Introductions - use your "Plinko experience" to introduce yourself to the group:
What didn't you know that you thought you understood? What did you understand that you thought you didn't know? How do you know when you've learned? What do you notice about yourself? How do you know when you know something? How would you describe or characterize your participation in this learning experience? What challenged you?

My Journal Entry
As we work through mathematical activities, struggle with understanding them, and/or help others gain understanding, please think about things like:
- What is the nature of activities that make it possible for teachers and students focus on the learning and understand what is happening?
- How do I learn? How do students learn?
- What is the nature of the learning of this student opposed to another student? What environment precipitates it?
