    Get ready for Fishbowl Description Fishbowl is a strategy used not only in classrooms but also in business meetings and other settings where group dynamics are important. This technique allows for a richer discussion of any given topic, and it frequently helps build community by focusing attention on the ways that particular group might work together more productively.

    by Terry Heick The difference between students and learners is something we've discussed before. On the surface it's a matter of tone and compliance, but it also has to do with purpose-why are they learning? How much of themselves are invested in the process? And does it lead to personal change, or mere performance?

    The authors speculate that children did so well because the explanation capitalized "on young children's drive for coherent explanation, factual knowledge, and interest in trait function, along with their affinity for picture storybooks."

      Whereas the goal of problem solving activities is for students to use some context to better understand mathematics, the goal with [our] applied activities is the exact opposite: to use mathematics to explore how the world around us - the external world that we often think of as the real, real world - works. Instead of discussing which type of activity - procedural, conceptual, or applied - we should use, a more constructive conversation would be about how often and when.  instead of debating which world is the best, we would do better to consider how to best integrate them: how to stop the pendulum from swinging and find its equilibrium (or at least limit the swing to a stabler range). How real-world an activity is first depends on the world in which it exists, and the goal it's intended to serve.

    Great blog to know about. In order to decide whether a particular math activity is "real-world," it's important to first determine the world in which the activity is intended to exist. From our perspective, there are three different worlds that constitute the universe of math instruction: the world of procedural fluency; the world of conceptual understanding/problem solving; and the world of applications. Only once we understand how each world works can we determine whether an activity within it is "real" or not.

    We don't give grades... because we give more descriptive feedback. I think it would be interesting to see of we notice any increase in learning since we switched - or if kids' attitudes/beliefs about learning changed. I think standards-based grading has increased teacher understanding of learning outcomes and allowed more flexibility in designing learning experiences and assessment.
