Such a privilege to introduce Ts to the world of #thinkingclassrooms. We used the task Answers Are and stayed in flow, communicated with our group using one marker, perseveared by being more willing to engage in productive struggle when on the heels of success. @btcthinks.bsky.social #ITeachMath

Doing a version of @btcthinks.bsky.social "The Answer Is..." for Calaculs, day 1 of semester 2. I added log/root as the fifth operation.

Using whole numbers 1 to 10 and +, -, ×, ÷ and either log to any base or root with any index, create a list of 5 whole numbers

Moving collective knowledge into individual learning by fostering responsibility in learners is a powerful piece of the #buildingthinkingclassrooms #thinkingclassroom framework. It takes time to work on, but the new tools coming out for this are so helpful!

SO excited to be at the #AMTNYS23 conf. in Syracuse, NY! Opening keynote by Peter Liljedahl on consolidation. Do we want students to be accountable to us OR responsible for their own learning? Consolidation is the key to move from group knowing to individual learning. #buildingthinkingclassrooms
