Loved spending time and collaborating with these great people! @fayleong in Hong Kong! #hkis

A simple problem that gets students make sense of place value and allows them to communicate their reasoning #iteachmath #makingsenseofmathematics

The most rewarding aspect of facilitating a workshop is seeing the tangible impact it has on teachers. Witnessing their excitement and inspiration to shift their approach and make small changes that get students thinking about math. Amazing team of educators @HKIS @fayleong
