951 If it takes that long though I'd say it needs to be modified. #SWDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@aboone_angie I think understanding that the tech should facilitate learning not replace it, it important. #SwDMathChat

tperran Jun 23 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@aboone_angie I'd really like to get my kids to engage with some other classrooms. Very time-consuming to set up, however. #SWDMathChat

aboone_angie Jun 23 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys Agree-I give assignments w/time to complete in class. Only have hw if they choose. @PaulaKrieg @coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@bkdidact @aboone_angie Or reinforce, but never replace or do our jobs. #SWDMathChat

@bkdidact @dr_costello @aboone_angie plus I have people to visit when I go to the big city! 😉 #SWDMathChat

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys No, they are perfectly capable. Only give 3-8 problems. @coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4:I involve families by asking Ss to explain concepts to their parents.The parents must write a summary in how their child did #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@bkdidact #SWDMathChat how do s's like it? parents?

Teach4SpclNeeds Jun 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4: I think student success is driven by face-to-face interactions paired with personalized learning in a variety of forms #SWDMathChat

ScaffoldedMath Jun 23 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@tperran I'd love to do this too! What grades do you teach? #SWDMathChat

Not sure, some type of activity that would demonstrate divergent problem-solving strategies #SWDMathChat https://t.co/okYwseaXi7

@tperran @aboone_angie what kind of interaction do you have in mind? #swdmathchat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys wow!! can you share an example? #swdmathchat thx a ton

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@mathconfidence Students work with it, I think they’re ambivalent. Parents haven’t been forthcoming about their feelings. #SwDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain @coachcollins951 I'd still let them take the time they need.I had 1 S who took 3 times as long as everyone else #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: I don’t give much HW, But make parents aware of assignments/projects/tests helps 90% of my Ss be more successful #SWDMathChat

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys So then the work just piles on them as you move forward? @coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@bkdidact #swdmathchat as a parent of an IEP student, I would love this

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@PaulaKrieg Sometimes. @kirk_humphreys @coachcollins951 #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@mathconfidence Yes. I've attached my email to parents and a parent response for an 8th grader. #SWDMathChat https://t.co/4oY2cGvcWt

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@mathconfidence It makes P/T conferences more about students and less about products, b/c they can be reviewed later. #SwDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: I know what Ss will do the work, which ones need reminders and which ones won’t. I call or email for last 2 #SWDMathChat

SOC54 Jun 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@jreulbach Looks like a gr8 resource. Last 2 yrs I have used folded card stock like a 4 sided foldable. Colored coded & filed. #SWDMathChat

@kirk_humphreys #swdmathchat what a great idea! involving families in Math :)

PaulaKrieg Jun 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#SwDMathChat Do you know if parents want to be involved? is there a grade where parent involvement should end?

ScaffoldedMath Jun 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@tperran what grade? Math? I teach 11+12 Alg2 and Consumer Math. I'd love to skype another class. #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@Teach4SpclNeeds @bkdidact what grade level(s)? #swdmathchat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain A combination of both. We are SBG but students still see a level of proficiency and grade on their report cards #SWDMathChat

ScaffoldedMath Jun 23 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@PaulaKrieg my most involved parent's son just graduated. I think some parents stay throughout. #SwDMathChat

@kirk_humphreys What grade do you teach? #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain But I did not give out a single letter grade all year on any assessment I gave. Only levels of proficiency. #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain 6-8th grade math. #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@anyaostapczuk @PaulaKrieg yes and it can make the difference between grad HS or not #swdmathchat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys @di_chamberlain I do SBG in my room but translate it into a % and Letter grade for report cards #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys @di_chamberlain What levels of proficiency do u use? #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @PaulaKrieg YES it really can. It’s sad when u call home & the parents tell you they don’t care #SWDMathChat bc they are HS

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys We give grades (actually required to give 2/wk). District is transitioning 1 yr at time to SBG. Up to 5th now. #SWDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@ScaffoldedMath @tperran Age grades are 9-12. Cognitive levels are K-8. #SwDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @di_chamberlain District - 4(exceeding), 3(meeting), 2(working towards), 1(not meeting) #SWDMathChat

@MrsNewellsMath I am the sped department at our middle school, also doing high school sped math next year #SWDMathChat

PaulaKrieg Jun 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@mathconfidence @anyaostapczuk #SwDMathChat ...geez, anytime I showed interest, my kids Ts in HS treated me like a helicopter parent.

