A1 I am currently in a coaching role, but I have seen creative ways to problem solve this year. I love to encourage the out of box thinking, which I think helps students feel more confident in taking risks when problem solving. #ElemMathChat

A3 trying to use what we do know to help start and guide the problem solving. Making connections to what we know to what we want to know #ElemMathChat

Thinking about the conversation that so many of us as K-6 teachers are having with our parents. Howie has done some of the heavy lifting for us in this quick video. #iteachmath #elemmathchat

I'm attending the 2023 Make Math Moments Virtual Summit from Make Math Moments #mmmsummit2023 RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 summit.makemathmoments.com #mmmsummit2023

Congratulations to 2nd grade for winning our Wipebook giveaway! We can't wait to see how you use it with your students! Thank you Team Wipebook for supporting our 2nd grade math training! #mathbestpractices #U5 #NorthpointKnights

K-5 math coach, central Illinois. My year is good. The more I learn, the more I wished I was taught math with more concrete models and less mimicking algorithms. #Elemmathchat

Q1 I wonder why the trapizoid is not in the venn diagram? I notice they are all polygons. #elemmathchat

Q2Assessment is what we are constanting doing when observing students' understanding of skills. We do it to inform our teaching. Some might believe assessment is only paper pencil tests, but I hope we can move past only paper pencil assessments #elemmathchat

A3 I wonder if the squares above were 2+2+2+2+2+2 and if the student is ready to relate the repeated addition to multiplication. #elemmathchat

Q4 The student is comfortable with the ten frame representation and using it to count on nine 9 times. I wonder if they were counting on for all of the problems.#elemmathchat

Fill your bag with 21st Century Pattern Blocks. Thank you BTBEF for this grant! Students are loving the exploration with polygons and fractions. Math for Love #bears #unit5 #iteachmath Jennifer Gibson

Hi I am a K-5 math coach in central Illinois😴#elemmathchat

A1 honoring all students' backgrounds and experience, they share in math. This acceptance goes a long way on students' willingness to share #ElemMathChat

A2 counting vertical by 30 minutes, every column is 2 hours. I am wondering if fraction 1/2 would be noticed? #ElemMathChat

A3 I think it is important to give students independent think time before sharing. I also think using discussion stems and hand signals helps students stay engaged and respond to each other. #ElemMathChat

A5 student 4 "Yes 81 is an odd number. Can you share what you are looking at to determine if it is odd?" #ElemMathChat

A6 the sum is 8 1/3. I know because I took 1/3 from 4 2/3 to make 11/3 12/3 which is 4. So now 4 + 4 1/3 = 8 1/3 #ElemMathChat

A7 I think the discourse and connections made during routines are what make them successful. Plus, the low floor high ceiling responses allow for everyone to feel successful and be more confident to take risks #ElemMathChat
