Thank you, Northwest Math Conference! It was a joy to speak here in Whistler, BC.

There was some good-natured high stakes bidding! 🎲 Always a lot of fun to run this task & share w/ Ts 🌟@NatBanting as task creator 🌟@MoMath1 for elevating teacher lessons #TeamSaskMath @prairiespiritsd #NWmath2024 @BCAMT

Tired of students just mimicking? Let’s encourage real thinking! Kyle Webb will show you the way with Building Thinking Classrooms on October 29, 2024. Learn strategies that challenge and engage students at every level. Save your spot: sapdc.ca/program/12633 #ThinkingClassrooms

@ncpgrade6 @ManachabanMS Love it!

Students @ManachabanMS in grade 8 used a word gradient to organize 10 words from success-->difficulty, and then after reading & watching, "Dear Basketball" by Kobe Bryant, modelled their own writing. shorturl.at/jzLVZ #rvsed #buildingthinkingclassrooms

This fantastic game by @DavidKButlerUoA teaches students to make logical deductions about number relationships. With a variation for younger players, too! buff.ly/495Y6V5 #mathgame #mtbos #iteachmath

@jadechausse @heronscrossing Lil video of the thinking in action!

Grade 1s engaged in math and actively thinking for 40 mins @heronscrossing with @forand_l! We love to see it! #rvsed

@BurdessAlicia @webbkyle @pgliljedahl @GPCSD @NRLC_info Two very awesome people! Love it!

Got to spend two amazing days with @webbkyle learning all that’s new and wonderful in #thinkingclassrooms. @pgliljedahl @gpcsd @NRLC_info

Try it out the new @pgliljedahl BTC notes structure with a 6th grade class! Magic! #thinkingclassroom

Here are some examples of what Depth of Knowledge looks like in 3rd to 5th grade. Check out and download my Elementary Math DOK matrix. robertkaplinsky.com/depth-knowledg…

Closing a lesson with 3 examples in a full house with @pgliljedahl , order them in difficulty, teacher scribe formalizing variance. What can we do will all problems first. #thinkingclassroom #NCTMDC23

Note making, first at whiteboards then making their own copy. Bringing order to whiteboard learning with @pgliljedahl #ThinkingClassroom #NCTMDC23

Awesome #ThinkingClassroom pivot in grade nine math today. Take this boring problem. Lawn with dimensions 20 by 14. Pool with radius 10. What’s the area of the lawn? Yawn.

If you are looking for a short, well-produced video on BTC here is one from the BTC book launch in Norway. Thank you Cappelen Damm. @CappelenDamm utdanning.cappelendamm.no/cappelen-damm-…

Great for little and big kids! Stretches from arithmetic operations to natural logs and calculus! twitter.com/MrCorleyMath/s… playwithyourmath.com/2017/07/27/1-s…

@rpondiscio Agreed. But I wish more people would realize that standardized tests aren't just multiple choice tests. This is a standardized test:

Thursdays August 3, 10, 17 at 8-9 pm. This book study is designed for educators, administrators, and instructional leaders who are eager to transform their grading practices and ensure assessment aligns with student learning.

Tuesdays - August 1, 8, 15 at 8-9 pm We will analyze the book’s content, share personal experiences, and collaborate on implementing the principles outlined by Damian Cooper.

@ThinkThankPod @pgliljedahl Excellent!

🚨Don't miss this episode!🚨 Tune in to our conversation with @pgliljedahl and hear about some of the new ideas emerging in the #thinkingclassroom, including a new way to consolidate & a new approach to notes for students. 🎧: thinkthankthunk.kylewebb.ca/ep-5/ #iteachmath #MTBoS #mathchat
