As we saw last week, G2 Ss learn people collect data to answer ?s & that answers vary. ๐ฃ In G3, the work is more intentional & Ss take the next step in data reasoning. ๐ Curious what shifts from 2.DL.A.1 to 3.DL.A.1? ๐ฅ Check out today's #MathStandardMonday video. #NJSLS @amtnj

๐ฉ A common misunderstanding? Thinking this standard is ONLY about integers.

Fractions arenโt just parts โ theyโre ๐๐๐๐๐กโ๐ .
And when you see them that wayโฆ equivalence makes perfect sense.

โจ Ever wonder what makes the number line such a powerful tool for understanding fractions?
๐ For today's #MathStandardMonday weโre taking that familiar Grade 2 measurement model and stretching itโliterally โ to fractions.
(And yes, ๐ pizza is involved.)

โจ A #CoachingthatCounts firstโa #MSMath spotlight for #MathStandardMonday: 6.NS.B.3
Often, fluency gets reduced to โก๏ธ "follow the steps."
โ But what if those steps arenโt the most efficient way?
๐ฅ This week, Iโm unpacking what fluency REALLY means.

This week weโre taking place value a step further.
How can the same digit be worth 10ร in one number and 1/10 in another?
The video on 5.NBT.A.1 explains why itโs not about โmoving the decimal pointโ

#MathStandardMondayโConfession: 5.NBT.B.5 is my LEAST favorite fluency standard. Not because multiplying with the standard algorithm is often rushedโthough thatโs trueโbut because this one leaves A LOT open to interpretation. ๐ฅ Check out the video to learn more. #NJSLS @amtnj
