Reply To: 1-3 – Sparking Curiosity Through The Gummy Worm Task – Discussion

[Angie Cummings]

I am so excited. I just finished your full workshop and am now doing this workshop so I can plan my fall and set the kids up for a smooth(er) transition when ever we move from in school to distance learning. I was planning to use this for my middle school students as an introductory lesson to this new way of learning and also estimation practice. But as you were laying them out, I realized I could reshoot this with extra planning so that it can be used later to think about the distributive property and combining like terms. I love the idea of having the same video again – students will have familiarity at first, but the curiosity will spark again when we land on a different question.
