- having a framework (also imagined as a map or landscape), which is based on big ideas, strategies and models, helps to support teachers in understanding the journeys of learning mathematics.
- this approach recognizes that students are at different places in their learning journeys, and looks to support them where they are at.]]> 2020-03-19 14:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/466325638 Developing landscapes https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/466343160 (comment from Jamie Williams)
- landscapes tend to end at the grade 6 level - so I can't see how they project into higher-level mathematics. ]]> 2020-03-19 14:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/466343160 Assessment through conversations https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/466344654 (comment from Jamie Williams)
- I see this as a tool for assessment as learning through conversations. Here is how it could be used:
- conference with students (in pairs)
- ask questions and listen to their thinking
- use the landscape to understand where they are within the developmental framework 
- offer suggestions and refinements to help them move their learning forward

- A diagnostic tool for teachers to understand where to start with each particular student

It helps to have another educator or school math coach to help with the assessments but this can be hard to arrange.

The 1-1 time gives you a comprehensive view on each particular student.

- only provided for Junior and Intermediate grades
- questions not inclusive to all students, especially those who have extreme difficulty in math (e.g., students with L.D’s or  special needs, etc.)
- not all activities reveal students’ mathematical thinking (e.g., matching games don’t provide indication of student strengths or gaps or whether they were just guesses)

On the one hand it addresses transparency by providing a tool for teachers to use that allows students to be assessed and evaluated based on clear standards related to curriculum expectations. But, on the other hand, it’s not inclusive to use for all students regardless of learning style, and/or need for special services.]]> 2020-03-28 00:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/479303940 PRIME https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/480048286 Meryem El Boury]]> 2020-03-29 01:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/480048286 I have never used this tool, but here is what I found in my research: https://padlet.com/rdheide5/3uii6w8sz3mt/wish/480048599
  • Helps teachers understand the math they teach
  • Helps teachers understand how students learn math developmentally
  • Helps teachers organize and plan lessons to align with student needs.
