@cherrylkd@natfantastic @ColinTGraham #mathchat how so? Sounds good Mon Jun 06 20:17:45 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77831562351230978 - #175


@MrHonner @ColinTGraham And do we model approximating? And do we model making


mistakes and seeing what happens? #mathchat Mon Jun 06 20:18:16 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77831693456781312 - #176


@MrHonner Some of the best mathematical "play" comes from making mistakes and Mon Jun 06 20:18:47 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77831824180654080 - #177


seeing where it goes! #mathchat


@ColinTGraham@MrHonner Well, @delta_dc might say those are part of mathematical Mon Jun 06 20:18:56 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77831860260052992 - #178


play too... ;-) #mathchat


@ColinTGrahamWhat areas of your teaching would you find it most difficult to play with? Mon Jun 06 20:20:09 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77832166049984514 - #179


Why? #Mathchat @MrHonner@ColinTGraham @delta_dc Estimating things can be fun! Try exploring the


anchoring principle with a glass of rice! #mathchat Mon Jun 06 20:20:15 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77832193296179200 - #180


@delta_dc@ColinTGraham @MrHonner I would. And taking responsibility for making up Mon Jun 06 20:20:53 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77832354256797696 - #181


the rules... #mathchat


@ColinTGraham Does 'competitive' play have a role here, or could that disenfranchise Mon Jun 06 20:21:39 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77832544942432256 - #182


parts of the class? #Mathchat


@dmarain My experience is that most students get bored after a period of time with too much freedom They are then ready for some structure #mathchat

@ColinTGraham@dmarain Is that more about students not knowing how to play, as Mon Jun 06 20:23:27 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77832996312457216 - #184


much as anything? #mathchat


@delta_dc@MrHonner @colintgraham Cambourne's idea of approximating is more like Vygotsky's idea of ZPD. But I like estimating too. #mathchat

@shnology@dmarain Can there be play and structure at the same time? #mathchat Mon Jun 06 20:24:57 +0000 2011 - tweet id 77833377591459840 - #186
