As a part of Women’s History Month, our grade 4 students are really fascinated about the life and contributions of Shaesta Waiz! You are an inspiration to our students! AISLearns #AISLearns
Great first night of #Mathisfigureoutable with Pam Harris
Lots of fractions takeaways but mostly: part to whole is needed but not enough. Teaching [fractions - or insert any topic] is not about answer getting but reasoning. #ReachMoreStudents
Grateful for a connection that started in a classroom ten years ago that led me to learn about this event! #WomenInTech
A10 according to this research, it's showing a significant impact beyond other methods tested #elemmathchat
A8 both show a representation for the same equation, same equation, different way to represent it #ElemMathChat
A6 The circle has the same circumference and area. The radius is consistent in both images. As mentioned, the three parts are not equal and thus the two circles differ in how they are divided. The one on the left shows thirds, the one on the right shows 1/2 and 2/4 #ElemMathChat
Today we had a 7 + __ = 16 pattern that extended to 70 + __ = 160 and had a very similar conversation. Another student wondered if she could start with 6 + __ = 16, and then how is that the same and different, and how to compensate #ElemMathChat
A5 so many options - arrays in multiplication, geometry for sure, strategies for operations including different methods to solve #ElemMathChat
A4 part 2 Also, they both have a 2 + 2 + 1 combination in a different order, displaying commutative property #ElemMathChat
A4 Same - the quantity of fruits, the type of fruit, both sets are uniform
Different - the arrangement, the color of the fruits, one set is all green and the other has two visible colors

A2 The place I traveled to most recently is my other hoe, Finland. How it is the same as my home in the US, is that it has special places and people unique to the location. Different? Climate - right now I'm wishing for something cooler! #ElemMathChat
A1 Most everyone who is special to me is different in the sense that no one shares quite the same enthusiasm for math, math jokes, math conversations...
Same? Many people in my life are educators and share the same enthusiasm and passion!
