Join our FREE webinar on improving mathematical explanations! Experience a re-engagement activity you can use with your own students! We'll share how we analyze student explanations and collect and share your ideas & questions. #iteachmath Register here: bit.ly/MAwebinar1

@flippyfeets @Math_ANEX Always great to collaborate with the amazing Utah math team!

It's time! Rules: post your fav or a clever solution! Comment on other's strategies. Tell us about your reasoning. Like #MathStratChat? You'll love my free CHALLENGE! bit.ly/changemath #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmathchat

Questions for principals/district leaders/sups: Are there good programs that help admins understand what good math instruction looks like (and that don’t feel overly abstract or require massive overhaul)? If not, would that be helpful? Brainstorming an idea. DM to discuss.

We asked what you think it means to be “good at math” and what you believe your students think it means. What do you think about when you see the results of the two polls? #MTBoS

What do you think this student understands well? What might they still need to learn? How might you re-engage them to help them learn? #mtbos #iteachmath

I think Ss mult by 5 on both sides and get 10x-4 = 100, then add 4 and get 10x=104, then divide both sides by 10 leaving them with the fraction 104/10, then they simplify by dividing by 2 over 2 giving us 52/5!

@bridget_adam That makes sense!

@timms_kelsey @Math_ANEX I think this is likely.

For every response students give, we try to determine the “way of thinking” that led them to their answer. The less common answers are sometimes tough to figure out… Who wants to take a shot at these? #mtbos #mathchat

@ThePointedTOSA Our analysis found that not only are they more likely to arrive at the correct answer, but they’re also more likely to retain that knowledge two years later. We think you’re on the right track to explore this with your students!

1/ These are results from a problem where we asked students to identify fractions. If you only look at correct vs incorrect, you’d probably think the students in 5th performed worse than the students in 4th. A thread about why we believe the opposite to be true. #MTBoS

There’s plenty more to a student’s thinking than their selection on a multiple choice question indicates. We’re committed to investigating and uncovering how students are actually thinking about math.

@Callahan_Math Thank you for a great presentation today! I was so excited and look forward to #communityrootsacademy's continued work with you this year. Can't wait to implement a growth rubric with mathematical practices.

WARNING: It’s Asilomar #CMCNorth, and that means it’s almost time for @Callahan_Math’s annual tweet.

@robertkaplinsky Thanks for the invite! I've got dinner plans, but I'll try to stop by later...

@mymathsoul @beske3 @jody_guarino @twinsrock28 @JessicaMurk13 @MathMinds @ocdestem think of how replacing a square with 4 littler squares yields K -> K + 3n

@jody_guarino @MathMinds @mymathsoul @twinsrock28 @JessicaMurk13 @ocdestem @wgmccallum @ShelbiCole1 @DrakeJcdrake1 @Mythagon Replacing a square with 4 littler squares results in a net gain of 3 squares.
