MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@Zakchamp What framework do you use Zak? #TCMchat

drkchilds Oct 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 understanding the progressions Doc is key esp as it relates to 'building' upon prior know opposed to treating Ss as blank slates #TCMchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@Zakchamp Is it a "share-able" framework, or something you are making up as you go? #TCMchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: regular GL mtgs; begin w learning targets (stdrd-based system), discuss "how" and "why" of concepts identified by me or team #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@Zakchamp Curious about this. Can you share more? #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@AnnEliseRecord That is great Ann, how do you structure the meetings? #TCMchat

FloradTeach Oct 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

How does that work? Time and people resources are scarce. #TCMchat https://t.co/X9Iaj1eT8G

zack_hill Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@MathMinds @jody_guarino Agreed! #TCMchat

MandyPolen Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Just beginning to get teachers to dive into the progressions documents and do the math themselves. So powerful!! #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

So much easier on a computer than my phone. That was hard. #tcmchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@pearse_margie The common problem piece is so important. Gives a common place from which we all can speak from. #TCMChat

BethNctm Oct 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Rhombi_Doc Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MutchmorMath Thanks! Great resource! #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: The project in the article was such a unique collaboration using @TeachingChannel Teams! Amazing platform! and GHO of course #TCMchat

MeganMSnow Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1 I find that talking about likely trouble spots, errors, and misconceptions can help clarify too. #tcmchat

msaxby Oct 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 Our fifth grade team does all of our planning via shared Google documents - works great in person as a team or individually #tcmchat

MandyPolen Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2- used google hangout with @jody_guarino and it worked great. Considering using it more with ts from different buildings. #TCMchat

kncaton Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@MandyPolen It's important to do the math. Keeping in mind where we need to slow down #TCMchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: our planning-for-learning is a living doc in Atlas, UbD template, w ability to link GoogleDocs, etc. Ts share, add-to, reflect #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 Sad you'll miss out this year! We've got @Trianglemancsd as our opener and an ignite event at the closing of #FCTM16 #TCMChat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@MeganMSnow Right, I always like to start with "What does the student know?" so we can build on that. #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 Our 5th grade team saves all work on share drive. That's as tech as we get for collaborating. #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 using Twitter to showcase S learning is a great way to help teachers be mindful of their practice and engage with others #TCMchat

pearse_margie Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#TCMChat A2: Google Docs

drkchilds Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Q2: we use an adaptation of 'Thinking Through a Lesson Protocol Planning' it really allows us to create an effective lesson plan #TCMchat

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: I'd love to do more virtual collaborating with individuals outside my district to see what is happening elsewhere. #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

In the past I have hosted webinars using https://t.co/BJGpUXCe3q #TCMchat

MrJ_2014 Oct 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: We are not collaborating virtually, but I can see it having an awesome impact! Having that collaboration can really impact learning!

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 Joining late. Like using some tools already mentioned. Also: NZ Strategy Framework (and Knowledge Framework). #TCMchat

msaxby Oct 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 One of the best parts of this project was being able to work collaboratively with people very far away #tcmchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MikeRashidMath I'd love a virtual peek into other classrooms to see what others are doing. #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MikeRashidMath Definitely has made a huge difference in my own learning! #TCMchat

kncaton Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 We share everything on Google Drive. Most meetings are digital #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 - I'm a big fan of Zoom. Thanks to @MikeFlynn55 for sharing that tool with us at #mtholyokemath #TCMChat

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1 I think the lack of structure is an opportunity for growth at my school. Most of this work is done through LASW. Could isomer. #TCMchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2-2: as international school we all use GHO, Skype, Google Drive to collaborate beyond our walls too... #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MutchmorMath I've learned so much from being on twitter. Love seeing all the student work and learning happening. #TCMchat

zack_hill Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@drkchilds That sounds great. Where can I find that protocol? #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MeganMSnow #TCMchat looking at misconceptions is very powerful. Sometimes Ts have misconceptions too!

