I like how you've separated proficiency and conceptual and procedural understanding, because some students know how to follow rules and procedures their parents (or others) have taught them but have no understanding why those rules and procedures actually work. They show well, but poke them a little and it all falls apart. So before letting them off the hook we need to really know what they know. That said, our curriculum (Everyday Math) does have great ideas for enrichment activities, tasks and projects that are tied to the unit. So I encourage our teachers to stop there first when looking for ways to engage those "high fliers." I also like to shop at Open Middle and the Georgia Math Frameworks. But it's important to remember that those kids can't just be left to their own devices while we work with the others on grade-level material. It's important to check in with them, and then also provide as many opportunities for whole class experiences (3-act tasks, estimation180, counting circles, number talks, etc) as possible.

Those who have conceptual and procedural understanding? Laura Wagenmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744029637044121461noreply@blogger.com
