Attending CMC-North at Asilomar? If so, join me Saturday morning for a session focused on exploring practical strategies for integrating language and math through utilizing tasks with routines & fostering problem-solving and communication skills.

Last week a cohort of secondary educators attended the final training of 2022-23 with @svmimac to continue work to bring language into math classes to establish classroom culture.
Thanks to participating teachers & @curriculum_fusd for engaging in this learner-centered work!

It's KIDS #MathStratChat!
Ask your own children, summer school kids, neighbors and post their favorite or clever solution(s)!
Let's encourage reasoning!
It's also fun to comment on other's strategies.

Ts had fun exploring this #fraction task from #MindsetMathematics.
Finding a common denominator ("what's the smallest square = to?"), utilizing equivalence ("If we find orange, then we can figure out purple"), and having fun in the process!
