"Just in time"

cmcgoldrick7_2 — 2023-10-26 00:40:03 UTC

Sweep in for the kids who don't know it, and the ones that do, allowing them to keep going.

Low Floor High Ceiling problems

tlefebvre6_2 — 2023-10-26 00:42:49 UTC

Everyone has an access point to solving the problem.

2023-10-26 00:42:57 UTC

Affirm: just in time - not a pre-assessment, but giving the challenge and then being there for the key concepts they need. (Spiral)

Spark: real-world connections, can see it and touch it.

how can the whole classroom support the child that needs to be right?

Thank you!

2023-10-26 01:51:11 UTC

GOTS: sticky learning, not about having more time, but rather more intentions, just in time, not just in case. Wide spacing with word problems.

WANTS: are my activities and tasks intentional? Am I just in time? or just in case?

Very helpful!

tlefebvre6_2 — 2023-10-26 02:01:39 UTC

Gots: White spaces between each part of the word problem, asking open-ended questions, open-ended problems.

Wants: More knowledge on how to use the vertical whiteboards effectively.

Thank you Tonya!

vabbott4 — 2023-10-26 02:43:38 UTC

Gots: LOVE the book recommendations! and the quotes of course, so applicable and reinforces everything we do

Also, Love that the example of 'witch on the broom' word problem of how you did not make the word problem easier for the multilingual learner, just reformatted and added supports. Ties in with the warm demander stance and believing in the learner to tackle tough problems.

Want: How do we encourage students to ask focus questions instead of funnel questions to eachother?

2023-10-26 02:47:06 UTC

the brain that does the work is the brain that does the learning

Learning Labs

mguzzo2 — 2024-05-21 06:49:46 UTC

It was so powerful to watch Tonya in action and then meet with her and she came back to watch me, so maybe we can do this as a team level. Seeing her in action is an important piece.

Lab Sites

tlefebvre6_2 — 2024-05-21 06:50:37 UTC

It would be great for the whole team to watch a lesson that Tonya demonstrates.

Multiple Staff PD's

2024-05-21 06:50:45 UTC

Having multiple sessions over the school year to revisit inquiry rich math and reflect

Temperature Check

tlefebvre6_2 — 2024-05-21 06:52:00 UTC

Get teachers beforehand to fill out a form regarding their feelings about the upcoming math workshop PD. Worries, Need to know, stance, etc.

Caregiver Coffee

2024-05-21 06:52:39 UTC

I think it is important in this community that caregivers are informed of, and on board with (if possible), how we teach math at AISG. I think transparency is an important aspect of building the home/school connection.

Community engagement

2024-05-21 06:53:19 UTC

Are Parent Coffees enough? Perhaps invite parents in to engage in adaptive math tasks with their children to encourage buy in?

Equity

tlefebvre6_2 — 2024-05-21 06:53:41 UTC

What are some strategies to make sure we are meeting all learners' needs?

Whole Grade Team

mguzzo2 — 2024-05-21 06:53:50 UTC

As a grade team come up with a math goal and together Tonya works with each grade level team, like a PYP meeting, and then we watch in action.

Pre-visit tasks?

2024-05-21 06:53:53 UTC

Perhaps some tasks need to be completed before Tonya visits?

PD for our EAs,,

taniamareemansfield1 — 2024-05-21 06:54:39 UTC

As our learning partners in the classroom, having some time set aside to support our EA community

Vertical Alignment

mmadigan18_2 — 2024-05-21 06:55:32 UTC

Help promote more vertical alignment so we can avoid gaps / overlaps

Resources

mguzzo2 — 2024-05-21 06:56:03 UTC

Keep sharing all the goodies please.

"Regular" Inquiry Showcases

cmcgoldrick7_2 — 2024-05-21 06:56:16 UTC

Inviting families in to be co-inquirers with learners. Allowing them to come in and see how we live it, while living it and collaborating with learners.

Math Champions

mguzzo2 — 2024-05-21 06:58:47 UTC

Have one champion per grade level so that can be like the liaison, team go-getter. To organize and get teams ready for this incredible 2 weeks.

Leveled Math Problems

tlefebvre6_2 — 2024-05-21 23:40:30 UTC

What are your thoughts about questions that increase in complexity that students can choose from? Ex. Mild, Spicy, Hot

Area and Perimeter

tlefebvre6_2 — 2024-05-21 23:41:40 UTC

It has come up in discussion regarding how area and perimeter should be taught. Do they need to be taught together? Or can they be taught separately at first and then together once students have contextual understanding of each?
