MrBinfieldWhich one speaks to you more? What math do you see? What conversations would you start? #fractiontalk #howmany #ElemMathChat #msmathchat #iteachmath #mathchat
How often do we talk about 3D figures based on geometric properties? What would you call these two figures? What other names do they go by? Van Hiele helps us think about the goal of geometric thinking. Where does your grade land? #mathchat #elemmathchat #iteachmath #msmathchat
Always, Sometimes, Never? A rectangle is a aquare?
Always, Sometimes Never? A kite is a square?
Always, Sometimes, Never? A shape has 2 or more pairs of parallel sides?
What A/S/N statement can you create to create optimal levels confusion?
@KarenCampe When I asked the student to tell me more about their thinking, they counted 16 squares, said “4 are yellow, that leaves 12, so 4/12.” Very clearly thinking part:part relationship. Not uncommon at this age. And yes, part:whole and part:part fraction understanding is very important to unpack so we all know what is being spoken of. Not wrong, just looking at a different relationship. #mathschat #elemmathchat #msmathchat #iteachmath
In your #thinkingclassroom who is doing the thinking? How have you intentionally set up constraints to foster a zone of optimal confusion in students? #iteachmath #elemmathchat #mathchat #msmathchat
In the first days of math, what math do you care about? The answer? Process? Patterns?Generalization? #elemmathchat #iteachmath #msmathchat
Justin LanierToday is the last day for elementary, middle, and high school teachers to sign up for "21st century mathematics", a guided learning experience I'm running online in July. Details here!

Karen CampeOk, I think I've solved Problem 1 three different ways.
Any other solution pathways you've thought of? Please share!
