Start
- Start hooking students by asking them to estimate an answer first, then layer on information to help them solve it. Check solution against original estimate ("How Technology Can Help" via @ddmeyer)
- Building vocabulary skills by asking students to rewrite questions using mathematical terminology ("White Paper on Problem Solving: What I Did Last Year" via @mpershan)
- Using PEEL to explain and summarize concepts
- Comparing and contrasting through Venn diagrams, analogies, metaphors, and sorting
- Explain the purpose behind things I ask students to do
- Giving weekly practice quizzes
- Standards-based Grading
- Classroom Leaders

I guess it's a good thing that I can't think of anything to stop but mostly I'm excited about all my ideas to start.
There is some AWESOME stuff here. I will have to come back and explore it more fully when I have time. Thanks for sharing!
