Dr. Nicki is really excited about this Kindergarten workshop! In this workshop we will have deep conversations about grade level specific routines, strategies, workstations, word problems, and assessments.

When you are implementing the fluency station for 3rd grade, if you had students that struggle with addition fluency would you add a bucket for addition and multiplication?

Absolutely. Many upper elementary students need to become automatic with addition and subtraction facts. I would have them play many games.

With so many new skills, how would you recommend managing those skills utilizing mini lessons?

The mini lesson is the launch. I would use mini-lessons to start the discussions about the big ideas and then I would follow up with the priority standard lessons in small groups. You don't teach everything in guided math groups though. Some of those lessons you just explore in whole group and workstations.

What are your recommendations for measurement stations in grade 2?

There are a few big ideas in 2nd grade.  I would definitely have a workstation on money, time, and linear measurement.  I might keep money and time up in a "Hot Topics" station because these are life skills.

Do you have any good websites to help with this standard?
https://www.pinterest.com/drnicki7/measurement/ (this board has some good ideas although it has much more than just linear measurement)

Do you have a resource to help with open questions?

Look up Marion Smalls and tons of resources come up. Also 2 of her books, one called Good Questions and the other called More Good Questions are great resources. Also Robert Kaplinsky's Math Matrices are great.

What is your take on numberless word problems?   I love them... a great place to get started is https://bstockus.wordpress.com/numberless-word-problems/
also consider numberless graphs:

I love the pie chart you showed but do you have a video of how math stations work? I'm very visual and need to see an example.

Can you give us an example of an open ended conversion question fifth grade?!

One thing you could do is write a fill in the blank so that students can create their own problems.  For example:

Jan ran _______ meters in the morning and ___ more meters in the afternoon. How many kilometers did she run altogether?

What were the 3 learning trajectories that you utilize most?
Counting, Subitizing and Composing/Decomposing

# data[].attributes.body
How often should you do math running records?
At least 3 times a year: beginning, middle and end. More for some students, for example if you are trying to work with an upper elementary student who has a lot of catching up to do...

# data[].attributes.body
Would you please provide access to the rubrics you showed such as the partner talk and the disagree rubric.

All of those rubrics are on this board.

# data[].attributes.body
How do you translate this into grades for report cards? Do you suggest a check list or numerical report card?

I'm not sure what this question refers to... if Running Records, then it isn't really a grade it is more like a continuum of where they child is along the learning path.

Here is what one teacher created based on the MRR and the ideas in the book:

ITP Beadstring

I am remaking the ITPs so that they will work on all modern browsers and tablets. They will remain freely available to all without the need for a subscription.

This ITP simulates a 100-bead string. You can move all the beads to the right of the string and move individual or groups of beads to the left side of the string by clicking on selected beads. The controls also allow you to move 1 or 10 beads to the left or right of the string to show addition and subtraction. This ITP can be used to model different counting and calculation strategies.
For more addition and subtraction resources click here.
