Love the bottom up method! It provides a different way of looking at traditional hundreds charts in a way that makes it easier for students to understand.

[Ms. Olson @MalloryKayOlso2]

This 0-100’s chart activity is very beneficial to students! This activity helps the students recognize the pattern of the bottom up hundreds chart! #411MNSUF19

Snap cubes are great for young learners! They help build one to one correspondence and can be easier to separate than base-ten-blocks for younger students!

[Alecia Hynes @HynesAlecia]

SNAP CUBES are an amazing manipulative that develops conceptual understanding and mathematical proficiency because students can build a new unit or break apart a unit into smaller pieces- stage before concrete base-ten blocks 🤓 #411MNSUF19

This fun and engaging game is called “Race to a hundred” It helps students build place value knowledge and trading skills!! #411MNSUF19

Too often mathematics focuses on picking apart weaknesses, emphasizing strengths can be very impactful! #411MNSUF19 #NCTMNash19

[Cole Gagnon @ColeGagnon]

Love this! Mathematics can be engaging and when it is it has great benefits!! #411MNSUF19 #NCTMNash19

[Susan Loveless @SusanLoveless23]

This is why PLAY and exploration is so important in mathematics at ALL levels! #NCTMNash19

[Cole Gagnon @ColeGagnon]

Great piece! Math is so much more than simply worksheets and tests!! #411MNSUF19 #NCTMNash19

[Dee Crescitelli @dcrescitelli]

Stop using math as a gatekeeper! Mathematics is a way to make sense of the world- and the world needs injustices examined. #NCTMNashville19 #NCTMnash19 3/x @DingleTeach

What a great hands-on activity for students to learn place value! Using every day objects or toys for the students is a great way to get students involved! @MrsDavisFRSD #411MNSUF19

[Alecia Hynes @HynesAlecia]

Sure, base ten blocks are fun, but what about sneaking in place value tasks during snack time 🤤 #411MNSUF19 @BallardsBunch

[Cole Gagnon @ColeGagnon]

Fun ways to build an understanding of place value with a bit of Fall spirit #411MNSUF19 @Mrs.McraeGPE

A little math would you rather to quench your thirst....3 small cups or one bottle? #WYRmath #411MNSUF19 @Jstevens009

[Sarah Ganley @SarahGanley4]

Would you rather have 6 mini Hershey bars or 1 big one? 🍫🍫 #WRYmath #411MNSUF19 @Jstevens009

@ELmagazine @culturelinksllc Our name plays a role in our identity, and not taking the time to get to know students and say names correctly doesn’t promote great relationship building or a comfortable classroom experience. #411MNSUF19

[Cole Gagnon @ColeGagnon]

@Tolerance_org @teachntransform Love this line. We need to give students the tools to figure out HOW to think. By giving them these tools they can see what really is and isn’t equitable in schools. #411MNSUF19

[Cole Gagnon @ColeGagnon]

Math isn’t about who can speed through problems the fastest with no mistakes. It should be about should involve teamwork, new ideas, creativity, and a growing confidence in oneself! #mathmindset #mindsetmath #growthmindset #411MNSUF19 @joboaler

[Cole Gagnon @ColeGagnon]

Students brains can grow in math, but it takes a growth mindset to make big changes! Mistakes= growth with a positive mindset from both teacher and student!! #growthmindset #411MNSUF19 @joboaler

[Kristin Leimer @KristinLeimer]

Nobody is born with a “math brain.” Mistakes help us to grow and learn new things! As teachers, we need to make sure our students know that it’s OKAY to make mistakes!! @joboaler #mathmindset #mindsetmath #growthmindset #411MNSUF19

[Sarah Ganley @SarahGanley4]

As future educators, we need to encourage our students to believe in themselves. "An important way to encourage growth mindset is by praising what students have done and learned, not them as a person" -@joboaler
