Consider the studenting behaviors discussed in this chapter. Have you seen any of these behaviors in some of your students? k2mitchell2 https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682624203 2023-09-04 00:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682624203 1. Think about the types of tasks you currently use with your students. How would you describe them? Are they all of the same type, or do they fall into different categories? 2. Do the tasks you currently use encourage your students to think, or do they inhibit thinking? k2mitchell2 https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682625232 2023-09-04 00:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682625232 1.

In this chapter, it was shown that students perform better on scripted curricular tasks if they have first experienced three to five classes of working on highly engaging non-curricular tasks. How do you feel about giving up this time? What are the barriers for you to do this? What do you stand to gain? What do you stand to lose? k2mitchell2 https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682632310 2023-09-04 00:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682632310 The Four 4's Math Task k2mitchell2 https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682640596 Task Instructions:

Do you use different grouping methods for different tasks or activities or for different groups of students? 3. Does the way you currently group your students encourageor inhibit thinking? k2mitchell2 https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682649143 2023-09-04 01:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682649143 1.

What is the worst combination of your students that can come together in random groups? What is your perception based on? 2. How do you feel about the idea of students borrowing ideas from other groups? How does this align with your sense of what it means to be able to do mathematics? 3. How do your current ideas about differentiation align (or not) with the use of random groups? k2mitchell2 https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682652830 2023-09-04 01:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682652830 Ms. Peterson's Kindergarten Class k2mitchell2 https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682656089 2023-09-04 01:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/k2mitchell2/tkfpdvznw42ytww9/wish/2682656089
