Join the conversation... extend the learning!
#NLEDmath



Be sure to join us tomorrow night, February 1 @ 8:30 NT (& ET, 8 AT) as we dig into Chapter 2 in this week's Twitter chat.


We'll be exploring the following questions:


Q1. Good context has multiple ways in and multiple ways out. What problems could you construct from your children’s lives?

Q2. Why is it critical for teachers to choose the “right” numbers within a contextual problem?

Q3. Constraints on a context are very intentional & require creativity. How do these support students in their development?

Q4. If learners can take so many paths, how do we support each child on their journey?

Q5. Effective math communities support risk-taking and discourse. How do you promote this thinking in your role?

Q6. @ctfosnot’s Learning Landscapes include big ideas, strategies and models.
What are the key components to YOUR landscape of professional learning?

https://www.tes.com/lessons/gwCZC39wEmAVBA/multiplication-strategies Join us  for Chapter 6   "Algorithms Versus Number Sense"  Cathy Fosnot and Stephen Hurley guide our thinking through Chapter 6 of  Young Mathematicians at Work: Constructing Multiplication and Division ,  as they explore how children mathematize, think like mathematicians and make sense of number, rather than apply algorithms before they have the deep understanding of number to do so. Tuesday, February 27 on  VoicEd Internet Radio  and on Twitter at  #nledmath , 7:30 PM NT (7 AT, 6 ET)

There's a place for your voice... join our follow-up Twitter Chat! 8:30 PM NT, (8 PM AT, 7 PM ET) Here are the questions from Chapter 5 we’ll reflect on tonight: Q1) When you think about multiplication and division which models would be most powerful long term? Q2) How are models connected to development? Q3) How do we support children to construct models then generalize their thinking? Q4) ”The issue here is not whether facts should eventually be memorized, but how this memorization is achieved; by rote drill and practice, or by focusing on relationships?” (p.86) What practices support students to develop automaticity? Q5) “Models cannot be transmitted any more than strategies or big ideas can be; learners must construct them.” (p 80). How does this shift our practice? Q6) What contexts for mathematizing division are you finding useful?
