Determining Importance

What matters most?
One thing I should notice...

These were our take aways about determining importance.  We listened to Three Dog Night sing 'Black and White' (yes from 1972!)  and talked about what was important.  We listened for the important ideas - the lines that were repeated - and then talked about our thinking.  Your students have great ideas.  Application to our social studies textbook and the services in other countries was  little bit more difficult and requires more work!

Sticker math proved to be frustrating for some this morning - the question 'How do you know?' created a stir because students were using numbers that they could not prove or explain where they came from.  Something that we will continue to work on.  Numbers can't just appear as if from thin air.