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@aboone_angie I’ve had parents tell me they watch my videos so they can help their Ss. But this is very rare! #SWDMathChat

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@anyaostapczuk Doesn't that defeat the purpose of SBG? @kirk_humphreys #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain How is the transitioning going to SBG? #SWDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@aboone_angie That’s a lot of work! Inclusion? #SwDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

#swdmathchat thx for all the great input on family engagement get ready for new topic Q6 about grade level content

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain @anyaostapczuk My guess is that the grades are district mandated?? #SWDMathChat

Teach4SpclNeeds Jun 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: There are so many math opportunities families can do, reflect & discuss: mini golfing, shopping, cooking, building, coding, #SwDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain @kirk_humphreys Yes I my mind but it’s what I have to do. it’s change the Ss mindset though. #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@PaulaKrieg @anyaostapczuk I am so lucky my son's teachers are kool with all my emails etc #swdmathchat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys @di_chamberlain YES, unfortunately. #SWDMathChat

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys Seems to be going well. We were asked if SBG should stop at 6-7-8th grades. Why? If it works, why switch back? #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@di_chamberlain And since kids would already be transitioned over, it would be natural to keep the transition going. #SWDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@ScaffoldedMath @tperran We don’t label them that way, but most are “severely” effected by their disabilities in class & life #SwDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:43 PM EDT

#swdmathchat thx for all gr8 tweets onto q's abt grade level content Here is Q6 https://t.co/VQ7PrxBwc0

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@aboone_angie @MrsNewellsMath Katrina I made copies of your Solving Equations Foldable today! You made one just like I wanted #SWDMathChat

di_chamberlain Jun 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys That's what I think. Spent 6 yrs getting them to understand, they've never had letter grade, why give one now? #SWDMathChat

MrsNewellsMath Jun 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@anyaostapczuk @aboone_angie that's awesome! I love when I can help out other T's. Are you using this in resource class? #SWDMathChat

SOC54 Jun 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Doing planning to run a year round classroom financial literacy next year sim2 Rafe Esquith in TLYHOF. #SWDMathChat https://t.co/Qfsm3blXpa

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@ScaffoldedMath @tperran We do financial literacy every spring! What are your go-to resources? #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: No. They get cog level content, which they have def seen before. Why we integrate things like 3-acts & #noticewonder #SwDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@PaulaKrieg @kirk_humphreys @anyaostapczuk sry to hear that Paula s's need help & benefit from parent eng #swdmathchat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@MrsNewellsMath I had one from before but wanted to make one like yours, printing yours was easier..lol #SWDMathChat Regular and Sped Alg 1

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@SOC54 What are the foundational resources for your planning? #SwDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@bkdidact do yr s's take Regents? #swdmathchat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@mathconfidence no #SwDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6: As much as I can give them, do pre skill mini lessons for what they need before Alg/Geo content is taught #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6: 1-2+ grade levels ahead of their grade level. #SWDMathChat

aboone_angie Jun 23 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6: depends on students' needs #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys great to hear that thx! #swdmathchat

ScaffoldedMath Jun 23 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@mathconfidence I reteach a TON of Algebra in Algebra 2. It's as if they have never seen it. Curric moves TOO fast imo. #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Get ready for Q7 it has Math content in it :) #SWDMathChat

mathconfidence Jun 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Q7 #swdmathchat pls comment on this question (wish I had thought of an elem task too) https://t.co/XBOsix7LES

MrsNewellsMath Jun 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@ScaffoldedMath @mathconfidence I agree... I reteach a lot of algebra concepts in geometry but I do teach grade level content #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Q7: 6th or 7th Grade…Finding the trends in the x and y columns. #SWDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Jun 23 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: 8th or 9th, Algebra 1 #SwDMathChat https://t.co/uTS5CDemkM

A7: Grade 8 #SWDMathChat

anyaostapczuk Jun 23 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Q7: Yes It’s 8th grade, not 6th or 7th. #SWDMathChat

kirk_humphreys Jun 23 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7: 8.F. standards when function notation is introduced. I would give to Ss with no introduction and ask them observations. #SWDMathChat
