Students who set their own goals and get regular feedback on progress have higher levels of achievement in general, beyond only the goals they set (Hattie, 2009; Henderlong, et al., 2007). Here is a student goal setting sheet. Feel free to use. #LeadInclusion #education #edchat

The most valuable voice in a meeting isn’t the person who talks the most. It’s the person who says the most with the fewest words. Dominating the discussion signals high self-importance or low self-awareness. Making space for others to contribute shows respect and earns respect.

If you’re 3-5th and you aren’t doing counting collections yet…
Replying to @ValVoboril
@ValVoboril's 4th graders used counting collections to have a super engaging and hands-on learning experience of place value. Listen to the pure joy & excitement as they counted all the way to 8,400! Thanks for the inspiration @BerkeleyEverett! 😀👍 #countingcollections #cgimath

Videos explaining math content give me the feeling of understanding, but i find the “understand” is often an illusion: it disappears or doesn’t transfer. My moments of profound understanding have come at the end of 1.5 hour conversations with colleagues about one idea/problem.

How many ways can you make 6? Kindergarten parents had some hands on learning (with a little help from an expert!) #gespln #allmeansall

Cards are versatile and handy! Today we worked on number bonds & part part whole. Really pleased that towards the end of the session, my student was able to flip over a new card and quickly work out "ah, I have 'too much' to make a 10!" #elemmathchat #mathisfun

I often use custom Splats to teach multiplication. Here are 3 in a sequence with the key question, "How many are under each splat?" and then a 4th image (completely separate) aksing "If 1 splat contains 5 dots, what would the total be if there were 4 splats?" #iteachmath #mtbos

"The number I'm thinking of is greater than 4!" My pacman #Multisensory version of the 'monster squeeze' game was a hit! Not that my 6yo knew pacman. Unifix cubes help with #numerosity. #iteachmath #mathschat #mathisfun

If you are interested in visual prompts AFTER the concrete experience, consider checking out this series of visuals: mathisvisual.com/mean/
Ss are using cubes to model what MEAN means. Great lesson from @joboaler. #GoGrizzliesNKC #NKCSchools
