This session was awesome! I love how @alisonmellomath explained how tricks place a lot more “cognitive load”on our kids.🙌🏼@BuildMathMinds

Day 1 of the @BuildMathMinds Summit is in the books! So many great sessions, great people, and great learning!
Let's do it all again tomorrow! Join me at 11:00 Eastern as we discuss ways to upgrade our instruction by replacing tricks with thinking. Hope to see you there! 😀👇

Today, my 5th graders explored finding the GCF using the Euclidean algorithm (as shown by the fabulous @howie_hua ) with both tactile & pen/paper versions. So empowering!🤩🎉@hickoryschools #numbersense #greatestcommonfactor #MTBoS

Which strategies do you think students should develop?
Why?

We all know how difficult X facts can be for some…this is cool!

I don’t promote too many computer math games - too much emphasis on speed, rote memory, and step repeating.
But this.
This is GOOD stuff.
