Great Minds Think Alike! And both minds were probably thinking at
2:00 a.m. last night! Although I would love to be in the category
of "great" mind with you, I'm still learning and growing. I'm sorry
I'm making you think of my lessons again, Jan. At least it's building
dendrites for you.

I did exactly what you described in my teaching today. I taught
equations ("number sentences" by the book lingo) today and part of my
teaching lesson was distinguishing between examples and non-examples
and then distinguishing between expressions and equations. They were
really MUCH sharper and more "on" today with equations and I think the
lesson yesterday helped.

Can you help me with my previous question about assignments for the
kids who "get it"? What would I do with them for just those few
minutes that wouldn't require a lot of explaining and teaching for
their new assignment? It still should be congruent with the objective
right? Could you give me an example of an assignment that I would do
with them? I always ask people this for logistics reasons and I can't
ever get specific examples of what would be correct. Thanks!
