Blown away by @MissGrayinK’s students and what they noticed about the hundreds chart today using the @MLCmath Number Chart app to record their thinking!

Division Math Flips are now available as Google Slides or PDF! Try them out and let me know what to add/improve for Version 2. berkeleyeverett.com/math-flips/ #mathflips

@bwoof Great idea!

@malmess13 A4 - my next step is to practice all of these strategies with staff…they are learners, too. What works well for young ppl works well for us adults too. I’m thinking of ways to improve PD sessions.

Here is Q4 for #octmchat.

@pgliljedahl Thank you for sharing all of your hard work and knowledge with all of us and writing your book in a way that is able to implemented immediately!

@malmess13 Thanks for doing this.

Our chat is winding down, but that doesn't mean you have to stop the conversation! Use #octmchat and continue sharing!

A4: I realized that I haven't been thinking about the types of hints I give, so I am going to try to be more purposeful moving forward and think about the outcome of my choice of hint #octmchat

We would love to continue the conversation with #octmchat over Building Thinking Classrooms Chapters 10-11 on February 3, Chapters 12-13 on March 3, and Chapters 14-15 on April 7. Hope to see you all then!

Last question is coming up in one minute. #octmchat

How often do utilize thin slicing sequencing vs. low floor/high ceiling tasks? It seems as though through thin slicing you have an opportunity to "cover" a large amount of material at once. Do you then go back and dig deeper through rich tasks? #octmchat

A2: 2nd grade measurement- they are expected to measure an object twice with 2 different units; maybe each time one measurement tool stays the same and the other changes and you build to more complex lengths #octmchat

Here is Q3 for #octmchat.

Q3 is coming up. Don't forget to include #octmchat in each of your tweets.

@PetronellaBouv1 Thank you for joining us tonight!

It provides opportunities for teachers to see what students know and understand in the moment and allows for instant feedback. #octmchat

@pgliljedahl I love how you say feeling in the moment. The concepts of knowledge mobility and flow have changed the way I look at classrooms while students are working and conversing. What I observe, how I observe, what stands out, etc. has been shaped by those two concepts! #octmchat

A1: I find it is way easier to use this form of differentiation. And I fell more in the moment when using it. #octmchat

Here is Q2 for #octmchat. How might you use thin slicing in an upcoming lesson?

@mrmakemathsense Thank you for joining us tonight!

@bwoof That is wonderful! It is fun to see how these practices spread as teachers see others utilizing them they want to try them out too! #octmchat

@malmess13 I have purchased over 15 books for my staff….they love both the orange one and then the smaller blue one. #ontmchat

Who's joining us tonight? Take a moment to say hello! #octmchat
