Tools & Resources In Support of Distance Learning

How can students use digital tools to reason and explain mathematics? MP2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Make sense of quantities and their relationships. • Decontextualize and contextualize quantitative relationships. • Attend to meaning of quantities in relevant and realistic ways, not just how to compute. MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Analyze problems and construct an argument. • Justify conclusions. • Compare two arguments. Determine correct or flawed logic . • 8

Padlet Important Features Virtual bulletin board to share • ideas Sharing • ▪ Password Account not required to • ▪ comment! Secret ▪ Public Free account = 3 Padlets • • Modify your Padlet Remake your own using a • ▪ Attribution template. ▪ Comments Mobile access • ▪ Reactions ▪ Moderator ▪ Filter profanity 9

Why? hundred, 1 ten, and 14 ones. Siri built 124 using 1 hundred, 4 Post your answer in Padlet. ten and 2 ones. One student is incorrect. Part B Evaluate each student’s Use the number pieces to show a thinking. different way to make 124 using only tens and ones. Share your number pieces and post in Padlet. 11
