Pumpkin bread making day means all the arrays with my 3rd grader. He said, “we can do a 5 by 2, wait no, there are 12. We can make it a 6 by 2.”
Asked him, any other ways? Here are a couple examples. Trying out 18 next!

ALL students deserve the opportunity to be curious & engage in math that involves sense-making, instead of just being told what & how to do math.

Thank you @_CrystalMWatson & your “babies” ❤️ for the perfect closing to #NCTM23. “We have to be in community together to make impact”🔹 “Confusion is not a bad thing, if they feel supported”🔹
“How might you be perpetuating the lack of belonging in your classroom?”
🔹”When we don’t consolidate the lesson, when we don’t bring order to the chaos, the ideas/emergent thoughts, float away” 🔹”We’re after transfer of collective knowing & doing to individual knowing & doing” @pgliljedahl#NCTM23
Always enjoy learning from @gfletchy & appreciate all of the work he has done in the area of mathematical fluency. “Listening to kids (share their thinking)is greater than listening for answers”. #NCTM23
A little #multiplicationbyheart practice on this rainy day thanks to the creative mind of @MathforLove . This soon-to-be 3rd grader is loving the chance to problem-solve with new facts. 💛
Educators can take a note from this exchange. This brother is schooling the reporter. We have to reframe failure as learning opportunity. What did we do or not do. We need to help Ss use errors as information and learn to "fail fast". Thanks @selmekki for sharing this.
Anyone who asked this kid what he wanted for his birthday heard the same thing… “Giannis stuff” (@Giannis_An34 , @Bucks ) 💚. He is having the best day ever! Happy birthday, buddy!!
