Molly Rawding@mollyrawding.bsky.social · 7mo agoAbsolutely love collaborating with teachers to make connections between math and literacy!! So much fun....some planned, some impromtu - all fabulous and so much joy!
Hi Tammy, the Call for Proposals site will open at the end of this month. Please stay on the lookout!
@nctm.org @ncte.org Looking for information regarding the NCTE NCTM joint elementary conference. I have seen the Save the Date promo but not registration or proposals info. Any help is appreciated! @mollyrawding.bsky.social
Join #ElemMathChat 12/4/25 at 8pm CST/9pm EST with @monamath.bsky.social and @middleweb.bsky.social to explore word problems. How do we move past steps so students make sense, reason, and see themselves as mathematicians? Bring ideas and questions. #ElemMathChat

Thanks for joining and math-ing with us tonight for #ElemMathChat! It’s WONDERFUL to connect with YOU! #ElemMathChat @mollyrawding.bsky.social @tmcbliteracy.bsky.social Huge shout out to @mnmmath.bsky.social for organizing!! We appreciate YOU!!!
Great idea for these books to be featured for kids to see that math and literacy go together! We are readers, mathers, thinkers, and tinkers!
Jennifer Lagrange@jjdlagrange.bsky.social · 10mo agoA9 I am helping my school librarian add more mathy books to our collection. He created a special section for them in our library so they are easy to find. Thanks for more great tips! #ElemMathChat
Grateful for this #elemmathchat community! Tucking in tonight with visions of playful and purposeful literacy and math connections dancing in my head!

A9 Bring "Which one doesn't belong?" into phonics play or "Which words go together?" and brining counting collections in for story generation and/or letter/name formation. Also staying connected with all of YOU! #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

I was just gifted Two of Everything at the ATMNE conference 📚#ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social
Melynee Naegele@mnmmath.bsky.social · 10mo agoA6 I literally own 1,000 picture books. In myy catalog books 585-711 can easiy be tied to math! I have several that are explored in the Math by The Book series. I love Amanda Beans Amazing Dream, Gramma's Purse, Balal Makes Daal, Two of Everything, Napping House, The Doorbell Rang #ElemMathChat
A6: Also Carrie Finison has some lovely books with Math Connections... We love this one.... #elemmathchat
Molly Rawding@mollyrawding.bsky.social · 10mo agoQ6: What are some of your favorite picture books that have a mathy connection? Why? #ElemMathChat @mollyrawding.bsky.social @tmcbliteracy.bsky.social
A5: We did frayers a lot. Most of the time on a shared slide so kids could "cheat" and see each other's work. Review I used Gimkit to make it fun. Kids would also create the Review questions so they had to write/punctuate/spell correctly. #ElemMathChat
A6 Lots of good mathy books to learn about here: www.mathicalbooks.org #ElemMathChat
Mathical Books
The Mathical Book Prize is an annual award for fiction and nonfiction books that inspire children to see math in the world around them.

A7: I notice Names and 2 or 3 digit number in a box. Some names have one syllable , some 2 and some 3. I wonder if the letters or syllables in the name add up to the number? #elemmathchat
Tammy McBride@tmcbliteracy.bsky.social · 10mo agoQ7 Let’s Puzzle… Notice? Wonder? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social
A6 And Six Dinner Sid is perfect for exploring multiplying by 6. #elemmathchat
This is such a playful way to notice patterns in words and for access and choice on how to sort! Lots of entry points! #elemmathchat
Jennifer Lagrange@jjdlagrange.bsky.social · 10mo agoOh you just reminded me that when I used to teach 1st, I did a Which One Doesn't Belong routine with 4 words, to notice phonics features, for ex. : see sets seat sheet #ElemMathChat

A6: Math Inspectors Series. I love this because it is a series which can help students see patterns across longer texts AND mystery has an element of noticing/wondering/revising thinking along the way! #ElemMathChat @mollyrawding.bsky.social @tmcbliteracy.bsky.social

Esti-mysteries are such a fabulous use of counting collections....it's a wonderful culmination of counting, organizing, clue creation, suspense and fun!! Three cheers for @stevewyborney.bsky.social and this INCREDIBLE and AMAZING routine that has brought SO much math JOY!! #ElemMathChat
What is the same? What is different? are such great questions to encourage noticing, connecting, comparing... I love hearing kids' ideas around these questions! #ElemMathChat
A4: I used to use pictures to generate 8 parts of speech and writing. Estimysteries pictures, collections/jars could easily be re-used for writing/storytelling #ElemMathChat
@mnmmath.bsky.social Lots of addition (as acorns are gathered) or subtraction (as they are eaten or stolen!) could happen with acorns and The Leaf Thief! #elemmathchat
A5 Routines and structures might include… Morphology and word matrixes www.etymonline.com Word Matrix (NCTE) #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social
We love the Leaf Thief...and now there is one for every season...so many possibilties with this series by Alice Hemming! #elemmathchat
Melynee Naegele@mnmmath.bsky.social · 10mo agoWhen I see these objects I am drawn to the acorns. I wonder how I can use them with the book Leaf Theif while chaneling @sueoconnellmath.bsky.social and find my inner math by the book nerd! #ElemMathChat
Word play time! Q5 What routines do you use to introduce or review math vocabulary? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social
Yes...and notice and wonder for upper case and lower case! What is the same? What is different? #elemmathchat
Jennifer Lagrange@jjdlagrange.bsky.social · 10mo agoA4 Kindergarten students at my school use "loose parts" such as glass beads to form letters of their heart words. They could also count the number of items in each letter or word. #ElemMathChat
