What if we spent the time we use to administer and grade “the mad math minute” to actually sit down with each child FOR a minute so we can listen to their thinking...just a thought. #elemmathchat
What if it turns out that all this "trading" we are making kids do when subtracting actually turns out to be unnecessary and confusing? When subtraction is taught as a progression of skills, trading is indeed unnecessary! Great job Ms. Johnson! #simplerbettermoreintutitive
I'm teaming up with @TracyZager & @stenhousepub to create a fact fluency kit that includes number image strings, contextualized practice, games, and more. Here's a quick video that explains the project. https://t.co/nhGwFIq4Oa #elemmathchat#ITeachMath#mtbos
"Somehow it's O.K. for people to chuckle about not being good at math. Yet if I said, 'I never learned to read,' they'd say I was an illiterate dolt." — @NeilTyson#iteachmath#MTBoS
Everything Is Awesome!! We had a Fabulous C3 meeting at Cimarron! A great day of student engagement, collaboration, and learning (oh, and PIES)! Thank you GPE, HAV, MAC, and JCE! @GPCandI @jhmoreno
Teachers, the new year usually means long nights & weekends, but make sure to block out certain evenings & times on weekend for family, friends, & yourself. If you fatigue early, you will burnout before end of the year. You're a professional, treat yourself like one. Self Care!
I often get asked why don’t you just give them a formula and tell them what to do? That’s like asking an English teacher why don’t you just tell them the end of the story. Math is a story too! Let’s help kids tell the story! #DNAMath