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@MathMinds Let me know if you ever need another person. #TCMchat

FloradTeach Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Stepping out, have a great week everyone #TCMchat will be checking the chat over the next few days

MeganMSnow Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

I live in a rural area. We've collaborated on Google Hangouts, and used Drive a lot. And we're starting a Twitter Chat in Nov.! #tcmchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@drkchilds Glad you and your insight are joining us tonight! #TCMChat

drkchilds Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@zoom_us is AWESOME #Tcmchat https://t.co/VDqKdqw1Lq

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 - I'm a big fan of Zoom. Thanks to @MikeFlynn55 for sharing that tool with us at #mtholyokemath #TCMChat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@MathMinds @MeganMSnow point of strength...every S has one! #TCMchat

msaxby Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 Collaborating with people all over the country was/is a great promise of CCSS - we still haven't fully realized its potential. #tcmchat

MathMileMarkers Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Visual models that span grade levels &connect standards year to year are key! Commonality of instruction! #TCMchat https://t.co/mg2pcGDUyM

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:05 PM EDT

Q1 How do you & your team unpack important mathematical ideas & concepts? What structures do you have in place to d… https://t.co/YPINpPQROM

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: Some teams use google docs and sheets. Very patchwork. Any suggestions on how to get technophobes to engage virtually? #TCMchat

MeganMSnow Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@MutchmorMath Yes definitely! And it's often easier to address these through a lens of "student misconceptions". #tcmchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@drkchilds @zoom_us Totally agree. Combines lots of the best parts of other virtual platforms into one. #TCMChat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@MutchmorMath @MeganMSnow Yes, we, as Ts, tend to look first for what they don't understand, but what they do know is SO imp! #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@jennalaib #TCMchat ❤️ how NZ has creates brilliant resources for their teachers...great tutorials as well

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2. Google hangouts and drive is a favorite for me! #TCMchat

BethNctm Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

That is a great point @MutchmorMath Ts have misconceptions too and need to get comfortable talking and supporting each other #TCMchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@msaxby throw me in there too - this is absolutely how I stay connected from Int'l school twitter, blogs, websites 🌍 #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Focus on what they do know and make decisions based on that. Sound advice here from Kristin! #TCMChat https://t.co/XfPDKNPBZK

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@MutchmorMath @MeganMSnow Yes, we, as Ts, tend to look first for what they don't understand, but what they do know is SO imp! #TCMchat

MeganMSnow Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@MathMinds @MutchmorMath Absolutely! But thinking about what the tricky concepts are going to be can help our Ss avoid them! #tcmchat

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@MeganMSnow @MutchmorMath Identifying those misconceptions prior to the lesson allows for some purposeful planning. Very valuable! #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@MrSmiths_Eagles @MutchmorMath @MeganMSnow @JSchwartz10a Yes, Joe has some wise words in that post! #TCMchat

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q3 The authors pose a framework for one way to do this kind of work. How do you react to this model? #TCMchat https://t.co/caRS5DKMwB

ms_dennis45 Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2: our district has placed most resources on OneDrive #TCMChat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2: We just started using zoom, but have also used Google Hangouts and many many Google docs. And Twitter. Duh. #TCMchat

poly_math_ Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@MikeRashidMath Collaborating with Ts from other districts has been very helpful for Ts in my district. #TCMchat

tmchiepp Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@MathMinds love using Number Talks as the lesson's launch #TCMChat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@MeganMSnow @MathMinds @MutchmorMath Anticipating tricky concepts can be helpful in having questions prepared and ideas to push on. #TCMChat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q3: here is the article if you need it: https://t.co/CMsy4pVUgG #TCMchat

kncaton Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Can work. Flexibility is key #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@BethNctm #TCMchat solving rich problems collaboratively as Ts, anticipating S responses, helps us focus on WHAT IS TO BE LEARNED😃

zack_hill Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Don't think I saw the words "lesson study" in the article, but that's what I kept thinking of as I read it. #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Is this image any easier to see for Q3? #TCMChat https://t.co/ZtiwF2IlDg

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@Doctor_Math you should try this out! It is awesome! #tcmchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: It's so critical to teach and REFLECT and refine. How do we help more Ts understand importance so they find time? #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: My favorite part of that diagram was the revising and reteaching. Never had that chance with the same lesson! #TCMchat

ShelbiCole1 Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 the promise of OER resources and virtual collaboration to revise = bright future #TCMchat

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I love the idea of meeting in sunny California! 😎 #TCMChat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@Zakchamp Yep! #TCMchat

drkchilds Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Q3: the key to the model is implementation; however the question is how is the implementation 'effectively' assessed #TCMChat

kncaton Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 Can work. Flexibility is key #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 - I think it would be very useful, I know I personally don't always have that much time to spend on every lesson #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@MathMinds Good deal! #TCMChat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@zack_hill #TCMchat ditto...I was thinking just that!

