An estimate is not merely a “guess.” A reasonable estimate depends upon mathematical understandings of both numerosity and measurement. Explore Estimation While Enjoying a Whopper of a Tale! ow.ly/QVTQ50hbq75

Regardless of how high #preschoolers can rote count, a child’s sense of what those numbers actually mean develops gradually. We call this understanding NUMBER SENSE, and it requires relating numbers to real quantities. More: earlymath.erikson.edu/many-w…

Students in small group writing session using @LincEdhero to reflect on their writing goals. We had active engagement and discussion about their writing goals and students even navigated through the app with the teacher 🌟 @TamaraLPollock @Clapturn

Great article! I wonder how much we really develop “agency” in schools - student, parent, teacher and school based “agency” ? I suspect we talk about it a great deal which is a start. Asking the right questions and ...... listening to the answers.... and acting. Hmmmmm.
