Anyone ever look at their husband and just see the boy that they fell in love with? Or is that just me?

Forever #LoyalAndTrue, but my Saturdays are cleared up now through football season. #GundyNeedsToGo #GoPokes

@kimrimbey.bsky.social do you know of a source for this, please! #MTBoS #BTCMath

Thank you for leading a great chat tonight @drnickinewton.bsky.social and for your convo @anneliserecord.bsky.social #ElemMathChat

I have been using AI quite a bit in coaching to help teachers plan and differentiate. I have not used it to create fluency resources #ElemMathChat

A10 I LOVE Notebook LM and Chat GPT for differentiating. I love Notebook LM becauseI provide the source! I use district curriculum, or state standards and our state frameworks. I then take that vetted product into other AI tools GPT, Brisk, TeacherServer.com and more. #ElemMathChat

A8 The curriculum used in the districts I serve has games embedded. That is nice! #ElemMathChat

A7 Students have a personal book that provides a visual for their progression. Great for T and parents! #ElemMathChat

A6 My Curriculum, as any great curriculum, has 3 levels of practice built in. I find the challenge Ts face is not having the training to know how to use their curriculum. Check out the OK adjunct teacher requirements to learn why this is extra scary! #ElemMathChhat

A5 our OK math frameworks have an amazing objective analysis section that outlines foundation/pre-skills, skills, and leading to. Having this and the linked units for these lets me help Ts use AI to create mild, medium, and spicy options for standards-based lessons. #ElemMathChat

A2 I have used My just right number with students. I love it and share it! It is fun and so effective for early grades! www.myjustrightnumber.com/home.html #ElemMathChat

A4 When I was at middle school, I used a system to take notes and do formative assessment during our routines for reasoning each day. #ElemMathChat

A3 My districts use Reveal and Big Ideas. It is cool that they have games that support students development of fluency. We are working to create a plan to embed these in the lesson planning/delivery #ElemMathChat

Q2I am an instructional coach. The teachers and I are working on a system to conduct skills basedformative assessments while students are in group or independent work time. We are thinking about really great questions to make thinking/understanding visible. #ElemMathChat

A1 I am using AI in my coaching role to help Ts align thier curriculum state standards/frameworks and progression and then connecting supplemental/small group center plans. #ElemMathChat

Messing around with @wakelet.bsky.social again. I would LOVE to be able to import hashtags from @bsky.app to archive our #ElemMathChat conversations! For now you can check out tonight's chat here: wakelet.com/wake/LbZuram... See you next week when @drnickinewton.bsky.social is our chat leader!

I am teaching a HS Education Careers Exploration Course this year. Most of my students are Indigenous and are from different Tribes. I am learning about their culture and am working to help them see their passions and culture in careers. We are learning together. #ElemMathChat

Thank you for being here tonight and for sharing your ideas! #ElemMathChat Check out this years’ chat schedule here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... If you would like to lead a chat, there are a few slots still open. You can claim one here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Final Question: Q8: Thinking about the school year, how will you be intentional in connecting students' lived experiences to the math they do? What is one specific activity or strategy from tonight’s chat that you’d like to try with your students this year? #ElemMathChat

A7 I LOVE using books and stories about quilts and quilt makers and connecting them to students culture and then exploring symmytry, tessalations and more! #ElemMathChat

Q7: What’s one pattern from students’ homes or communities you’ve used to help them generalize to broader math ideas like multiplication, symmetry, or sequences? #ElemMathChat

A6 1/2 I have learned that storytelling is one of the best ways to center students and to be culturally responsive. I have SOOOOO many books I use - mathy and not - to help students see themselves in ALL the places. I have over 1000 children's books. @sueoconnellmath.bsky.social has a #ElemMathChat

Q6: Have you ever used a children’s book, a family story, or a local tradition to introduce math (like patterns, measurement, or data)? What story or resource did you use, and how did it open up math for your students? #ElemMathChat

A5 When a student says “I’m not good at math,” I lean on what I know about their Home, Hope, Hobbies, Heritage. I can then connect math to what they care about (sports, music, family traditions...) so they see their strengths and the math that already lives in those spaces. #ElemMathChat

Q5: When a student says “I’m not good at math,” how do you connect math to something they care about—like sports, music, or community traditions—to help them see themselves as capable problem solvers? #ElemMathChat

A4 I use Dr. Jamaal's Matthew's 4 Hs protocol. It gives me GREAT insight into my students Hopes, Home, Hobbies and Heros/Heritage. I use the information to cross walk these with my standards so when I am teaching that content I can intentionally to center student's lived experiences #ElemMathChat

LOL! I am behind answering in my own chat! I did not schedule my answers like I usually do! #ElemMathChat

Q4: How do you differentiate math instruction to honor students’ diverse backgrounds & needs? What strategies (such as math menus, choice boards, tiered tasks, or open-ended questions) help you support students who need more scaffolding while also challenging those ready to go deeper? #ElemMathChat

A2 I ask questions about life outside of school to get to know students. They when they are struggling with problem solving and reasoning, if possible, I try to put the math in context for something they experience outside of class or have experienced before. #ElemMathChat

Q3: Building Math Talk How do you encourage students to explain their mathematical thinking in ways that connect to their own experiences? #ElemMathChat

Q2: Students often struggle with problem-solving and reasoning. How do you build confidence by connecting problems to their lived experiences or community examples? How do these help students develop strategies, explain reasoning, and persevere? #ElemMathChat

Hi! I am Melynee. I live in Oklahoma, where I am an instructional coach. My favorite fall routine at school is all the components of my Unit zero. I am also looking forward to using The Leaf Thief book to launch a fun lesson in classrooms in the next couple of months. #ElemMathChat

Question 1 Q1: When teaching place value, how might you connect it to something students know from everyday life—like money, measurement, or even sports scores? Share an example you've tried or want to try. #ElemMathChat

Important Reminder We use the format of Q1 and A1 to keep our discussion organized and easy to follow. Please remember to include #ElemMathChat in your responses so we can all benefit from your valuable input!
