This 🙌❤️

So important for Gr K & 1 kids to subitize numbers to 100. Start with ten frames, then progress to Base 10 blocks and discs. Kids should not be using their fingers to count. Why? There are far better ways to develop Base 10 thinking, important grouping skills, and number sense!

[Greg Tang @gregtangmath]

Big problem? The word "memorize." It does not mean "learn something by rote with no understanding."
Webster: to commit to memory : learn by heart
Do kids need to commit the times tables to memory? If you've taught math in Gr 4 & up, you know the answer!

I love how my fav Greg Tang incorporates critical thinking skills within the IB and 5th grade math standards!! 🤩🤩

[Greg Tang @gregtangmath]

Happy Saturday! Here's a Gr 5 problem for students working with decimals. So many key concepts embedded in this problem. Will kids immediately try to solve the problem, or will they stop to figure out what these concepts are? State testing around the corner. Test prep continues!

Many Plano ISD teachers spent Saturday at the @HuffmanHawksPYP Primary Years Program Round Table on included general, inquiry-based teaching strategies. Participants gained new knowledge, collaborated with colleagues and received new resources for classrooms.