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@zack_hill Right, def was a lesson study! I think we said it a million times but never explicitly put it in the article! #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

And oftentimes, the reflection piece gets left out, even though it can be the most beneficial #TCMchat

msaxby Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@MrSmiths_Eagles I understand this! I wish we could do more school-based meetings along these kinds of lines #tcmchat

ms_dennis45 Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

I really liked the filming of the lesson and debrief. Video is a great tool for reflection #tcmchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@zack_hill I saw it in the URL of @MathMinds's blog post! #TCMchat

tmchiepp Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: I love the idea of meeting in sunny California! 😎#TCMChat

drkchilds Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: the key component is implementation; however the question is "How is the implementation 'effectively' assessed?" #TCMChat

Rhombi_Doc Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q3: Will be facilitating a PD day on 10/24 and plan to use an adapted version of it. #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3 - The best part is that you all shared the outcomes with us! That's my favorite part of the diagram. :) #TCMChat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@goddard_dorothy @KristinGrey18 #TCMchat thx Dorothy! Just passing along the good work out there & the passion!

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@msaxby And there's even more of a time crunch when you teach six different subjects at elem level #TCMchat

goddard_dorothy Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

I have done this before and allows for great reflection #TCMchat https://t.co/NkEZycFzEj

I really liked the filming of the lesson and debrief. Video is a great tool for reflection #tcmchat

zack_hill Oct 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@MathMinds Nice, that makes sense. Love how the framework allowed for multiple revisions and implementations. #TCMchat

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: I love the idea! Puts the emphasis on T and S learning and thinking, rather than lesson as a consumable good. (phrasing?) #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@MFAnnie I agree! The power in getting to refine. As @MathMinds said at one point, getting to see the lesson before you teach it! #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Elementary teacher problems. The struggle is real. #TCMChat https://t.co/6iKsTidOt7

zack_hill Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@MFAnnie @MathMinds Nice! I knew it had to be somewhere. #TCMchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: lesson design relies on task choice/design, important! On-going research cycle & reflection, refinement key. Ts sharing process #TCMchat

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@MrSmiths_Eagles I agree that there would be logistical struggles. I don't think the goal is to do this with every lesson, though. #TCMchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@jody_guarino @MathMinds It's a version of using an activity that someone blogged about - see successes, failures, reflections. #TCMchat

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@MrSmiths_Eagles Isn't the hope that the kind of thinking done as a team would transfer to individual T planning? #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@lockhartedu Welcome Bethany! #TCMchat

MandyPolen Oct 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3- I wonder how it would work to do all in one day. T1 in morning, reflect, revise, T2 teach in afternoon, more reflection..? #TCMchat

ingrid_beaty Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

#TCMchat I'm Ingrid a 5th grade teach in OC. Sorry to join late.

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@MandyPolen Good question Mandy! Anyone have experience with this? Certainly there are some lesson study models that do this #TCMChat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@zack_hill #TCMchat wouldn't we all at some point in our career wish for a lesson #" do-over"! Now we can with each other 4 support

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@Zakchamp Could be helpful to select a content area to hone in on each year. Maybe try some of these ideas just in one area? #TCMchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@MrSmiths_Eagles true also in teaching & learning time w Ss (not just as Ts reflecting in lesson study)... reflection essential #TCMchat

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@MandyPolen I thought the same thing when I read the article. #TCMchat

mrsperryd Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3 It reminds me of the structure we used for a lesson study I participated in with teachers from across our district via Polycom. #TCMchat

goddard_dorothy Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

I often get to do this with my position and it is wonderful! #TCMchat https://t.co/0SA3aBztGT

@MandyPolen I've been able to do versions of that when working with one T all day. Reflect and refine throughout day. Love it. #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@MandyPolen Im trying that tomorrow w/2 2nd gr Ts. but its just me in both lessons bc coverage is hard to get Ts in one anothers rm #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@MandyPolen So much potential here! Maybe a possibility for co-teaching too. #TCMchat

ms_dennis45 Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@goddard_dorothy There are some awesome videos on @TeachingChannel using video as reflection #TCMchat

msaxby Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@MathMinds @MandyPolen Kristin - hard because of coverage needs, or hard because of T reluctance? #tcmchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Joining another T in their class (when you have a prep) great opportunity to refine practice #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@msaxby @MandyPolen Coverage needs in this situation but each group has diff challenges. #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@ingrid_beaty Hi Ingrid, glad you could join! #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@Zakchamp @MandyPolen yes, in MS - by sched design can be managed. In ES we've done as learning walk in am, go back and try in pm #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4 It's a great opportunity to grow when you get to see things from a different perspective #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@MandyPolen Maybe a space for some Ohio - California collaboration via Google Hangout? #TCMchat

ingrid_beaty Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

#TCMchat @Zakchamp @MandyPolen I've seen it done in one class in am, Ts debrief & refine, then repeat in another class that is same gl.

