How the Google Suite Can Enhance Open-Ended Math Exploration | MindShift | KQED News - 0 views

  • Representations of math problems using words, images and numbers each use different parts of the brain, so the concept gets hardwired in a neural network drawing on multiple brain faculties instead of one numerical pathway
  • students are forced to articulate their thought process, how it compares and contrasts to ideas peers have shared, and in doing so may help the teacher identify any misconceptions.
  • Keeler sees many ways that technology could enhance the visual and collaboration elements of the work
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • open-ended math activities in Google Slides because each student can play with visual representations, give feedback to peers, and receive ongoing feedback from the teacher.
  • Keeler likes using the technology because she can easily see how each individual is thinking about the problem. And students can interact with one another’s ideas, even when they aren’t physically in her class
  • Keeler often tells students not to delete mistakes from the slides, instead telling them to duplicate the slide and keep working. That way she can see the progression of their thinking. This also helps students to see how far they’ve come.
  • visualize division by divvying up a pan of brownies equally among friends. Keeler does this activity in a spreadsheet
