Happy Friday!!
Please spend today and the weekend catching up on all of the new conceptual understandings about fractions in grades 3-5.Start to think about the coherence piece and what shifts are needed in the math classroom in order help students gain a deeper understanding of fractions in the elementary years. (We will discuss this next week)
Lastly, I have posted my chart filled out that you all started earlier this week. (see below) You may want to add to your own after everything you learned this week. You can comment or make any suggestions, or questions below in this blog about the chart if you would like but it is not a requirement.
Thanks for a GREAT first week. The conversations and new levels of understanding are truly remarkable and I look forward to next week!! As always let me know if anyone needs anything or if you have any additional comments after the first week, go ahead and post away!!
Thanks Jessi for a great informative week. I have taken many online classes before and the pace is sometimes too rigorous. I have often found that I spend much more than 15 hours during each course. It's nice to have time to digest the material that we have learned so far this week. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy mind is just spinning with how I am going to use all this great information in my teaching this year. Even more, I want to share this information with my teachers that I work with so that they understand what my students are talking about when the come back into the classroom or if they would like to begin doing whole group lessons this way!
