A Stanford professor says counting on your fingers is “critical” to understanding math — Quartz. Yep! qz.com/668828/a-stanf…

If you're an elementary teacher looking for a free virtual math conference this summer, check out the Build Math Minds Virtual Summit with all of these speakers. It starts 8/2 with @sheldoneakins and ends 8/5. bit.ly/vms-2020 #buildmathminds20 #MTBoS #iteachmath

I have a new website! First post - Students's Ideas at the Center Part 1: Knowledge is Connected berkeleyeverett.com/pedagogy/stude… Let me know what you think! #mtbos #iteachmath

When we hit that wall, sometimes courage looks like scaling it or breaking through it. AND, sometimes courage is building a fort against the wall and taking a nap. Hard days are real because this is hard. Stay awkward, kind and brave enough to rest and feel, ❤️👊❤️, BB

Another day of Math PD in the books! Thank you to @BaileyJodie & @betsynlong for such a fabulous day of learning! @Brittonbobcats #teacherlife #lifelonglearning

@hayes_melisa @CathyMere I’m intrigued about the glass slipper with the red no symbol on it. It’s free! Wow! I think I’m going to have to find a way to attend.

Why do teachers see vastly different results with the same activity? Think about it...@ddmeyer #NCTMannual

“You are not done with a problem when you find the answer. You are done when you have completely pulled the problem apart.” @MFAnnie

Many Ss struggle to solve the first equation... why? “You’re not supposed to think about it, you’re supposed to just do it” @MFAnnie #NCTMannual

“An estimate is a strategic choice of a number.” @HCSDElemMath @gfletchy
