@pwharris I knew there would be 20/4 in the 5 wholes, plus 1/4 is 21/4. 21 divided by 3 is 7, so 7/4 in each of the 3 equal groups. 4/4 is 1 whole and 3/4 left so 1 3/4 in each group.

It's time for #MathStratChat! Rules: post your favorite or a clever solution! It's also fun to comment on other's strategies. Tell us about your reasoning. Retweet so others can see! #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmath

Here are 5 things that are wrong with the gradual release of responsibility model (I Do, You Do, We Do) when used during mathematics instruction... What are your thoughts? #mtbos #math

Junie B Jones had two fans at Meadow View Primary's Character Day as students and staff celebrated Read Across America Week! #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek2022 #WarriorPride #JunieBJones

@WaupunSchools Day 2 of AVMR learning! Engaged in an activity that often challenges educators thinking about how kids learn mathematics and the strategies that tell us about a S level of sophisticated thinking @kimliermann1

@MrsTJaeger @WaupunSchools Had a great weekend getting to work with some incredible colleagues!

Donations to my project are currently being doubled! I would love to be able to mail or drop off a copy of our next read aloud to my students now that we are doing virtual! donorschoo.se/e/udcFBSofNab

I'm teaching 5th grade this year due to our hybrid learning plan, and I'd love to have books for my students to follow along with our next read aloud! Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: donorschoo.se/e/LPjaGzoIrab

Video games get harder at each level. If they didn’t, kids would quit. As humans we love challenge. We need to build a culture of problem solving in our classrooms that expects students to productively struggle and persevere. @fawnpnguyen #wismath19

My fear is that high stakes testing as we know it has NOTHING to do with real assessment and EVERYTHING to do with establishing the hierarchies used to feed the ideologies that justify status quo. #EduColor

My new blog: Algorithms Are Not Enough! It's not about my classroom teaching, but about a recent tutoring experience.

@MarkChubb3 Intervention has become a system to identify children rather than a system to prevent identification. Children languish in intervention forever and never exit. Would the money be better spent improving supports in tier 1?

From a friend for the We-Have-Our-Work-Cut-Out-For-Us dept: I asked for 1/3 lb of ground beef. He put some on the scale & it showed 0.56. When he reached to get more, I said, "I only want 1/3 lb--that's .333 on the scale". He said, "Thanks. I'm new here."

I love using this engaged, neutral face when discussing math with students! I first learned this from @pwharris. This practice shows a focus on thinking and justifications beyond answer-getting. Another great snippet from @TracyZager's #BecomingMath! #T3Learns #MTBoS #ITeachMath
