We're working around the clock to bring our curriculum to the next level. Can we make it as easy to use as it is effective? Can we streamline your experience using it the way we've streamlined the teaching & learning of math? We're betting on it. BIG changes are coming soon!
Join us for our 11th SAT A.M. Math Meetup! Like what you see? Join us in Kansas City on July 14-15 for 2 full days of in-person, hands-on learning & exploration. Save the date for our 1st Annual Fresh Thinking Math Conference. Details next week!

Happy Valentine's Day!
We have challenging & fun pictarithms for Grades K-6, plus the Bonus puzzle below.
How do you "suppose" a 1st grader could solve this problem? (hint, hint)
Is "supposition" a viable strategy before using a bar model or algebra?

Only 3 more days to solve all of our Valentine's Pictarithms! Key is to reason thru the early-grade puzzles like Gr 2 on the left, then see the connection to Gr 3 on the right. No algebraic equations or guess & check needed. Just mental math. Enjoy! https://t.co/6054c9NSYC
How will middle school & high-flying 5th graders solve this one? With practice, it's another fun mental math problem that's part of the K-6 progression of pictarithms. Kids stumped? Ask them to solve the Gr 4 & 5 puzzles first!
Valentine's Day Pictarithms are up! Gr K-6 Puzzles. Develop great problem-solving, arithmetic, algebraic, and mental-math skills, all at the same time. Try a Gr 5 puzzle below. Enjoy!

The standards say this puzzle is Gr 1.
Do you see addition? Subtraction? Multiplication? Division? Fractions? Proportional reasoning? Algebraic thinking? All of the above?
Is the final answer 7 hearts? Or 14? Fun for all ages, including adults!
TJ is posting our Valentine's Day pictarithms tonight. They're great for hallway puzzles, enrichment, group work, and plain old fun.
Will your kids use reasoning? Bar models? Guess & check? Algebraic equations? Mental math?
Do the equations "talk" to you? What do they say?
Enjoy!
Looking for some Super Bowl FUN? Try one of my K-5 Super Bowl Pictarithms! I wrote a puzzle for each grade level. What does LIX mean? Curious kids can figure it out. Gr K & 4 are below. Enjoy!

Do your students know Roman Numerals? Not sure if kids still learn them anymore. Just wrote a few K-5 pictarithms to teach them some of the symbols. Got to get ready for the Super Bowl!

We also have a PreK-5 curriculum that teaches every standard in every grade level. For every concept, we offer a streamlined & strategic progression of concrete, pictorial, and abstract models. Let us know if you need more information. We are here to help! https://t.co/wj2j2z3Uoc
