What an amazing day with the brilliant educators of Madison County diving into choral counting and counting collections for upper elementary! 🎶🔢
So much math joy & collaboration.
Because when it comes to learning...every count counts!

Shoutout to an incredible coaching lab experience! 🤩
We dove into partial quotient models, scaffolded academic needs of individual learners, and integrated authentic computer science with input/output tables!

My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

The first session in the Math Learning Lab took place today at Lakewood! This will be a place for teachers to be a learner of standards & manipulatives! Their math coach is amazing and leading the charge! 💙🦁💙

Time to get this coaching cycle started! These teachers sorted student work based on a rubric and are making next steps for Tier 1 based on strategies! 👏🏻
Thank you @dalehancock from @ALSDEOSI for being a think partner @GoLakewoodLions!

An eager student not wanting math to end! Fifth graders were rocking identifying patterns and making generalizations today in a decimal choral count!

After intentionally planning number talks with every grade level, building base math coach at @GoLakewoodLions is on a co-teaching number talk tour with these dynamic educators! Keep rocking it, Mrs. Jones! 🎸🤘

From multiplicative counting collections in a Follow-Up training @AmstiUAH to introducing counting collections in her classroom, Mrs. Baker @McDonnellEleme2 is engaging students to make additive and multiplicative connections! 🎉

Today, this mathematician told me, “It’s simple math.” What a shining moment @McDonnellEleme2 when a student beams with joy to share their thinking! Before I knew it, he walked up in the front of the classroom smiling no ear to ear!

Computational thinking at its best!!! Way to go, Endeavor Elementary! @AMSTI4all @AmstiUAH

[Leah Leonard @Lleah1417]

I love puzzles 🧩 and this number sense routine “Mobile Math” was such a fun puzzle to solve for these 5th graders! Mrs. Bender and Mrs. Xinos did an awesome job having students defending their thinking as they were problem solving!💭 🤗 @AmstiUAH @anniott @CarriePlank1

[Rochelle Cantrell @rtc0016]

What a fabulous day for a follow-up content session! We dove into…contexts that elicit different models, multiplicative counting collections, numberless story problems, making connections to place value division strategies, & analyzed/sorted/sequenced student work! 🤩

Coaching Academy 3 is a WRAP @AmstiUAH!
We’ve explored authentic integration of DLCS in mathematics, standards-based unit planning & data protocols! Together, they are elevating student success alongside teachers and fostering a love for math!

Summer training put into action! 🎯
Making sense of the REAL multiplication chart and its impact of two dimensions on the product! Visualizing the product is helping build fluency in (X) facts! Shoutout to Courtney Curl in @HSVk12! 🤩👏🏻

Thank you to all the teachers who participated in this training with us! We’re all learning together each and every day! We can always grow more by taking the time to discuss the components of our “Conceptual Framework” and understand the importance of the connections they share!
