Yes, opinions matter when we land in a movement. So appreciate Bob sharing his about Vermont educators being at the heart of the solution. vtdigger.org/2025/03/05/b...

What teacher moves elicit thinking in a problem based lesson? Loved working with teachers today as we experienced a lesson and planned future learning.

List of student and teacher actions/moves that are critical in a problem based lesson.

Thank you @pambrett.bsky.social for bringing what seems routine to the forefront. So many important teacher actions and student actions unfurl within the use of math language routines, math reasoning routines. I'm certainly elevating routines with new vigor after this chat.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

I really appreciate this @mfannie.bsky.social as we have to give ourselves permission to trust the thinking in the room - and we can amplify our resources with small "tweaks." I have certainly felt the freedom to do this despite being asked to implement with fidelity. #ElemMathChat

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

Back to cog load and the routine, I often feel like great routines flow with the class and allow me to shift my lens to be more present listening and asking questions so that I can learn more about the ideas in the room. Great routines allow me to defront more, and yes, listen 2, not 4.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

The joy of finding multiple creative ways allows for some great dopamine release and creates space for all to be validated as owners of math ideas.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

It would be ideal to see a math routine to launch each new lesson - let's call it a "warm-up." So powerful as a 5-10 minute formative look into a classroom, as well as a routine to link to the learning goal that transitions into the deeper study of the lesson.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

Love the dozen and a half. And bringing in the digits - with birthdays...Totally forgot how my 4th graders loved "date math" as we crafted expressions with each new day.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

So agree here - the cognitive load effect on both math facilitator and the learners in the room is so important. It is a joy to enter into classrooms and see routines in the moment and the differences that are evident vs a classroom where routines may not exist - yet.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

Routines are invitational, inviting many divergent ideas that cluster around an idea. As open moves, we create space for all to have voice, identify with the math, and begin to establish a culture where we focus on our strengths and students can see each other as the owners of mathematical thinking.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

Thinking about a 20 frame, missing 2. As well as the sums - I might use with two addends, three addends and more. As well as multiplying 1 group of 18, 2 groups of 9, 3 groups of 6, 4 groups of 4.5, ...

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

Thank you for sharing some time this evening. I appreciate you all. #ElemMathChat

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

A key point for sure - @mfannie.bsky.social often I encounter educators not willing to ask questions for which they may not have an answer - being vulnerable and open to new ideas seems to be a challenge some are not ready to embrace, yet.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

John Dewey (Love those Vermonters) stated, "We don't learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience." As we wrap up our chat - how can we engage with reflection to reinforce our mather communities? #ElemMathChat

A fantastic collection of work - can't wait to share with some aspiring math educators in the next few weeks!

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

Questioning...we pondering listening. So how might the many types of questions we pose frame the mather space? #ElemMathChat

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

Within a give math class - I hope to "gather" ideas often. May be in a warm up - may be around a group conversation in an activity, or at the close of a lesson. Hanging some unfinished ideas in parking lots, or in visible spaces for further consideration as we keep our minds moving.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

#ElemMathChat - Our Mathers are in good hands with this group. Let's consider the next layer - parents.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

So this is a challenge - to create more positioning space for listening and making sense of...makes me realize my role as a mather does include being less of a teacher, more of a ambassador who sits alongside the math in the room being cultivated by the thinkers and doers. #ElemMathChat

An area I often grapple - am I annotating? Am I scribing? At what moment do I enter with purposeful notation? #ElemMathChat

Well - we're hanging out in this so let's just name how we encourage autonomy and ownership with our learners. Share a moment where you made this happen. #ElemMathChat

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

Navigating the social culture of the mather space - often first at the individual think time, then moving into small groups. What moves can we use to fold individual ideas with developing group ideas?

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

Love this @dcrescitelli.bsky.social "Ask questions that prove student thinking and expand it… and really LISTEN to them. Have students repeat and reframe as needed in ways that highlight the brilliance of student ideas. " #ElemMathChat

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

#ElemMathChat - So we lean into math routines like "Notice and Wonder." Take us deeper - what's next as we build with student sociomathematical contributions during our mather sense making. What might this look like in a classroom? In a community?

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

The open space we enter with Notice and Wonder, yes, such an important entryway to allow all to be positioned with ideas worth sharing. We must acknowledge the "Notice and Wonder Woman."

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

I have to say - this challenges me in a myriad of ways when in a room of k-5 mathers, clock ticking steadily, and the district scope and sequence hanging out on a nearby teacher desktop.

Brendan Scribner @bscribmather.bsky.social · 06/09/2024

#ElemMathChat - Let's get thinking. Consider some ways you lean into inclusive positioning with mathers in your spaces. Share some recent ideas.

As a math educator, in what ways might I take myself out from between the mathematics and students? How can I open space for students to have full access to discovering mathematical ideas themselves? #Elemmathchat
