Do you love launching K-5 math lessons with a story? Math by the Book has lessons, problems, prompts, & practice tasks for the math you teach. Generate excitement, nurture curiosity, deepen math understanding as you teach thru a story context. For more: www.heinemann.com/mathbythebook/ #heinemann

Had such a great time at St. Patrick’s in Norfolk! After a year of Math Workshop, teachers reflected, refined, and connected their work to research. Teachers reported more student participation than ever. That’s the impact of strong instruction! Interested in a visit? jennifer.lempp@mathworkshop.net

Looking for engaging ways to help K-5 students prepare for annual testing? Try Navigating Numeracy Centers! Interactive centers & games that zero in on critical grade-level skills. A perfect way to revisit a year of math skills! #hand2mind Find out more at: www.hand2mind.com/supplemental...

Let's talk about culture in schools!!!! Courtney Flessner joins us for this conversation on Wed. 2/25 at 7 PM EST www.facebook.com/math4allshow or tinyurl.com/5hdrd5zd @mollyvokey.bsky.social @heidisabnani.bsky.social #iteachmath #iteachmaths #math4all

A lovely variation of a growing patterns activity from @mikewiernicki.bsky.social. What if we give students an image of Stage 1 (instead of 1-3) & ask, "How might it grow?" B/c they create the pattern, students have "a real 'need' to know how to describe it."

Open Patterns

When we teach students about patterns, we’re really teaching them how to begin to think algebraically. This is especially true when we use Growing Patterns or Visual Patterns from Fawn Nguyen…

Hi Friends! @rob-baier.bsky.social & I are doing a webinar with hand2mind tommorrow (Tuesday). Join us for: The Power of Argumentation! Date/Time: Tuesday, February 17 from 4-5pm CST (5-6pm Eastern) Register here: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/172...

Is this equation true or false? How do you know? Can you justify it WITHOUT calculating either side? The Math Routine Collaborative meets TOMORROW, 2/15! Register at strongermath.com/mrc @alisonmellomath.bsky.social @mathillustrated.bsky.social @mfannie.bsky.social and I will be there! Will you?

This is a wonderful teaching resource shared by kimrimbey.bsky.social Thanks for sharing, Kim!

The key words in @mfannie.bsky.social 's last poast were "once they understand them." How do we develop that understanding??? Here's a free resource that many teachers and leaders find useful: Math Power (free PDF): tinyurl.com/5xknefzf #ElemMathChat

Join #ElemMathChat on 2/5/25 at 8 pm CST / 9 pm EST with Kim Rimbey @kimrimbey.bsky.social We will explore Seeing the Math You Teach and how strong visuals help students truly see and understand the math. Because when YOU see it, THEY do too. #ITeachMath #MTBoS #ElemMathChat

So many serious and more important things going on, but our bit of math and art silliness, AL, Logical, a mathy graphic novel goes live on Kickstarter on Wednesday. If you can help us spread the word then, we'd love it. #mathart #mathstory

Good night, everyone! Stay warm! #elemmathchat

A9 I love those types of questions, too. What do you know now? What do you still have questions about? What was easy or hard about this task (that can be eye-opening)! #elemmathchat

Ryan Flessner@ryanflessner.bsky.social · 7mo ago

A9: I love answers kids give to questions like: What made you feel confident/powerful today? What was frustrating? What’s one thing you learned? Who taught you something important today? What are you wondering about the math? Or - just tell me what you’re thinking about math today! #elemmathchat

#elemmathchat That is the quickest hour ever!!! Thanks for joining. Wish we had more time to chat.

Thanks so much for joining #elemmathchat this evening! I appreciate you sharing your ideas! FYI - Many of the tasks I shared come from Navigating Numeracy Learning Progression Centers (hand2mind). If you want to find out more, visit my Math in Practice/Sue O'Connell Facebook group.

A9 I am a big fan of having kids write summaries and reflections. We learn when we reflect on what we've done. #elemmathchat

Sue O'Connell@sueoconnellmath.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Q9 How might written reflections deepen learning? What would you have students record? Do you do this? If so, share your experiences. #elemmathchat

A8 A centers tip: to do a thorough introduction before sending kids to centers otherwide there's too much off-task behavior and kids not doing what you intended. Role play what they should do. #elemmathchat

Q8 Centers can be a great way to organize interactive practice tasks. What tips do you have for teachers who want to introduce math centers? #elemmathchat

Q7 Is it important for students to have opportunities to practice the current skill and to revisit previously-taught skills? How do you achieve that balance in your practice tasks? #elemmathchat

A5 Strike Out is one of my favorite games for rounding. It offers a visual model (number line) to support thinking, and once students have crossed out some of the balls they really have to consider what 3-digit number to create with their rolls. Requires and develops number sense! #elemmathchat

Q6 How might you modify this task for different levels of learners? #elemmathchat

A4 I see both as valuable in different ways. The grid is about understand the multiplication by drawing models. If they don't know the facts, they can solve them with the models. The bingo game is about fluency through repetition. Both understanding and fluency are important. #elemmathchat

Q5 What is the goal of the worksheet? What is the goal of the game? What features in the game might help develop conceptual understanding or challenge students' thinking? #elemmathchat

Q4 Both of these practice tasks focus on fact fluency. How are they alike and different? #elemmathchat

A3 And it's okay for kids to explore for practice. Often they n eed more time to explore, model, talk... It doesn't have to be about an answer. #elemmathchat

A3 The layout alone makes this so much better. It gives the message, here is a place for you to figure out the math however you need to- draw a picture, make an array........ plus the rolling of the dice - the movement and time allowed makes this much more inviting and engaging! #ElemMathChat
