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.

I have certainly felt the freedom to do this despite being asked to implement with fidelity. #ElemMathChat [contains quote post or other embedded content]13 Sep 2024 01:31 +0000at://did:plc:3cpcdcxciso25qislcpyiet6/app.bsky.feed.post/3l3ysqjifsc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/bscribmather.bsky.social/post/3l3ysj44hvs2jBack 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
