208 is my favorite number today. That’s the number of educators who joined my session at the @buildmathminds.bsky.social #virtualmathsummit. Many ideas about using photos/images in your classroom. #elemmath #mtbos #iteachmath

K-5 Teachers, or anyone who teaches in a self-contained classroom: we know teaching ALL the subjects is a monumental task. What are some ways you wish a math coach could support you? (can be related to content, standards, pedagogy, resources, anything!) #ITeachMath #EduSky #ElemMath

Teachers got asked to write a definition of number sense. This was one of their answers. (I can't make this up). #numbersense #elemmathchat #elemmath #iteachmath #mtbos🤪

I want to make "Math Mistakes" a monthly theme in the Math Corner. Help me brainstorm activities that K-4 students could engage in independently.

My Favorite No?

Memorization isn't a "dirty word"; it’s an equity tool.
When basic facts are automatic, the brain is finally free to be creative with the concepts. Don't be afraid to slow down and build the progression from Concrete to Abstract.

This is why we teach facts through relationships and strategies, not speed drills. One retrieval route is fragile. Multiple routes are durable. Strategy builds networks. Networks build mathematicians.#mathfacts #factfluency #mathfluency #elemmath #mathchat #teacherpd #mathleadership

I’m planning a family math night and am looking for a short video clip to show parents that gets at the importance of visual models and manipulatives. Any suggestions?

No on-camera appearance (thanks, norovirus! 🤢), but here’s the tip:

Most K-5 curricula use the #5Practices, but bullet points 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵.
