Professional learning in action! Here's what they were saying in the recent Bridges training, which brought together districts using Bridges #HQIM from across the state. #DelawareDelivers #DEMathChat @jqriser @MLCmath

A deepening of one Smyrna teacher's thoughts on math fluency! @SmyrnaSchools @PhilWandless TY to the District Bridges Leads for on-going PL support for Delaware's K-5 math teachers! Can't wait to see teachers and students loving their math lessons #DelawareDelivers #DEMathChat
Fabulous Feedback from the recent Bridges training, where educators learned how to develop procedural skill & fluency, using the Bridges curriculum. #DelawareDelivers #DEMathChat @jqriser @MLCmath

IRSD, Cape, Smyrna, Appo & Christina math leads + the DMC and @MLCmath delivered PL to 75+ looking deeply at using Bridges K-5 math to build fluency. Great aha shared by an Appo teacher! @Mathmom321 @PhilWandless JWhaley, JWittman and AFleckenstein #DEMathChat #DelawareDelivers
The recent Bridges training brought together districts using the Bridges curriculum from across the state. We love the 'Aha!' moments shared by teachers who participated! One great example: #DelawareDelivers #DEMathChat @jqriser @MLCmath

6-8, Alg1, Geometry, and Alg2 Illustrative Math is fantastic- unfortunately my school district teaches math ever other day for 90 minutes- any suggestions on how to squeeze this fantastic program into this type of schedule?

@wgmccallum please advise - I have a fellow teacher that wants to rearrange unit 1 of 8th grade IM to teach transformation separately - I have reservations- he thinks it will be easier for struggling learners - please help me with concrete reasons to not rearrange the brilliance

Thank you for such a quick response- his inclination is to teach translations first by picking through the unit and only using activities, practice problems etc... that refer to them then the same with rotations and reflections - finally bringing all three together at the end
