Our math PLCs focused this week on an engagement strategy using Desmos and also reflecting on next steps for teaching using data @CL_NMcHenry @SDPtchnglrng #phled #math #nextsteps #whatwouldyoudo #datadriven

Math teachers Fels High School were participating in an open sort during PLC to experience how these tasks can create access and promote student discourse in the classroom. Carnegie Learning GEAR UP Philadelphia #opensort #mathtalk

Loved hearing Geometry students School of the Future talk about what they know based on the information given in the problem and then seeing them sort these triangles based on what postulate they could use to prove the triangles congruent. Carnegie Learning GEAR UP Philadelphia #studentdiscourse

Students in Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 classes Fels High School engaged in conversations about functions and characteristics of parabolas using a card sort and Desmos polygraph activity!

Loved the conversations Frankford math teachers were having today during our PD on Talk Moves to Promote Student Discourse. ⁦Carnegie Learning⁩ ⁦GEAR UP Philadelphia⁩ instagram.com/p/BtEAtW6Fvqe/…

Building the high school math lead community in the School District of Philadelphia with these great teachers! This afternoon we had awesome discussions around mathematical discourse and orchestrating discussions. Carnegie Learning GEAR UP Philadelphia @CL_RobStraube #longlivemath

Sorting the elements of the task analysis guide made me think deeper about each bullet point! JiLL Swissa Carnegie Learning #longlivemath

Doing a data deep dive with Frankford HS Benchmark teachers was a great way to celebrate successes and identify standards for reteach as we move into the second half of the school year! Carnegie Learning GEAR UP Philadelphia #datadriven #nextsteps

What if there was a way to alter how you taught students or trained teachers so that they were more receptive to what you had to share? There is and this blog post applies advertising techniques to education: robertkaplinsky.com/the-5-types-of…

This is begging to be “noticed” and “wondered”

It was awesome seeing students at Martin Lither King High School work together to find equivalent representations of radicals and share their strategies with their peers. Then they tried an Open Middle problem to deepen their understanding! GEAR UP Philadelphia #longlivemath

It was great seeing students Frankford HS use Desmos to explore transformations of functions and summarize their observations to share with their classmates! GEAR UP Philadelphia Carnegie Learning #longlivemath

Students Frankford HS used and refined their math vocabulary in a full class discussion about Which One Doesn’t Belong and in partners for a matching activity. #longlivemath GEAR UP Philadelphia Carnegie Learning

Engaging in a challenging team task was a great way to create productive struggle and increase discussion about problem solving skills and teamwork. Building the high school math lead community in the School District of Philadelphia “one cup at a time.” #longlivemath

Seeing evidence of intentional group work to promote student talk hanging in a teacher’s classroom Frankford HS makes my day! Carnegie Learning Philadelphia Schools GEAR UP Philadelphia #longlivemath

I had so much fun today with the 5th grade students at Anderson and Meade looking at equivalent fractions and then exploring Egyptian Fractions! Carnegie Learning #longlivemath NRICH maths

As students are taking the Keystones this week and next, it’s a great time to reflect on all of the hard work teachers and students have put in this year! GEAR UP Philadelphia Carnegie Learning #longlivemath

Is there anyway to give students virtual feedback during desmos classroom activities? I typically use them in class, but sometimes students finish them up for homework and it would be great to be able to type feedback to them as they work. Desmos

How are using ClassKick? Looking to give more feedback and structure to CPM review/preview problems because they are great, but I feel like right now with remote learning it is something students check off their to do list and I don’t have enough time to give meaningful feedback.
