It wasn't overwhelming and allowed me to see how to modify the tasks!]]> 2021-12-01 14:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922956630 It was a great way to see how we could be more flexible in allowing children different entry points for the problem. I liked that we changed them from straight forward questions to showing multiple answers. latwood10 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922957652 2021-12-01 14:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922957652 By removing only 1 solution, the tasks allow for multiple entry points and various ways of thinking. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922957820 2021-12-01 14:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922957820 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922958730 It took me a few minutes to think of a different way to present the problem and still stay within the math standard being taught. But found a few fun ways to change it.]]> 2021-12-01 14:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922958730 I found it to be enriching and motivating! Thinking in this way, using the RFG model, challenges me to provide a better mathematical experience for my students where I can tap into their knowledge base and understand better where my next teaching point may be. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922958910 2021-12-01 14:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922958910 We talked about not telling students the method they should use to solve the problem. But to let them use whatever method is easier. Also to show it in 2 ways to promote discussion on how they ways are similar and different. kcatlett https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922959573 2021-12-01 14:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922959573 I liked how the question or task providing more critical thinking and allowed the student to choose numbers to work with. It set up success. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922959679 2021-12-01 14:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922959679 Practicing with others made it more understandable. This is something I can definitely share with my colleagues. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922959864 2021-12-01 14:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922959864 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922960213 It was a new take to take the emphasis off of the strategy, since the curriculum and accompanying assessments, are focused on using a specific strategy.]]> 2021-12-01 14:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922960213 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922960837 Using RFG often provides multiple entry points for students. This gives each student, grade level, below grade level, or above grade level, a place to enter. ]]> 2021-12-01 14:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922960837 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922960849 Instead of students just having one solution, this is a way for all students to be able to participate and give their answers without being incorrect]]> 2021-12-01 14:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922960849 The framework makes tasks more open by allowing for different modes of thinking and ways of solving problems to become evident. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922961240 2021-12-01 14:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922961240 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922961660 The RFG allows you to take a standard and create open ended tasks to see students thought process.]]> 2021-12-01 14:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922961660 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922961884 It took me a few minutes to understand the framework and how it applies to the tasks. It was extremely helpful to look at tasks in different ways and how to turn one question into a few different questions, all being open. ]]> 2021-12-01 14:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922961884 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922962926 Opening tasks up increases equity because more students have access to the content when the tasks are flexible and contain multiple entry points.

It also provides student agency which allows students to select numbers and strategies that are comfortable to them.]]> 2021-12-01 14:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922964211 Allows for multiple entry points which enables students of different mathematical abilities to participate https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922964415 2021-12-01 14:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922964415 Using RFG promotes the Equity-Based Math Teaching Practices by providing the opportunity for all students to use their mathematical connections and for all to access the work from different entry points. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922964930 2021-12-01 14:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922964930 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922965267 Opening tasks with the RFG framework allows teachers to affirm students mathematical ideas and as builds their confidence as learners.

]]> 2021-12-01 14:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922965267 The RFG framework helps to formulate a task to be open-ended. This provides an opportunity for students to come up with a variety of solutions, instead of just one closed-ended response. https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922967407 2021-12-01 14:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922967407 https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922968233 ONce students have as skill-set, they should be allowed to be free to use it solve problems - just like is done in the real world. This allows for connections between what they know and the grade-level task]]> 2021-12-01 14:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/algebraforall/e3cawrzg5ylk2bjq/wish/1922968233
