Resharing this video just in case someone wants to know how to divide with this "new" way
Referring some neighborhood parents to @howie_hua ‘s division by partial quotients video when they text me. Thank you Howie! tiktok.com/t/ZT8v1yW5Y/

This session was awesome! I love how @alisonmellomath explained how tricks place a lot more “cognitive load”on our kids.🙌🏼@BuildMathMinds
Day 1 of the @BuildMathMinds Summit is in the books! So many great sessions, great people, and great learning! Let's do it all again tomorrow! Join me at 11:00 Eastern as we discuss ways to upgrade our instruction by replacing tricks with thinking. Hope to see you there! 😀👇

Today, my 5th graders explored finding the GCF using the Euclidean algorithm (as shown by the fabulous @howie_hua ) with both tactile & pen/paper versions. So empowering!🤩🎉@hickoryschools #numbersense #greatestcommonfactor #MTBoS

My kids had so much fun exploring this today!
I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school

I love the “Operator with Scaling”!

We all know how difficult X facts can be for some…this is cool!
I don’t promote too many computer math games - too much emphasis on speed, rote memory, and step repeating. But this. This is GOOD stuff. #ITeachMath #MTBoS #MathIsFigureoutable
