MLR 5 is Co-Craft Questions and Problems. In 6th grade, we recently implemented this math language routine. Take a look to see this process modeled! #OpenUpMath, #iteachmath #MTBoS #learnwithim youtu.be/ks_1eNq0KCk
This video from @gfletchy makes me realize that I never REALLY understood division as a kid. I was just a good robot. gfletchy.com/2016/01/31/the-…

A5: I am going to keep being brutally honest about where I am at and the mistakes I am making. I am going to keep apologizing when I mess up. I am going to keep pushing for equity. I am going to keep resisting. I will be better. #OURHIVE

It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek! With so many ways to celebrate the week, we started by asking teachers a simple question: "What Do Teachers Really Want During Teacher Appreciation Week?" See the responses in our blog: hubs.ly/H0hLc370 #ThankATeacher #OpenUpMath #OpenUpELA

I think it’s time for adults to get back into playing. At some point, so many seem to stop living in that zone.We watch children randomly dance, sing, climb, explore, dress like a superhero on any given day & more;yet we refrain.Let’s let our inner child back out & be fun & free.

"My definition of a good teacher has since changed from 'one who explains things so well that students understand' to 'one who gets students to explain things so well that they can be understood.'" — Steven C. Reinhart from bit.ly/2DU3Za9 #iteachmath #MTBoS

Here's my 3 sentence blog post: 1) Word problems do not exist in real life outside of school. 2) We teach students strategies for solving word problems like Three reads and CUBES. 3) Students will never use strategies like Three reads or CUBES in real life outside of school.
