#ITeachMath I see the #elemmathchat has moved here & seems to have regular chats now. Anyone/ #MTBOS know if #msmathchat or #hsmathchat exist?

What are all of the semi regular #mathchats on here? I miss my math community!

What q’s would you ask your students about this representation?

How would you help them think
Additively?
Proportionally?
Part to part?
Part to whole?

What might this represent?

Ss played a game that directly used these relational rods. They now need to score the total value of the rods. For reference, dark green on top=6. How would you calculate the sum? How do you think Ss would?

Using the levelling strategy, Neal says the mean of this data is 5.2. Nat says that the mean of this data set is 5.4. Who has a misconception? What would you ask?
