Two Ways to Expand the Opportunities for Mathematical Discourse by Ms. Lynne https://padlet.com/lstrehlo/f67cq1wscy6a Made with a bold sensibility en-us 2018-01-08 19:57:37 UTC 2018-12-11 14:53:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lstrehlo/f67cq1wscy6a/wish/219578242 During number talk in kindergarten, incorporate students to agree/disagree and justify their anwsers. 
In small groups, partner up students to share their anwser and justification.

For example In multiplication, if a student is solving a multiplication problem I have them discuss and show how many groups and how to draw a picture before solving... this brings alot  of academic vocabulary discussion to dig deeper into the surface level problem]]> 2018-12-10 23:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lstrehlo/f67cq1wscy6a/wish/313206921 Puzzled Penguin https://padlet.com/lstrehlo/f67cq1wscy6a/wish/313207244 The kids like to share how they would teach Puzzled Penguin what he needed to know or understand to see his mistake. ]]> 2018-12-10 23:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lstrehlo/f67cq1wscy6a/wish/313207244 Pairs working on a problem together. lstrehlo https://padlet.com/lstrehlo/f67cq1wscy6a/wish/313207531 2018-12-10 23:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lstrehlo/f67cq1wscy6a/wish/313207531
