IT IS ALL ABOUT CHOICES, CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES, THINK BEFORE YOU HIT SEND, CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES, LIFES A DANCE!

Being ELITE is simply being the best version of yourself. To be the best version of yourself, you have to grow beyond your talent. To grow beyond your talent, you must engage in productive discomfort (difficult, purposeful work).

A1: I would most likely use the standard algorithm for number two, if any, because to solve number one and number 3 I would make tens and find landmark numbers. #elemmathchat

A3: I teach MS, and I always teach to grade level standards. I will go down to get some prior grade level skills that are essential for grade level content. Fact fluency is always addressed in one of the centers in my classroom. #elemmathchat

Q6: I have Ss compare 2 worked examples (1 correct, 1 incorrect) and they have to determine which example is correct. They also have to correct the incorrect example by explaining what was incorrect. #elemmathchat

A4: In my school, math fluency is lacking. This has been a topic of conversation amongst my MS math PLC for the last couple of years, but we are finally starting to discuss specific strategies and instructional practices this year in our PLC. #elemmathchat

A7: I really like this diagram! Honestly, I tend to assess or accuracy most of the time. That is really all I am grading when I record a score in my grade book, but I am making observations and providing feedback on efficiency and flexibility.

A8: I am a MS math teacher, but I am going to start do number talks multiple times a week to increase math fluency and number sense. I also gained a lot of games! #elemmathchat

A8: I also learned about the ALN Math Talk Podcast, which I had never heard before. I look forward to listening! #elemmathchat

First game against each other since two Forest City radio station employees were fired following racist comments about Latino Eagle Grove players. Boys & girls players, coaches, cheerleaders joined together for our National Anthem. This deserves attention too. x.com/WoodenNickel33…
