This Saturday I wanted to do a little trip around the blogosphere to look for things to blog about. \u00a0As much as this blog is about documenting my growth as a teacher, this blog should provide a space to document what I am learning from other people. \u00a0This week I felt like learned a lot from a number of things I read, but when it was time to get a post up, these are the ones that stuck out in my head:<\/p>\n
@trianglemancsd<\/a> has been going through the questions from the ‘Grant Wiggins Challenge’<\/a>, and has produced a set of great posts that quickly challenge the depth with whcih\u00a0I thought\u00a0about the mentioned topics. \u00a0I was really interested in the third question<\/a>, where Wiggins’ asked about the often-memorized, rarely-conceptualized, ‘same-change-flip’ algorithm for division of fractions. \u00a0Danielson’s response introduced the words partitive and quotative division into my vocabulary and led me on a fascinating trip down a mathematical<\/a>\u00a0rabbit<\/a> hole<\/a>\u00a0which could rival a graduate class.<\/p>\n Also interesting is that Grant Wiggins himself shows up in the posts, creating a pretty interesting and cordial conversation (their interactions stop far short of a\u00a0Public Intellectual Death Math<\/a>).<\/p>\n @mythagon<\/a> created the cutest video<\/a>\u00a0about (not) grading math assignments and there is really know way you can’t watch it. \u00a0It was based off of an article<\/a> that I had read before and forgot when the school year started, that I was happy to rediscover. \u00a0I was disappointed that I was in the middle of grading when I watched it, as it made me instantly want to change my practice.<\/p>\n @sophgermain<\/a>, the gauntlet-thrower-downer of the 30 day math blog challenge did a quite proper round up of #MTBoS30 posts<\/a>, which you are\u00a0better off just checking out for yourself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8\/30 #MTBoS30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Saturday I wanted to do a little trip around the blogosphere to look for things to blog about. \u00a0As much as this blog is about documenting my growth as a teacher, this blog should provide a space to document what I am learning from other people. \u00a0This week I felt like learned a lot […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4xz6U-1E","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106,"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions\/106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coast2coast.me\/carl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
