It's time for #MathStratChat!

Rules: post your favorite or a clever solution! It's also fun to comment on other's strategies.

Tell us about your reasoning.

Just got the new grade 1 problem strings book and it’s fabulous! Strings for geometry and measurement too! #cflm ⁦@CFLM_math⁩ https://t.co/vn9ymcPtqs

DIY Rekenrek Ideas for Home and School

To encourage teachers and other adults to use rekenreks, it's important to not only go over ways to use a rekenrek, but also we thought we would make sure everyone has opportunities to have them, whatever the budget.

Oh so beautiful what kindergarteners do in this early data and measurement unit.

Taking the Standards for Mathematical Practice seriously!

FINALLY a true inquiry-based math curriculum that takes the SMP’s seriously!

Contexts for Learning Mathematics (CFLM) is no longer just a supplemental curriculum.

@CFLM_math Love this book…a progression that will lead to automaticity through understanding! It can be done!!!! https://t.co/gLN3p0heGY

[MathRack @MathRack20]

@USMathRecovery Wonderful learning opportunity!!! Check it out!

[MathRack @MathRack20]

The MathRack Clock can be used in multiple grades for duration of time, elapsed time, multiplication, money, fractions and much more! Its design is a unique use of the MathRack's red and white 'beads' representing the duration of minutes and showing fiveness!

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

If you have never done a number string with time on the @mathrack clock, you're missing out!

Check out the awesome Math Rack Clock and our new 1st and 2nd grade units on time at https://t.co/cb9HFSfjkF

All models are not created equal!

Erikson’s foundational understanding that every operation tells a story makes so much sense to kids as Erikson connects text to operations. Join their group and visit their site for a wealth of information for our youngest mathematicians!!! #mathrack20#loveErikson

[Erikson Early Math @eriksonmath]

Just as number sense develops when children are clear that something is being counted, the ability to make sense of number operations depends on the foundational understanding that EVERY OPERATION TELLS A STORY.

This research needs to be prevalent in all we teach… it makes sense…it makes a difference! And all of CFLM units are formatted this way!!! Finally!!

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

All of our units honor Gravemeijer’s research on how kids develop models as tools for thinking.

1. Models first come out of a situation/context.

2. We model students’ thinking over time in the model.

3. Kids use the model to think with (not just told)

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

Kids need to use number lines.

But, if we can't show just them the model and expect they'll use it with understanding, how are they supposed to learn it?

CFLM has shattered this paradox. Check out all the new units that use contexts to generate models at https://t.co/cb9HFSfjkF

[MathRack @MathRack20]

This is so exciting! Everyone sign up for this series and enjoy !!

[Ryan Dent @4ryandent]

How can we take kids strategies and go after the algebra?!

Don't miss this series of podcasts...so rich!

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

We are called to walk the edge, between the structures of mathematics & the development of the child.

We have to understand deeply the development of the mathematics by considering the progression of strategies, the big ideas & emergent models.

[MathRack @MathRack20]

The perfect mathematical tool to promote fluency through understanding is the MathRack 5 and progress to the MathRack 10. They now have the foundation for the MathRack 20! Flexible thinking achieved!!!

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

Hey K-1 Teachers!

Fluency within 5 and 10 is critical!

Don't miss this awesome new book of number strings to support fluency with your young mathematicians at work.

Learn from the best!! Contexts for Learning is engaging and promotes mathematical thinking!!

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

Does your math curriculum support the development of the most important big ideas, strategies and models?

See Cathy build the landscape of multiplication that serves as the backbone of all of our multiplication units!

Have you ever seen Cathy Fosnot talk about the benefits of the Rekenrek (aka @mathrack20)?

https://t.co/OsE7iSch58

[MathRack @MathRack20]

And sharpening the questions leads to thinking mathematically!

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

The purpose of models is not to fit the data, but to sharpen the questions.
