After my small group discussion, here is what I'm thinking about my students' learning, and about my next steps ...

1. I am excited to video my focal students and gain a deeper understanding of their thinking.  With my struggling student, it will allow me see where the gaps are and what he isn’t understanding.  Or, maybe he is understanding the concept but I can’t tell through his drawings.  With my focal student K who is meeting all of my indicators, why is she showing the work the way she does?  I think this will give me a clearer view into both their learning and my teaching and what I can do next to get all of my students to meeting the indicators.

2. I want to reduce my focal students to two or three  students opposed to four.  This will make it easier to track and collect data.

3. Make a list/poster of ways to represent numbers so that the idea of using representational drawings and number sentences is explicit to all of the students.
