It's Mental Math Monday with guest Sara Trujillo! Math coach Sara wants to know how you would mentally calculate how many quarters are in $59.
So many incredible educators at CAMT Conference & all of their talks, to me, brought up new ways to look at what might cause math trauma! RT Georgina Rivera Lidia Gonzalez Robert Kaplinsky Dr. Pamela Jones Seda Peter Liljedahl #bwxme
“Learning goal stated prior to a learning experience makes very little sense to Ss.” Ss have to experience small topics to understand how they are different/connected to the learning goal/concept in order for it to be meaningful. #formativeassessment Building Thinking Classrooms Peter Liljedahl
Jordan Rappaport Peter Liljedahl Lidia Gonzalez Rachel Lambert (look for me on sky now) Maegan Giroux Gerry Lewis, OCT It means students engaging in math in ways that help them see themselves as doers of mathematics and have the opportunity to see people who look like them being successful mathers.

Let’s craft mathematics around the experiences of our students and bring in contexts/history that reflects who they are/where they are from.
Wanted to share some lesson plan templates for #thinkingclassroom, modeled after the format Peter Liljedahl and Maegan Giroux use in the new K-5 task book. There's one for thin slicing and one that's slightly different for rich tasks or non-curricular tasks. 1/2 Building Thinking Classrooms

JUST got my copy and I am SO excited about what I have read so far. I look forward to sharing this resource with teachers next year. Thanks Peter Liljedahl and Maegan Giroux #WSDlearns
These amazing mathematicians took on their first non-curricular thinking task to start building a thinking classroom. Hexagon Havoc from Peter Liljedahl, was the perfect task to begin our journey with. I could see them deeply engaged, collaborating, and wanting more!
This a phenomenal post and explanation of BTC and cognitive load theory. The one aspect I loved most was Jason's emphasis on nuance. As always, the devil is in the details and things are rarely completely black and white. #BTCthinks Building Thinking Classrooms
