How would you calculate 75 × 28?

Traditional column, grid method, or is there a more efficient way?

Printable bar models. Super simple to use, great for building fluency.

I'll often set the whole to 180 (like in the screenshot) before starting work on angles.

“Math has always been a core part of science, especially in high school chemistry and physics—so much so that many studies have found a correlation between students’ high school math abilities and their performance in college science classes.” https://t.co/OB7N0bMVMA

How would you find the 100th term of the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,...?

One of my students showed me a strategy I will never forget.

A Teaching Question:
In each of these standard (U.S.) algorithms there is a 4 with a little 1 attached to it. Does the 1 mean the same thing in each case? How do students differentiate the different meanings/uses of that superscript?

[Jonathan Hall @StudyMaths]

Why is the sum of consectutive odd numbers (starting from 1) always a square?

Simple to show using counters.

📊 Nat’l NAEP results show a 3-point drop in math.

But there’s reason for hope: In Los Angeles, for example, where IM® Math was implemented with integrity, students improved at rates 2.5 times the state average.
