zal usiskin has some thoughts worth thinking about with respect to the testing mania #ncsm16

jill Gough- don't teach everything at once- slow down and let students notice and note. #ncsm16

Jason Zimba says no calculators before grade 5. Doesn't this limit students interaction with numbers to those that are "easy"? #ncsm16

Tom Dick - use technology to build understanding of algebraic concepts NCTM

see you at 9 to talk about good advice from great colleagues that can make a difference in your classroom #shadowcon16

Check it out! We just released Gail Burrill's #shadowcon16 talk. She's chatting with you on Twitter from 9-10P EST. meetings.nctm.org/2016-annual-me…

take time to share with a colleague - what went well in class and why? what not so good and why?

"voices" still talking - planning a review for a test, "let the kids do the work"- they organized the ideas-it was great "#shadowcon16"

Put them in charge - a few groups responsible for the elimination method, others graphing, others substitution - they explain #shadowcon16

let students do the work- jig saws work great to share strategies for solving different problems #shadowcon16

Jeopardy works well to involve sts in doing the work- give sts the answer; they make up the problem and share with others #shadowcon16

When I am not the "boss - they don't look to me before offering an idea and talking about others' ideas #shadowcon16

Safety in numbers - if you & fellow tchrs rethink together, the kids soon learn - you all never say anything a kid can say #shadowcon16

Thanks for thinking deeply about teaching with- me it seems simple to a lot of folks but doing it well is tough "#shadowcon16"
