At TWE we have such a diverse student population, and what
I’ve learned is the word ‘huddle’ has a common meaning amongst many in this
area. In Texas, the word huddle is most
commonly known as a football term—Friday night football is a big deal in Texas. Within the walls of TWE, I have witnessed
huddles that are not related to football.
In 3rd grade math, students are actively participating in
Math Huddles! Just like in the sport of
football, groups of students are encouraged to work together. During their time together,
they solve math problems in a variety of ways. They are challenged to converse with teammates to explain, justify and defend the strategies used for problem solving. I wish each of you could witness our students showing what they know by explaining it to others.
Thanks to Mrs. Reid’s class for allowing me to capture their
Math Huddles!
