An interesting situation - My professors back in the day, told me that mathematics education was important because it allowed students to think and learn how to think: Stanford professor keeps fighting to defend rigor in math curricula thecollegefix.com/stanford-profe… via @collegefix

Word problems are a HUGE issue across the grade bands I think that's because we take them out of thinking land when we insist on algorithms Students need the experience of math-ing to be able to think and reason through word problems #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath

If you don't like subtracting mixed numbers, add/subtract the same amount to both numbers to make it easier for you!

Strategies are not models and models are not strategies. They are distinct things with distinct uses. Get clear here: mathisfigureoutable.com/svm #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #MathStratChat

The ladder method for finding GCF and LCM. So cool!

I wish I was taught this way of finding the GCF and LCM when I was in school. It's so much more efficient than factor trees.



This is an engaging way to find GCF. I'm still unpacking the conceptual understanding. Don't want students to just follow a procedure, albeit a fun one!
