Math Model Reflection by Sue Kanopka https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5 What are your takeaways​ from the lesson that was modeled in your room? en-us 2017-11-21 18:41:35 UTC 2025-10-28 14:26:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Alex DiMeglio adimeglio https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211056559 I liked how students were grouped strategically and heterogeneously so that everyone had something to contribute to the discussion. I also liked how partners could clarify their understanding with another group in order to feel more confident when publishing their work on chart paper. This was a perfect problem to promote productive struggle. Finally, it was great to see the kids analyzing others' work, looking for similarities and differences in their math strategies.

I felt the time to reflect and compare with other teams was another opportunity to learn. ]]> 2017-11-28 17:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211056858 I liked how they created posters with markers https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211056954 2017-11-28 17:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211056954 https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211057154 Excellent time management...from a student teacher's point of view :)]]> 2017-11-28 17:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211057154 The lesson worked perfectly as a model for problem solving with Part ABC. Follow up with similar problem to do on your own was the next step. I could see who really got the idea and who needed more practice/support. https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211057358 2017-11-28 17:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211057358 https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211057407 Kids working together was definitely helpful in them recognizing errors/issues. Helped for them to hear it from a peer not always an adult.

Matching up students with similar abilities to work together and support each other. gthamm https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211057553 2017-11-28 17:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211057553 I liked the problem that was chosen. It was deep enough to require some struggle. msadowski https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211058209 Incidentally, I actually remember the struggle with the problem during PSSAs. ]]> 2017-11-28 17:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211058209 https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211058345 I liked the movement, and the idea of starting with partners, who then created groups of 4. With more training/ experience, having partners who "get it" teaching kids who "don't" could be a fun, powerful tool]]> 2017-11-28 17:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211058345 https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211059362 The problem was a great example of what they need to see and practice. The collaboration was fantastic, and the productive struggle was a great assessment opportunity. Students being able to see that there was more than one way was beneficial. Sharing thinking was a great help to those who struggled.

I carried this over to a math review on equivalent fractions as a way to review for their test. Got them to "see" the many ways to solve a problem. https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211059753 2017-11-28 17:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/skanopka/ac5wdmdntwc5/wish/211059753
