Review Of Mathematical Imagining: A Routine For Secondary Classrooms By Christof Weber, Geoff Krall
Review Of Mathematical Imagining: A Routine For Secondary Classrooms By Christof Weber, Geoff Krall
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
This book review of Christof Weber's Mathematical Imagining yields insight into the routine of mathematical imagining and offers practitioners advice on how to incorporate the routine in the classroom. A brief summary of the book is provided, followed by commentary on potential benefits of mathematical imagining, connection to other research, and suggestions for accommodating for emergent bilingual students. Readers are encouraged to follow up with a reading of the original book.
Virtual Manipulatives: Making Effective Instructional Choices, Katie L. Anderson-Pence
Virtual Manipulatives: Making Effective Instructional Choices, Katie L. Anderson-Pence
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
This article gives three tips for the effective use of virtual manipulatives in mathematics instruction to promote active engagement and student learning: (1) match the virtual manipulative to the learning target; (2) determine the task to pose to students; and (3) encourage discourse.
The Curriculum Review Process: A Powerful Learning Opportunity, Laura Neuberg, Juli Lenzotti
The Curriculum Review Process: A Powerful Learning Opportunity, Laura Neuberg, Juli Lenzotti
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
We describe the value and learnings that came from participating in a curriculum review and adoption process.
Developing Purposeful Questions And Analyzing Student Reasoning: Two Tools, Frederick Peck, Jessica Alzen, Derek Briggs, Raymond Johnson
Developing Purposeful Questions And Analyzing Student Reasoning: Two Tools, Frederick Peck, Jessica Alzen, Derek Briggs, Raymond Johnson
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
We introduce two tools to help teachers develop purposeful questions and collaboratively analyze student reasoning.
Formative Assessment: What We Don't Learn From "Just Answers", Shelby K. Cole
Formative Assessment: What We Don't Learn From "Just Answers", Shelby K. Cole
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
High stakes summative assessments include questions that are proxies of expectations outlined in standards as evidence of students’ proficiency in mathematics. While these proxies can provide valuable snapshots of student learning, this does not always neatly translate to classrooms in support of formative assessment.
Formative Assessments: You Have Options, Shelly Ray Parsons
Formative Assessments: You Have Options, Shelly Ray Parsons
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Formative assessment provides powerful opportunities to enhance and improve classroom experiences. Educators have the ability to empower students every day in the classroom through active learning opportunities using formative assessment strategies.

President's Message, Joanie Funderburk
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Assessment refers to more than just high-stakes tests. Teachers assess students every time they ask a question, have students share work on the board, review a homework assignment, or solicit student questions during a lesson.

A look at what’s ahead for the Colorado Math Teacher in 2016.
Book Review Of The Impact Of Identity In K-8 Mathematics: Rethinking Equity-Based Practices, Catherine Martin
Book Review Of The Impact Of Identity In K-8 Mathematics: Rethinking Equity-Based Practices, Catherine Martin
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Aguirre, Mayfield-Ingram, and Martin have written this book to engage teachers in conversations about and reflection on their own and their students' mathematical identities. While classroom examples focus on grades K-8, the book discusses teacher reflection and practice around issues of equity for grades K-12.
The Seesaw App: Providing Differentiated Assessment Opportunities, Tessa Ziser
The Seesaw App: Providing Differentiated Assessment Opportunities, Tessa Ziser
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
I discovered the Seesaw app, which allows students to create drawings, videos, and pictures that become part of an online portfolio. Although it is not THE answer to assessment, it has become one of my (and my students’) favorites.
Resisting Student Labeling In This Era Of Testing, Richard Kitchen, Michelle Garcia-Olp, Jacklyn Van Ooyik
Resisting Student Labeling In This Era Of Testing, Richard Kitchen, Michelle Garcia-Olp, Jacklyn Van Ooyik
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
We examined perspectives that prospective elementary teachers (PTs) noticed their mentor teachers held with regards to classifying students by achievement or behavior. Many PTs noticed deficit mathematical discourse and expressed concern about how that could lead students to develop negative views of themselves.

Adapting A Number Sense Task To Learn More About K-5 Student Reasoning, Jody Guarino, Chepina Rumsey, Jennie Beltramini, Angie Miller, Kristin Gray, Shelbi Cole
Adapting A Number Sense Task To Learn More About K-5 Student Reasoning, Jody Guarino, Chepina Rumsey, Jennie Beltramini, Angie Miller, Kristin Gray, Shelbi Cole
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Look deeper into how 5th grade students think through a task by examining standards from earlier grades.
The Redesigned Sat Calls For A Conceptual Approach, Jeff Mccalla
The Redesigned Sat Calls For A Conceptual Approach, Jeff Mccalla
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Be intentional about including conceptual questions on every assessment that students take.

Promoting Class Discourse With Warm-Up Routines, Lisa Bejarano
Promoting Class Discourse With Warm-Up Routines, Lisa Bejarano
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Routines, particularly at the start of class, create predictability and provide an opportunity to experiment with instructional strategies that can enhance the mathematics culture in a classroom. In this article, we explore concrete examples of instructional routines, along with resources and consideration of the values they communicate.
Tasks That Promote Problem Solving, Wendy Ward Hoffer
Tasks That Promote Problem Solving, Wendy Ward Hoffer
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
What makes a rich, juicy task that can deeply engage learners in thinking and understanding important mathematical ideas? I have found that a great task offers varied entry points, is open-ended, and invites multiple representations.
