Interesting article.

FUN!

These flash cards with the visual representation are great for helping 1st and 2nd graders make connections to basic fact strategies.

If you use numberless word problems, check out this fascinating new research article. I def see how using #numberlesswp intentionally attempts to shift Ss' focus toward more relational than instrumental thinking and tamps down on the "compulsion to calculate." #ElemMathChat

If you teach math, this might be the next book for your professional library.

Names matter!

We want you to share a photo of something you received at CFS, Summer PD, or just a great idea you tried in your classroom. We will draw 2 names in elementary and 2 in secondary from the posts at the end of the six weeks for $25 Target gift cards. Include #itriedit #lisdmath

The Math Department is ready for SLI #lisdsli #lubbockisd

@ScogginKristi @nancy_lead4ward @HomeDepot @HoneyElementary @lead4ward This is awesome! Can’t wait to hear all the details. It’s great to see you implementing your learning and we are excited for you to share it this summer!

Thank you @nancy_lead4ward for the great numeracy "building a house" lesson. We began it in first grade today (wearing our @HomeDepot aprons) as a review @HoneyElementary I am so excited to continue working on it this week. @lead4ward #hbears1718

Such powerful reasoning! twitter.com/klkratina1/sta…

Making #STAAR jenga to help review key concepts and academic vocabulary. Can't wait to play!! #hbears1718 @HoneyElementary @Elar_LubbockISD

@RebeccaMeeks17 @Elar_LubbockISD @HoneyElementary I love this idea! I’m going to share it with our math teachers!

Would you like to know what we think are the big ideas in all of K-8? This is from our K-8 book series, gr 4 is out, 3 is next. You can read more about it here: youcubed.org/resource/short… Teachers who plan 4 big ideas are more successful than those who teach through boring methods!

Why notice and wonder about student work? Take a look: #elemmathchat

A4: We use the ORIGO fact strategies. Here are 1-minute videos that explain the ones for mult/div. #ElemMathChat youtube.com/watch?v=yuLLK4…

Bar models would be perfect in the Operations SNAP draw box. Easy visual representations! #sd33learns #mathSNAP33 m.youtube.com/watch?feature=…

Bar models: such a clear and simple visual representation. Easy for our Ss draw on the Operations SNAP #sd33learns #mathSNAP33 #keepitsimple
