@wheeler_laura I did a few classes this year where I had Ss showcase their learning in a digital portfolio. Rethinking how I can embed a “where Ss are going” aspect to this #thinkingclassroom

@wheeler_laura I want Ss to see the value of this and not just as something they “have” to do. Reminding myself to make sure to have a lot of conversations about the purpose of the navigation instrument and how it is something to help document their learning. #thinkingclassroom

@wheeler_laura I feel I give good verbal feedback to inform Ss where they are and where they need to go but after reading this chapter know where I need to “go”, make navigation instruments for my Ss to document where they are and where they need to go #thinkingclassroom

@KirstDy @wheeler_laura Absolutely! This was really impactful for me to realize, letting students in on the formative assessment so they can both know where they are in really time and know where to go next

@wheeler_laura This is where I am really focusing on in the next few months. Students using navigation instruments to inform them and allow them to see where they are going and where they are. Currently making these for check for understanding questions for my patterns unit #thinkingclassroom

@wheeler_laura Kirk Math 7 Nova Scotia I think feedback that I have given in the past that is unclear where they are and where they are going consisted of a comment or number grade that didn’t really tell students both where they were with their learning and where to go #thinkingclassroom

Enjoyed learning alongside @ScotsburnE teachers through the painted cube task, unpacking #thinkingclassroom framework. Very inspiring to see and hear them work together on this task and reflect on toolkit#1 and book study! @pgliljedahl @MCubedCCRCEMATH

@JRappaport27 @MsMessineo @pgliljedahl Teaching grade 7 as well in Nova Scotia! I think I have a handle on toolkit 1,2 and most of 3 (with daily tweaks) working on 4 transferring collective into individual knowing and doing. Our region is taking a deep dive on #thinkingclassroom, interested to learn alongside!

@TheErickLee @mathequalslove @Desmos I weaved in some history too. I may be reaching out to pick your brain along the way! Thanks for the inspiration!

@TheErickLee @mathequalslove @Desmos This is awesome! I took a deep dive into Magic Squares and Antimagic squares for a project and looking to desmosfy parts of it. I looked at Properties of Magic Squares, Ways to construct magic squares - Pheru's, De La Hire's and Durer's method and properties of antimagic squares

@JRappaport27 @pgliljedahl @KirstDy @AlexOverwijk @NatBanting @Willmdunn @cafedepruner I'm thinking Ss build with base ten using area model-keeping side length consistent at 10, vary width then side length 100 etc, fade to pictorial and symbolic to sense make multiplying and dividing by powers of 10.
