Such a beautiful example of how to engage students in #countingcollections in grades 2-5. If your students struggle with place value understanding, do yourself a favor and take this for a test drive👇����👇

Key to great computational skills? Great reasoning & number sense! Crazy when "experts" say computation doesn't matter but problem-solving does. Impossible to separate the 2. Being good at one is key to being good at the other. Use REASONING to solve the puzzles below. Enjoy!

[Greg Tang @gregtangmath]

Regrouping is all about shifting 10s, not trading 10s. It's a Gr 1 skill that kids then use in Gr 2 to subtract with regrouping and in Gr 3 to divide with regrouping. When can shifting actually start? In K, to learn all the combinations that make 10!

[Greg Tang @gregtangmath]

In every grade, there are KEY skills, strategies & standards that kids have to master. In K, knowing combinations that make 10 is critical. Should kids be counting to find the parts & total? Not by this time of the year. Using the right progression of models is also SO important!

@liljalions inspired by some amazing 4th graders that chose to share their fraction learning. @TeamTsaco

[Molly Rawding @RawdingMolly]

So much fun teaching 1st graders to play Pig today! The cheers, the groans, the connections, the talk about numbers! Such #MathJoy!

@TeamTsaco This week I was inspired by some amazing fourth graders that chose to showcase their fraction learning for all the school too see. ❤️

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

Are your third and fourth graders working with area and perimeter? They'll find this @openmiddle problem extra challenging! https://t.co/WDm91GQ8F5 #iteachmath

Greg Jr & I spend almost every waking minute on our Fractions curriculum. Our Unit Assessments don't look like any other program. Here we're assessing Fraction Comparison. How many ways can you compare the 2 fractions below without making thirds into ninths? Great problem for PD!

[Greg Tang @gregtangmath]

One of our districts just requested a STUDENT LESSON for their Kinders on teen numbers. So we're inviting EVERYONE to join the learning & fun – including Grade 1. This is a key pre-requisite skill for the Make 10 addition & subtraction strategies!

GROUPING LIZARDS

Split the lizards up into three groups.
How many are in each group?

We're launching our free PreK-5 Virtual Math PLC for educators with our moderators @Debpeart1 and @bbrady_brady. This is open to everyone and you can attend the live sessions or just receive the recordings and materials. Register here: https://t.co/1iECwANKtf #MtHolyokeMath

Love working with all your kids. Next time is JAN 18 & 19. I LOVE teaching kids the hard topics that not everyone likes to teach – fractions, word problems, measurement, data, geometry. Our Jan-Feb-Mar lessons will help get your kids ready for state testing I hope gets cancelled!

Splat!

There are a total of 14 dots. The same number of dots are under each splat.
How many dots are under each splat?

I'm loving the fun elementary 3-act tasks that @kristenmacosta shares at https://t.co/0LrBp17wdG. Take a few minutes and check them out. #iteachmath #MTBoSkristenmacosta

[Greg Tang @gregtangmath]

We have completely re-coded our word problem generators over the holidays! Join us Jan 15 as we explore learning & story problems for K-2. Word problems are a key component of a great math program. Building meaningful progressions starting in K is the key!

20,713 students joined me live for BINGO yesterday!

Join us for 6 STUDENT LESSONS on Dec 10th, and Tangy JEOPARDY on Dec 16th.

Together, let's spread a little MATH JOY. 'Tis the season!

How do we help students develop a deep understanding of math concepts we teach? @SarahBent86 and I are leading a free session next week to dig into these ideas and we'd love for you to join us: #iteachmath #MTBoS #MtHolyokeMath Register here: https://t.co/ybsJBSX4PP
