❤️ it when kinders sort collections by color. It opens doors to different recordings of groups and so many stories like,”If all of the yellow & red bears went on a picnic together,how many bears would be at the picnic?” What story would u pose? Why? #countall #CountingCollections

I LOVE having kids work together to count, organize, record a collection of 1,000 visually. The best part? The conversations… the connections… the relationships…the JOY! #countingcollections (Where is the (100x5)x2 in the paper clip group?) Is 10x10x10 the same as 20 x 50?

Calculating area with Cheez-Its. Can’t beat having a tasty snack while learning! 😋 #ElolfProducesExcellence – at San Antonio, TX

Wow... I didn’t see that coming! Our focus on equality has completely shifted to flexible thinking about composing numbers 🤩 ➡️Equality Game #3 (3 addend, 1 equivalent) ➡️Equality Game #4 (3 addend, many equivalent) (see previous tweet for shared docs for Equality Games #1-4)

Last week I asked about your fav relationships for 9 x 6. Lots of cool responses! Here are the top. My favorite way to help sts develop strategies like this is Problem Strings. What's yours? #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmathchat

Tangrams are our new favorite puzzles! We used them to learn about Chinese culture, and made math connections (polygons, area). I loved hearing that it was “hard” until students gained more practice, confidence and success 🧠 ⚡️ #MsJs2nd #HandsOn

If students don't know a most missed fact like 7 x 8, what is your favorite relationship to nudge them toward? I like 5 x 8 + 2 x 8. Many sts know 5s and can add 40 + 16. What's yours? #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmathchat

Solving story problems and making our own math stories. In the words of these amazing mathematicians.."Math is so much fun!!" Numberless word problems help us figure it out!! @KingstonElem @AVRCE_NS @bstockus

If you're a fan of numberless word problems, then you've got to try slow reveal graphs! Learn more about them from @jennalaib in the latest episode of the Math Teacher Lounge. #ElemMathChat #numberlesswp #MTBoS #iteachmath
**New episode alert** The latest episode of Math Teacher Lounge is here! Tune in to watch Bethany (@lockhartedu) and Dan (@ddmeyer) chat about data science with Math Specialist Jenna Laib (@jennalaib). Visit mathteacherlounge.com to watch along!

I'm a big fan of numberless word problems because they force students to think rather than mindlessly compute. @bstockus shares lots of free problems for elementary teachers here: bstockus.wordpress.com/numbe… #MTBoS #iteachmath

I made a game to practice rounding to the nearest hundred. I made sure to include some numbers where you have to round up to build awareness, for example, that numbers from 350-449 round to 400, not just numbers from 400-449. #tmwyk #ElemMathChat
Daddy: How do you know 134 rounds to 100?
Using @SteveWyborney's Estimation Clipboards to practice estimating. She was so proud of herself today! So far she's learned she has a tendency to underestimate so she's started bumping up her initial estimate to compensate. #tmwyk #ElemMathChat
Me: Yes! I was so close on all my estimates today! Daddy: Estimating is a skill you get better at with practice. You've already practiced for a few days and you're getting better and better. Me: I have to go show Papa!

Learning about the cost to produce an item, sell an item and how to improve profit. Who knew a virtual lemonade 🍋 🥤 stand could be so fun & engaging?! #MsJs2nd #RealMath
