Great online scavenger hunt if you are looking to share the Coherence Map with colleagues. Quick, fun, and walks you through many of the map's different features. #coreadvocates #MTBoS

Powerful questioning by Mrs. Troiani today... T: Is there a pattern? S: No because there's no straight line. T: If I bought a 6000-lb truck, could you guess the fuel efficiency? S: Yes. T: Is there a pattern? S: Oh yeah, the heavier the truck, the lower the efficiency!

An amazing day of lesson internalization at Lindley today. Fantastic teachers + fantastic curriculum = math that inspires!

Today I got to watch the Lindley Lions cheer squad compete. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Ms. Cafaro's students noticed & wondered about the famous board game problem. Amazing discussion!

Mrs. Ross at Tacony facilitated a discussion about her 3rd graders' attempts to cut a paper into 6 equal pieces. What do you notice? Are these pieces equal? How do you know?

For math teachers who grew up in a procedural answer-getting tradition, there is a real challenge in understanding a conceptual approach to learning mathematics. How might we learn to see the "new ways" as something deeper than just another procedure? #MTBoS

A great example of how math for social justice can help us all look deeper, and why math is so important for every citizen of a democracy.

Mr. Grenon at Lindley led his 7th grade mathematicians in a discussion about student strategies for finding the area of part of a circle. This student work shows understanding of how the part relates to the whole circle.

Ms. Harrington's Kindergarten mathematicians at Lindley model number relationships with physical number bonds.

Ms. Bompadre's 2nd grade mathematicians used lots of different strategies to solve today's application problem.

Ms. Jeon's 2nd grade mathematicians at Tacony are using arrays to gear up for multiplication.

Have you noticed how math is saving lives?

APS is looking for a math coach to join our team. I can't wait to start working with that person! chu.tbe.taleo.net/chu04/ats/care…

Spent half an hour helping my son use scissors to discover the formula for the area of a parallelogram. Then he watched the video that was assigned, which justifies the formula with a 10-second animation. Sense-making takes work!

Getting ready to meet with APS's new Math Assessment Committee this week. Can't wait to see these teachers and get our work started!

The end of a long day with the assessment committee. What an amazing team!

Yesterday's DEI training at New Teacher Induction was fantastic. Great job, Lindley and APS facilitators! The young teachers are so much more aware than I was when I started. They give me hope!
