Let the kids build some intuition before you “teach” them anything. Pretty please. #ElemMathChat

What do you think makes most sense to a 7 year old? Q: how many sides does a circle have? #iteachmath #mtbos #tmwyk
25% Circle = zero sides
34% Circle = one side
19% Circle = infinite sides
23% Let me see results

.@Fractiontalks #fractiontalks Hundreds of options where that came from.
A neat puzzle- 1. Shade any 2 sections 2. What fraction of the square is shaded? 3. What other fractions are possible? Impossible? This puzzle kicked off discussions at an online Maths Teacher Circles session.

Students rarely spend time with regards to the relationship of numbers, and general truths about them being odd/even. Strengthening this early on supports future precision/interest in arithmetic.
