We use the "relative position" of one number to another when we add and subtract! In this problem we have $89 and the item we want costs $105. How much more do we need? I wouldn't use an algorithm in real life. Discrete models can't do that. @origomath#iteachmath#elemmathchat
They say 47% of US jobs are at risk of being handled by machines over a decade or two - and we are still teaching algorithms like long division! What's with that? Is that preparing our students for the future? Keep it in perspective people! #ORIGOLearns#mathed#elemmathchat
Very proud of my team for creating ORIGO Insights. It's a new blog that aims to provide new methods, ideas & strategies to support math development of elementary learners. Check it out here: https://t.co/TOqLZaP0yU #ORIGOLearns#iteachmath#mathchat#mathed
FYI: The lateral that @DangeRussWilson threw to @MikeDavisRB in Sunday’s @Seahawks@Eagles game was a legit “Galilean Transformation”. In their reference frame, the ball went backwards. It’s not their fault they ran forward faster than the ball.
