One day in and one more to go! Fun! Fun! Super great speakers! Speakers with long lists of credentials. Speakers with great ideas for the classroom. Speakers really committed to improving math instruction.
Some of my favorite quotes or ideas...
No more naked numbers! The process behind the problems is necessary, too!
Hopscotch math...as the students enter the room...an entrance or an exit slip to practice a skill
High Five Wall...slap the wall, counting by 5's up the wall...again, as an entrance or exit slip
Lots of interest in the SNAP training
Math word wall...perhaps on the windows with window markers
The ABC's: Always be conversing, always be connecting, always build competence
Easter Eggs-numbers on the two parts, combine to make given totals or find sums, beans in the eggs to check, some eggs have 3 parts...can make CVC words...or put the vowels inside the eggs
Lots of talk of professional noticing
There were tons and tons of resources and activities. Now...one more day, then I'm off to apply some great practices! Great activities!