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger Nice that everyone thinks there is something to figure out! #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4 planning with others always a good idea...help see things we may not. 👍together we are brilliant #TCMchat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4 Diff Ts have diff strengths. I have done things already this year never would have thought of. #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 @goddard_dorothy @TeachingChannel Yes! Here was our project! #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4 - Benefit: Collaboration is key to prof. growth. Challenge: Finding willing teachers. (But this is why we are all here right?) #TCMChat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@MFAnnie Sometimes just a few days before we're in front of the Ss! #tcmchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: chlng can almost be "too" much discussion impedes shared learning and action - use tight structures/SRI protocols to guide talk #TCMchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger Hey, that's a couple of days ahead of a lot of people! #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A3: Collaboration has to be meaningful and supported by leadership like principals, curriculum directors, etc #tcmchat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4 Some Ts can feel overwhelmed if too many new ideas/concepts at once. #TCMchat

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

zack_hill Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4 Challenging to carve out time, but shouldn't let that stop us. The collaboration allows us to really hone our craft. #TCMchat

MandyPolen Oct 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4 -Fortunate in my position to be able to get subs for ts or I can cover classes so they can watch each other.#TCMchat

ShelbiCole1 Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4 challenge when planning timelines w Ts in same school, just imagine matching up timeline w class on other side of the country #TCMchat

BethNctm Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Are school schedules allowing more time for T collaboration or are Ts just finding a way to make time for collaboration? #TCMchat

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: So many pros! One challenge I have faced was co-planning too far in advance. (Even a week or two.) Ts really want the next day. #TCMchat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@BethNctm We use our own time-lunch, before school, after school. #tcmchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4-1: bonuses = shared learning process, many minds, open doors/no secrets classrooms, reflection (no mountaintop in teaching!) #TCMchat

msaxby Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@Zakchamp I'd love to amend challenge to something like "finding structures so this kind of work is easier during the school day" #tcmchat

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: That said, we have not done as much reflection. Would love to try out lesson study! Wonder what it would take to get us there? #TCMchat

ms_dennis45 Oct 12 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: Help Ts teach to the depth of the std but Difficult to find enough time #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@jennalaib I've found that I can do general planning weeks ahead, but things usually need to be adjusted day to day. #TCMchat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@MrSmiths_Eagles @jennalaib Exactly. My Friday never looks like I thought it would on Sunday. :) #tcmchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4: Timing is always the biggest challenge!It is hard mid-day to get ur head in a prof learning space bc Ss take so much brainpower #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger @MFAnnie Maybe collaboration could come after a lesson. Start with a common task and collaborate around next steps.#TCMchat

tmchiepp Oct 12 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A4 and it can be both a benefit and challenge #TCMchat https://t.co/k5p1DqJVxX

Rhombi_Doc Oct 12 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@BethNctm districts where I facilitate PD - school schedules are allowing time for PLCs to meet more regularly than in the past #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@aprilpfortsiowa #TCMchat sometimes we have to lead them to supporting us...can't wait! Learning of S comes 1st. Support will follow

ingrid_beaty Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@BethNctm #TCMchat both. We have time during school hrs but still find the need to create addition time. Not an easy task but worth it.

drkchilds Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: I would challenge everyone to connect the task to std(s) and which mathematical practices would Ss engage in #tcmchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@BethNctm In my experience both! Ts that see the value make it happen. #TCMchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@MathMinds How to encourage mini reflections? Post-its in book? Notes on clipboard? Always looking to help Ts do ANY reflect. #TCMchat

poly_math_ Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@BethNctm In my district Ts have to find time. Often, I creatively "create" time for them. #TCMchat

ms_dennis45 Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@BethNctm Depends on the school. My last school paid for subs...current school says no money in the budget #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

This was like the lesson I did in a reaserch project for LS but it was birthday cake # we use a hexagon for our whole #tcmchat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MFAnnie @MathMinds We depend on lunch to share good and bad, since we try to stay within day or 2 of each other. #tcmchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@jennalaib #TCMchat attended a great lesson study conference in Chicago...I think they have one very year...powerful learning!

msaxby Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@jody_guarino @BethNctm And then it gets easier to do again, once the value is clear. #tcmchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MFAnnie This is something I am trying to figure out! I tried GDoc for reflection but it was just one more place to go. #TCMchat

