Great reflection from one of my Ed Leadership Ss today "This activity reminds me of the quote from section 5 in last nights reading- you must step onto the balcony and see the bigger picture. Then, as leaders think about how you can re-write the narrative." ❤️ This! #MathLeadership

A4 Notice that they are all the SAME QUANTITY... we call these NUMBER STRINGS (strings where you are looking at the SAME quantity in multiple ways or different quantites and looking for the groups in them. These are all about FLEXIBILITY! #ElemMathChat

A3 Even though implied- the`10 NT book was not explicit in stating they MUST be done with a string. SO, Math Strategy Talks (MST) R ALWAYS done with a string! ⭐Mental Math ⭐Student Ideas/strategies ⭐Teacher is facilitator/Recorder ⭐Routine (3-5 times a wk) ⭐Brief (10-15 min) ⭐Fun #ElemMathChat
