@cfless.bsky.socialA6: I am a fan of listening to kids as they work through activities or play games. You can learn so much there about what they understand. I also love mini interviews- quick and can give you lots more detail than multiple choice anything! #ElemMathChat
Show PostEVERY.SINGLE.TIME !! Gotta talk about why it works... otherwise students are memorizing procedures & algorithms; that only gets them so far. #ElemMathChat
Show PostWow! I have so many great posts to go back and read tonight! Thank you all for contributing to this great chat! A HUGE thank you to @ryanflessner.bsky.social for leading us in exploring number sense! XO #ElemMathChat
Show Post@mfannie.bsky.social Oh oh oh you just reminded me of how I tried tape diagrams - my first instinct was to do systems of equations. Had to retrain my brain!! @duanehabecker.com posts Tape Diagram Tuesday (is he still?) ^^ @ryanflessner.bsky.social that is another great model to use. #ElemMathChat
Show PostI love doing probs with "mixed" groups of Ts - say grades 3-12. The MS and HS Ts are all using algebra, and the Gr3 T is like, "Duh. Just do this and you're done. Why are you doing all that work??" (It's even better if I didn't think of it already!) #ElemMathChat
