@Doctor_Math @MTMS_at_NCTM I use this task with Pre-Service Elementary Teachers and they find it challenging...you might be surprised with what you find.

@MTMS_at_NCTM The task itself would be a good one for my 7th graders to start the year to get them used to the type of discussion, collaboration, and justification I expect. It would be below their knowledge level, but the focus would be on the Mathematical Practice Standards #MTMSchat

Q6 What are you still thinking about? What ideas might you take forward in your own practice? #MTMSchat

A6: I am still thinking about volume and how I might transition this task to 3D! #MTMSchat

A4: What strategies are students going to use, what is the mathematics involved, how can I connect these different strategies together or compare/contrast in interesting/informative ways. #mtmschat #BSD7chat

@MTMS_at_NCTM I want legos like this! #MTMSchat #BSD7chat I have a volume task where we talk about different sized square units filling a space (how many does it take, different strategies, etc.) but we are forced to imagine much of it with wooden cubes. It is challenging but also really fun!

Q4 What possibilities could you envision for this activity if the 3-dimensional aspect of LEGOs was factored in (there are different LEGO thicknesses even though the length and the width might be the same)? #MTMSchat

A3: Ratio and Proportion can be tricky because the contexts are often fluid (like mixing lemonade or paint). LEGOS are countable so it was easier for students to see number of legos growing in relation to each other. #MTMSchat #BSD7chat

A2: Efficiency is dependent on our mathematical goal. Sometimes the inefficient strategies help to illuminate mathematical ideas or different ways of reasoning. #mtmschat

Q1 Introduce yourself & discuss non-traditional manipulatives you have used to help model a situation/solidify mathematical understanding. What were those situations being investigated with the non-traditional manipulatives? #MTMSchat

A1 Thank you for having us this evening! I am Megan Wickstrom, an assistant prof at Montana State University in Bozeman. I have used different sized blocks/containers to discuss attributes of volume. #MTMSchat