A5B Draw pictures of the brownies and make the lines. #tcmchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@MathMinds Right. Gotta be seamless. In one situation, Ts tended to carry T Guide, so we went with post-its. But how to look back? #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@MFAnnie The best I have gotten so far is just chatting as Ss work and talk quickly as we go. I jot notes to talk to them about #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6 - The language of multiplication. If students understand that w/ whole numbers it makes mult fractions much simpler #TCMchat

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@ShelbiCole1 Can't wait to see more of this! #TCMchat

@MFAnnie @MathMinds Of course, I just changed grade levels, so I'm starting over again. :) #tcmchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Rhombi_Doc Oct 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6: the referents of 1/4 and 1/3 #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6: Have them use the bar model instead of the rectangle. That only works for even numbers #tcmchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6 - I'm not sure its a "concept," but using a model here is tough work. And also, the referent unit #TCMChat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@TCM_at_NCTM #TCMchat one big conceptual misconception is that when you (X). You get more...doesn't work with fractions not repeated (+)

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@MathMinds @MFAnnie I learn so much from your blog and love to go back when I'm looking for specific things! #TCMchat

megyzr Oct 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: Ss can access it w variety of entry points to begin thinking, model it, redo (like me!) to add to / change thinking. #TCMchat

MFAnnie Oct 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: General idea of fractions - what's 1/4 mean? 1/3? That "whole" can be flexible/matters. #TCMchat

KristinGrey18 Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A5: Ss are going to think there are 2 people. Reading 2 fast! 1st buys 1/4,2nd buys 1/3 of what's left. Teaching to reread problem #TCMchat

MikeRashidMath Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@aprilpfortsiowa The rule of multiplication always providing a "bigger" answer expires quickly here! #TCMchat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Will they make the connection to multiplying? Will they understand that is what they are doing? #tcmchat

jennalaib Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@Zakchamp Reminds me of @mburnsmath 's intro to mult fractions lesson https://t.co/lpplSZWXAx ; Mult can be shown as an area model #TCMchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

I was thinking that may be the case! #TCMChat https://t.co/DnFGI4l0a6

@jody_guarino @MFAnnie Thanks Jody! To me it just feels like a rambling mess:) heehee! #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: Singapore math works great here. Also have them define the whole instead of disecting it. Think partition #tcmchat

Rhombi_Doc Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@drkchilds attending to precision MP6 #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@MutchmorMath @TCM_at_NCTM Connecting what's happening to an operation can also be challenging. #TCMchat

@tmchiepp @LakeshoreLM #TCMChat rad! Have taught models for three years and never seen these before! TY

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Zakchamp I think equivalents can be big concept here too. If Ss know 1/4=3/12, then 1/3 is easy bc it is just one of those 12ths. #TCMchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger @aprilpfortsiowa Have you read Rules that Expire? Great article in TCM to share with teachers at multiple levels. #TCMchat

MrSmiths_Eagles Oct 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@megyzr And they try to make their model fit their (often incorrect) answer. #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6 another great connect...use set model 12 soccer balls. What is 1/3, 1/2, 1/4 or half of a third of the set can add in $ values #TCMchat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6: Students do not always draw lines straight or in even sections. This confuses other students especially struggling students #tcmchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@MathMinds Yeah I totally agree. This is a very sophisticated way of thinking though. How often did this come up? #TCMChat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger I think they do: https://t.co/i6M0YXt3eU #TCMchat

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@MutchmorMath Great idea for another way to look at fractions. #tcmchat

jody_guarino Oct 12 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger For some, it doesn't map on to their thinking around "equal groups." #TCMchat

MathMinds Oct 12 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@Zakchamp I had one S that would try to do this for everything. I loved it! Once he shared it, others played around w/it. #TCMchat

@aprilpfortsiowa yes! A6: area models #TCMchat

MutchmorMath Oct 12 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@StacyGasteiger #TCMchat help them connect "a third of a group of 1/4" use (X) language " group of"

StacyGasteiger Oct 12 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@jody_guarino @aprilpfortsiowa Love that article. I had our former math coach share it with all the elementary teachers. #tcmchat

Zakchamp Oct 12 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@MathMinds Big fan of that! Student generated strategies spreading through the class. It doesn't get much better. #TCMChat

aprilpfortsiowa Oct 12 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6: If they define what one part is then they can add more to get to the whole. Which is far easier than dividing shapes evenly #tcmchat
