2nd grade students @Olney_El were excited to show their strategies for solving a Number Talk! You can tell they enjoyed sharing their strategies with their peers. #LongLiveMath@carnegielearn
Look at all the strategies the second graders @CookWissHSA @CookWissSchool used during a Number Talk this week! This is only the beginning for these kids!
