CGI Principles by Cathy Nguyen https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd What thoughts or wonderings do you have about this principle? Or why did you choose it ? en-us 2020-05-22 18:20:33 UTC 2025-12-15 18:02:36 UTC hello@padlet.com I wonder aliciajackson https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552372 How can I make student thinking more visible...]]> 2020-05-23 16:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552372 I chose this principal because most of my students (ETK) come in not being able to count. However, they still know a lot about counting. For example, they know that start counting at 1. When we access what they already know, it shapes our instruction. It also views the students from an asset based perspective. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552374 2020-05-23 16:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552374 I come across many students nervous about math. I was one of those students growing up. I want my students to extend their mathematical ideas and not be afraid to "think" outside" box. I want them to simply enjoy the process! https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552393 2020-05-23 16:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552393 https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552442 This is why it is so important to observe our students BEFORE we teach. It is essential to see who they are and what skills they are bringing to the table so we don't make assumptions and just teach to the age or grade.]]> 2020-05-23 16:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552442 Preach! lauren_bush https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552603 Having this as a foundation of my approach to teaching math allows me to see every child as capable and for me to then create space for all children to engage in mathematics in ways that are meaningful to them and based on what they know how to do. ]]> 2020-05-23 16:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552603 Students who view math as part of their identity are more engaged and more likely to take risks in their mathematical learning. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552735 2020-05-23 16:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552735 Freedom to think sherita_rogers https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552796 Working with AUT ALT students I know they are capable of working within these activities and programs.  I want to see how their minds receive and practice math habits with out it being ideas I've presented to them. 

In what ways can I foster their own abilities to comprehend math as a concept? ]]> 2020-05-23 16:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590552796 This principle was life changing for me as a teacher. Seeing kids as having knowledge and not as having a deficit. mslafortune https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553090 2020-05-23 16:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553090 Students are so creative in their thinking and I am always impressed by it llc8487 https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553164 2020-05-23 16:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553164 I agree about being a nervous kid in math. I'm a visual person I need to see it written out not just explained verbally https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553205 2020-05-23 16:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553205 I tend to make assumptions about what my students are able or not able to do. I must challenge myself and my students. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553236 2020-05-23 16:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553236 I sometimes feel like my students wont understand something and they surprise me. While I didn't have many participate this week, the ones that did really come up with some cool collections and responses. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553259 2020-05-23 16:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553259 When it comes to math students have an understanding of number sense, rote counting, and written representation of numbers. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553298

]]> 2020-05-23 16:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553298 I chose this one because I have found myself changing many lessons along the way, not only in math, because the students’ thinking took me in directions I had not foresee that were very interesting anyway. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553324 2020-05-23 16:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553324 Maribel Lujan https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553365 It is a given that not all of our students come into our classrooms with the same knowledge or practices but I think this principle is important for us to keep in mind all of the time. Whether our kids come in with  few number or already adding they come in with something. As teachers we can only build from there and help them gain more Math.

Just not with math but with life as well. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553398 2020-05-23 16:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553398 Having high expectations with appropriate levels of support is critical to help bolster math confidence deliarios https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553507 2020-05-23 16:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553507 https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553508 I am interested in knowing the progression of students math thinking. The agenda looks like we will get to that today. Excited!]]> 2020-05-23 16:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553508 children have a natural desire to count and as they witness family or other people, including peers, counting they naturally learn to use that as a tool to know how many https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553571 2020-05-23 16:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553571 I'd like to know how to support and move student's thinking forward to more sophisticated mathematical thinking. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553625 2020-05-23 16:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553625 I am often surprised by the way that a student can solve a problem in a way that I had not even thought of. I need to be open to letting them be comfortable to solve it how they want and not expect it done a certain way. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553644   ]]> 2020-05-23 16:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553644 I feel the details learned in observing the students' work informs us of where they are, what they are applying, and what areas I need to support them in . https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553767 2020-05-23 16:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553767 This is very important for differentiating instruction and meeting the needs of all the students. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553949 2020-05-23 16:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590553949 ljb0129 https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554096 I feel that this is super important because we have to build on what students know and can do, instead of just going through the standards. Their thinking should drive instruction.]]> 2020-05-23 16:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554096 I love to see how the kids decide to count and the different ways that they think. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554133 2020-05-23 16:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554133 I liked this one because my class this year was the "at risk" class. Had colleagues question if my students could do the same things as their students, yes they can! They may do it differently but they definitely can. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554480 2020-05-23 16:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554480 Knowing the trajectory helps the teacher ask guiding questions to enhance their mathematical thinking. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554803 2020-05-23 16:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554803 This is very difficult for me https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554989 2020-05-23 16:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590554989 It's important to keep this in mind right now with distance learning. Children are capable of learning to count at home. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590555464 2020-05-23 16:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590555464 When I did collections this week with my kids I noticed a wide variety of skills https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590555536 2020-05-23 16:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590555536 I like this one because I think of my kinders and how I want to ensure they grow all year long and feel challenged. https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590555757 2020-05-23 16:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590555757 I think we must always ask questions to students and listen attentively to what the child has to say about how they counted https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590556074 2020-05-23 16:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cathynguyen21/3e5atngh3941mayd/wish/590556074
