Had a great time facilitating a workshop about getting the English class vertical. We explored vocabulary, composition, reading fluency, all in an integrated way. #btcc24 @btcthinks #btcthinks

Got caught not being able to let go of a problem walking back to the hotel room🤣 🤣 you know it’s a good conference when you keep working as you walk out. I couldn’t stop thinking in a thinking classroom 🧡#btcc24

.@JudytaLarsen and I had lots of fun planning for & facilitating a workshop at #btcc24 that went beyond math. Cross-contamination & double dipping gave lots to debate and think about...from gross factors to social acceptability to designing experiments. #btcthinks @BTCthinks

Notes to My Forgetful Future Self: Setting the Stage for Independent Note Making with Michelle Wood, Amanda Wolford, Eleanor Pusey #btcc24

Who loves math? We do!🖐️ BESD teachers deepening their power in math strategies. #BESDistheBEST

We have to get our students out of the maze of traditional grading. Feedback for students has to be immediate and specific to students. @pgliljedahl @BTCthinks #btcc24

Problem solving 1,001 pennies from @pgliljedahl. Les élèves ont écouté, discuté et persévéré dans la résolution de ce problème.

We create one of these when we celebrate a birthday. The number matches the person's age.

Go slow to go fast. It’s so easy to want to rush through and skip the manipulative but they are so beneficial. These fourth graders have grown so much in just four days and it’s so sweet to see their confidence shine! S/O to themselves and their amazing teachers ❤️ #celebrateBISD

Even our youngest mathematicians are starting the year off strong with collaboration & critical thinking in math w/ #VNPS #VRG #BuildingThinkingClassrooms #iteachmath @MrsSaraIrvin

Spent the day admiring our @balesbulldogs students and our @BuckeyeESD math teacher leaders and coaches - Math studio @TDGMath is transforming the way we learn!

2nd day of school. 1st time at VNPS, although we didn't even use them. Today was all about systems. Cards, random partners, and playing 1-2 Nim on the floor under each board. Non-curricular tasks coming soon. Scaffolding for the win. @pgliljedahl #thinkingclassroom

A visual quick overview map can help teachers see at a glance, the math journey for the year! I've been working on various versions with schools. Great for PLCs, grade level planning, Big Picture Talks. You can add dates, big ideas, must have tools etc. Full of possibilities!
