Most students could easily get the correct answer but failed at justifying/explaining how they did it. How do we quickly assess and document understanding of a math concept without using a simple correct/incorrect marking of a problem? leistva https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/186845831 2017-09-12 15:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/186845831 https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/186995904 I noticed that a lot of the fluency practices on Achievethecore.org are very similar (if not the same) as EngageNY. So yay EngageNY!]]> 2017-09-12 23:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/186995904 Not quite sure exactly how to implement these learning activities into my music class activities.... I mean music def helps kids learn, so there's always the basic "make a song out of it" strategy.... but as far as the lesson plans in THIS particular website, I'm not so sure how to use this effectively... apologies https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187006238 2017-09-13 00:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187006238 Yeah for Achieve the CORE https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187306233 and Illustrative Mathematics site tasks. I used those tasks in my fifth grade.  They were challenging and at times, fun. 

]]> 2017-09-13 18:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187306233 What caught my eye in rigor was that students should be able to "use math flexibly" in application to solve problems in many subjects. Hi IB. I need to create that 'bag of tricks' to make it second nature to integrate practical application into the block. https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187776190 2017-09-14 22:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187776190 I think this is great. It lends to real world application. We can build on foundational skills, introduce new concepts, and provide more opportunities for connections across subjects. The resources are there, we just need to take the time to construct meaningful lessons with all students in mind. https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187799946 2017-09-15 02:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187799946 AHA! There are more resources for math intervention that are simple, do not require a lot of materials or set up and are manageable in the 20 minute allotment. So far I like what I see. Thank you Math Team!!! https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187979598 2017-09-15 15:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/187979598 Where to Focus Docs https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188182778 I really like the focus documents.  They could be helpful in choosing our focus standards for data collection.]]> 2017-09-16 23:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188182778 Getting Back to Basics https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188223519 I'm glad people are realizing that they can not get to rigor, critical thinking or problem  solving if students have not grasped the basics. And as they use to say, "Practice Makes Perfect." Students not only need to practice a skill until they grasp it fully,. They need it to increase their speed or decrease the amount of time they spend completing math problems. I have always been an ADVOCATE for the things you discussed at the meeting]]> 2017-09-17 13:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188223519 Webinars https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188305575 The website offers monthly webinars on various topics for math and ELA. You can even access webinars from the past or webinars you may have missed. The webinars are set up so that one is geared towards teachers and one is geared towards administrators on the same topic.]]> 2017-09-18 02:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188305575 Resources https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188326469 I like the fact that they give us more resources to use. The assessments and lessons are perfect if you are having trouble explaining the concept. I know sometimes when something is explained differently to me I get it the second time around. Very awesome to have those at our fingertips and its free!!!]]> 2017-09-18 05:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188326469 Thinking across grades https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188676837 "The Standards are designed around coherent progressions from grade to grade. Learning is carefully connected across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning."

This sounds like a good starting point for vertical articulation in math.

They also have taken the steps to ensure that everything is connected. The frequency of usage for their resources is also fully detailed.

I feel that this site would not be a good resource for Kindergarten based on the # of math lesson that I saw (1)]]> 2017-09-19 01:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188711299 Math Lesson Focus https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188739631 I'm happy to see that this highlights what specific concepts in which we should spend the most time.  As it is very easy to get carried away while teaching math on a concept that is not as important in my particular grade level.]]> 2017-09-19 04:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/montolr/1y4qwyor95si/wish/188739631
