I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.
The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.
Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

In lieu of an βicebreakerβ to launch the new school year..think about having each grade or team in your building have time to share, put their accomplishments together, share them with colleagues, students, parents and the community. Would celebrate teacher voice !

Education is not teacher centered or even student centered, but it is relationship centered. Teachers thrive w/ positive admin relationships & students thrive w/ positive teacher relationships. Relationships drive education.

Thank you @gregtangmath for todayβs adding within 100 lesson. I heard 2 really encouraging things from my students during the lesson. βMan, I thought this was going to be hard. This is easy.β and βCan we use our white boards as math tools? This will make the snake so easy!β

I got tons of them. Not random like the ones I see all over. Careful progression of key skills that build from K thru middle school so kids β with steady, strategic, systematic, sensible practice over long period of time β can solve hard problems mentally & without guess & check!

Nothing in math is more important than sense making.
It is an invigorating, self-affirming, and creative process that is also messy, un-grade-able, and doesnβt fit within our conventional units of school time (1 problem, 1 lesson, 1 unit, etc)

Trying out @gregtangmath virtual manipulatives while solving comparing word problems. It was a huge success! They also love seeing their own names in these problems. @RavensNKC #hadtodanceinmath

Most do not teach the third MAKE 10 strategy I showed today. But don't kids need to learn to break BOTH numbers apart? Isn't that the EXACT skill they need for double-digit addition? Programs show all the CRAZY strategies but not the ones kids actually need. Status quo? Say NO!

Thank you @gregtangmath ! We had an amazing 45 minutes with you this morning- making tens to help us add. Look what happened at my Number Talks...MAGIC! @RavensNKC #ThankfulThursday #10isthemostimportantnumber

It's a brand new day! As we move into our next phase of coding/development we want to share our virtual math manipulatives with teachers & their students. I have so many ideas about where I want to take math instruction. This is just the beginning! Free at TangMath.com

A North Kansas City principal just forwarded me this from a grandparent who came to our parent workshop last night. I'm doing 80 Zoom sessions a month to help both subscribing & non-subscribing schools. We are all about common sense strategies that are helpful β not complicated!

Can your 1st graders MAKE 10 all 3 ways? Every kid needs to Make 10 at least 1 way. No IFs, ANDs or BUTs! Our 5-step progression builds their skillset systematically & sensibly with 5 levels of abstraction. Advanced kids? Ask them for ALL 3 ways & to explain their thinking, too!
