Are you a math educator in the Los Angeles area? Are you looking to connect with other educators who love talking about math, students’ strategies and open-ended tasks? Join us for our monthly Meet Up. Registration link: luma.com/uom95nv1 #mathsky #edusky #iteachmath
Are you interested in bringing high-quality, student-centered math professional learning to your school community? I’d love to hear from you! These are just some examples of the work we can do together. #mathsky #mathcoach #edusky
I’m excited to share I’ll be presenting at Math in the Sun in Scottsdale, Arizona next week! My session Forever Young will focus on integrating math games into upper elementary grades. Hope to see you there! #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky
I’m presenting at the National CGI Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. My session focuses on equitable, engaging assessment practices that provide actionable data to inform instruction. Will you be there? #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky #cgimath
Join us for our July math educator meet up! Registration link: luma.com/b0dlyugs #iteachmath #mathsky
Are you a math educator living in the LA area? Would you like to connect with other like-minded educators? If so, join us for our second Meet Up on Saturday, May 30th. #mathsky #mathcoach #edusky Link to register: luma.com/jlw9z1eo

A8: Number set choices invite mathematicians to choose which numbers to work with, promoting agency and independence. If they finish solving one number set, they move on to another. For the teacher, number sets allow differentiation within one problem context. #ElemMathChat
A7: Omitting the numbers from a story problem ensures comprehension of the context and problem before solving. This slows mathematicians down and places the focus on understanding and making a plan prior to computing an answer. #ElemMathChat
A6: Launching a story problem with an image visually grounds us all in the same mathematical context and provides multiple entry points to the problem. This benefits students who are learning English and those who benefit from additional reading support. #ElemMathChat
A5: I notice a bake sale with delicious looking treats including carrot cake, lemon bars, scones, and bread loaves. I notice one person taking payment and one person making payment on their phone. #ElemMathChat
A4: The first step is to acknowledge the potential challenges this problem may pose to some students. The next questions will explore some strategies, but for now, what are your thoughts? #ElemMathChat
A3: This problem has several potential roadblocks for mathematicians. The context of a fundraiser may be unfamiliar. This is a multi-step problem which includes subtracting and adding two three-digit numbers with regrouping, which can also be a challenge. #ElemMathChat
A2: Subtract 68 from 437, then add the difference with 437 to get the total raised by the two grades. I would decompose 68 into 37 and 31. 437 - 37 is 400. 400 - 30 is 370 and 370 - 1 is 369. 369 + 437 is 16 + 90 + 700 which is 106 + 700, this equals 806. #ElemMathChat
A1: As teachers, we want students to identify as confident mathematicians who see math in the everyday world around them. We strive to create a lifelong love of mathematics. We want them to be problem solvers and critical thinkers. These are the skills that define career readiness. #ElemMathChat
Join us 4/9/26 at 8 PM CST for #ElemMathChat with Kathy Minas, @themathcollective.bsky.social of The Math Collective! We’ll discuss differentiating instruction through curricular resources to make learning more accessible for all students. #ElemMathChat

Demystifying Assessments is intended for math educators in grades 3 and up as we prepare for high-stakes, end-of-year testing. This is part 1 in a series of videos that highlight some impactful practices from me to you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ6I... #mathcoach #edusky #iteachmath #mathsky
