One of my favorite things to ask kids is "Are you stuck? Or are you thinking?" I do this because it gives them agency in whether or not I support them. Sometimes, kids just need extra time to think--and if we intervene too soon, we diminish their agency.

I usually tell Ss they can write me a little math poem when they’re done with their test. Here is one of the best ones! #iteachmath #mathiscool

For today’s Red Light Green Light activity, Ss in teams of 4 took turns thinking out loud to solve problems involving function notation. If a S didn’t know how to answer, the team would coach/tutor that student. #iteachmath through structured interactions.

Team Tutorial Session day! Inspired by AVID, each S at the board is tutored by teammates, and get feedback from T before putting into their notes. It’s great to see Ss taking notes from each other instead of the T. #iteachmath & improve Ss math identity.

Yesterday we had a Kagan Publishing & Professional Development Rally Robin to build fluency on zero product property. Some of the explanations I heard were far better than mine. #iteachmath through structured interactions.

When discussing extraneous solutions and we analyze them graphically, I joke with the Ss and say that one of the algebraic answers looks “sus” because it’s not an intersection on the graph. I love it when they run with the @AmongUs characters on their work. #iteachmath

Sometimes I feel like a detective when I’m grading papers. There is some clever thinking going on here… #MTBoS would you give this full credit?
