Illustrative Math Blog - Gifts: A Reflection on Student Thinking by Elham Kazemi, Co-Author of Intentional Talk.
Since reading Kimmerer, I have been thinking about children’s willingness to share their ideas as gift-giving. What do we, as teachers, do with the gifts children freely give us every day? I have been thinking more deeply about what it means to receive these gifts. How can we be “open-eyed and present” as children share their gifts with us? Read More
Illustrative Mathe Blog - Unlocking Learners’ Thinking Using the Mathematical Language Routines By IM Certified Facilitators, Cheryl Fricchione and Rachel Rundstrom: Consider this: A child whose primary language isn’t English does not participate in the classroom to the degree that their English-speaking peers do. Parent-teacher conferences are held with family members who are eager to hear what the child is learning in class, the skills that they have in math class, and where the teacher wants them to grow more across the year. Everyone at the table cares deeply about the child’s success, yet language is hindering communication for the student, the teacher, and the student’s family. Read More
