Just your bloggin...I think your work is fantastic. Just your blogging itself is stellar. I know I could find this info on your blog somewhere, but where do you teach?<br /><br />I really like the "circulating the room" diagram. Teaching high school in Boston, I didn't have much success with groups while teaching math, but ideally my students would have been able to successfully work with each other through a problem I put on the board.<br /><br />Speaking of data, my data is in on the math manipulative, the ZeroSum ruler, and it shows a 62% improvement even one month later, without the manipulative, after working with the ZeroSum ruler for 3 activities. The results are beyond what I could have imagined possible. My tool erased years of misconception around negative integers? And these are eleventh grade students!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
