I'm a homeschooling mom and math tutor. Attempting to solve our math problem, I found Cuisenaire and Gattegno. Been writing about it since.

@berniewestacott @maswhittaker @UKMT This was interesting. I found the patterns in the first 2-digit number to find the rest. Carried that pattern to find the 3 digit number. It didn't work as I expected. But the correct solution was easily discovered in patterns in the wrong solutions. 20 minutes well spent.

It’s the natural, no-stress way to build our children’s understanding and confidence.

@hulsey_ryan @RichardAngwin @BernieSanders It's worse than that. There is no Social Security fund. The fund is filled with IOU's from congress. There is no money there.

@asap_cael @mugsyjeans Thank-you for taking care of this.

@Bird09637350 @MakeTexasBlue22 @Zoeysmom12 If you are under 60 & thought you'd actually get SS you are foolish. I've known since HS that SS was a slush fund for congress. There is no money there - it's a lie. You paid in & congress took it. We are broke - very broke. Taxing billionaires won't save us. We voted for it.

@BenSharf @mugsyjeans Unfortunately @mugsyjeans customer service is terrible. You can't call them and they don't respond to emails. Maybe someone @mugsyjeans will see this and respond.

[Sonya Post @NoMathFears]

@mugsyjeans Hey @mugsyjeans! I've been trying to contact you about an expedited shipped order that I placed a week ago. It still hasn't shipped. There is no customer service. No answer to emails, no reply on FB. It's too bad your customer service is terrible. We like the pants.

@alter696yaw @realMWO @TheFungi669 That's exactly the same argument southern slave holders used. Who's gonna pick our cotton? Not gonna be white folks. At least with illegals, we don't have to feed or cloth 'em - that comes out of their cheap wages. See how we're not racist at all. Way better than slaveholders.

@toobaffled This should be community noted. It is misleading & the website mentions nothing about waves of death. People, do your research.

@badd_blondie @drawandstrike I didn't vote for president & there are lots of folks like me. We think they were both terrible. Likely rigged on both sides. 🤣😂🤣

@Savvas98374297 @BarbaraOneillAU There is more to this. This article is well cited. https://t.co/aSNKJ6RMNY

Math gives children the chance to grapple directly with ideas and learn how to justify their reasoning.

@hpicciotto @KarenCampe @MrValencia24 @NumberHive @letsplaymath @JSchwartz10a @MrJames_MH This makes it much easier to intuit. Thank-you. I use the 100 flat from the base ten blocks sets. The marks really do influence your thinking.

@hpicciotto @KarenCampe @MrValencia24 @NumberHive @letsplaymath @JSchwartz10a @MrJames_MH I see what you are saying. I assumed that flat is 100 & orange rods are 10. I see the multiplying of fractions connection. I was never sure what to do with that '100'. The model is more than 100 so it wasn't really a percent.

[Sonya Post @NoMathFears]

@KarenCampe @MrValencia24 @hpicciotto @NumberHive @letsplaymath @JSchwartz10a @MrJames_MH This isn't exactly the area model, but more uses a rectangle as a model & works best with rods.

[Sonya Post @NoMathFears]

@KarenCampe @MrValencia24 @hpicciotto @NumberHive @letsplaymath @JSchwartz10a @MrJames_MH You are welcome. I've had a blog post on the area model sitting in my drafts folder for months. Haven't finished it. Now I can just link to yours. The only thing you missed is that with c-rods/base ten blocks, you can also do basic percentages.
