Does fidelity work in learning design? Too often I think it reminds me of IKEA. Recently went to IKEA and followed the path until we picked out a “big girl bed” for my youngest. It took me 3+ hours to follow those directions and build that bed. At the end of that time we had a bed and I felt a sense of accomplishment for finishing the task/project. My daughter was happy and I felt it was money well spent. Did I learn anything though? No. Do I now know how to build a bed? No. I do know how to follow directions. I was compliant during the process. But the only transfer that happened was realizing following directions makes a task like that easier. How often do our kids follow the directions with little learning or transfer to demonstrate on the other side of a task or learning experience? Now imagine if I had a robot/AI at home to follow the directions and build it for me…

Day 2 of the Build Math Minds Virtual Summit! Starting this Sunday morning off learning about Problem Strings. I love learning about how to get students thinking and talking about math! @BuildMathMinds @CFISDLieder @cfisdmath @pwharris

How did you spend your weekend? Many of our dedicated elementary teachers spent their weekend learning at the @BuildMathMinds Virtual Summit! #rsdmathrocks

So excited for my favorite PD of the year for math! Build Math Minds Virtual Summit @BuildMathMinds I always learn so much! Looking forward to the opening keynote from Peter Liljedahl and Meagan Giroux @pgliljedahl @CFISDLieder @cfisdmath

When I say “Show me your work” do I really mean, “Show me my work”??? 🤯 #mathisfigureoutable #BMM25 @pwharris @BuildMathMinds

Another way to think about the "greater than" and "less than" signs without relying on alligators

I don’t like getting sucked into social media apps so I don’t get on here often, but when I do I always find gems. Can’t wait for my order of @joyfulmaths games to get here! Who has used these? What do you think of them?

Wow! What possibilities here

Interesting

Wow, in the last pic… “Find the right rather than right the wrong.” 👏

@jgough As always, I so enjoy your sketchnotes!

Is Math Real? How Simple Questions Lead Us To Mathematics’ Deepest Truths with Eugenia Cheng #NCTMCHI24

Making Sense was one of the first books that made an impact on journey to changing my teaching of math.

I’m ready @BuildMathMinds for the start of this book study! I enjoyed digging into this book this week at the beach and can’t wait to learn from others on implementing these routines and ideas this coming year! Anyone else doing this book study? @JohnSanGiovanni

@Zakchamp @SavvasLearning Now that is a powerful duo! So excited to see what you & @MikeFlynn55 create!

Thanks to everyone for the love and well wishes! Both Olympia and the new job rule! 💚 I'm also stoked to continue writing for enVision K-8 with @SavvasLearning as we develop an amazing program for California educators and a new Texas program on the horizon!
