Happy Sunday! Here's a fun puzzle for your A.M. coffee. Can we prepare kids in K-2 for algebra? Get them ready for systems of equations? Variables? Order of operations? Ask them to explain their reasoning and build on what they already know? Progressions!

We are big believers in developing foundational skills โ reasoning, problem-solving, and yes, computational skills, too! We encourage kids to practice in school and at home, and we try to make it engaging and fun. Join the fun! https://t.co/ijYcOreNDm
@howie_hua True! 12 yrs of competing with others to quickly memorize facts and execute procedures=math anxiety. I dreaded college level math until I had the good fortune of finding a professor who had your philosophy. Happy to know you focus on โsense-makingโ with future elem teachers. โญ๏ธ
Regardless of how high #preschoolers can rote count, a childโs sense of what those numbers actually mean develops gradually. We call this understanding NUMBER SENSE, and it requires relating numbers to real quantities.
