Curriculum Institute day 1 began with beautiful reflection on how small shifts have made a big impact on our mathematicians this year. Thank you @Wipebook for helping us capture our thoughts and set new goals.

We're not the only ones excited about the Curriculum Blueprint! Last night at the @gcasd_k12 School Board Meeting, the curriculum team shared their progress. Watch: hubs.li/Q018GWXt0. Can you hear the enthusiasm? #collaboration #curriculum hubs.li/Q018GVb40

K Standards require kids to count to 100. But only have to write numbers to 20 and compare numbers to 10. So they don't have to have ANY understanding of numbers above 20. But they still have to recite the names of the numbers 21-100 in order. That's 153 words in a row. Why?

Happy Monday! Taught 6 student lessons today. I'm thinking to myself, with all the schools struggling to stay open, I'd love to make them available to everyone.
Join a recorded lesson with your students any time this Friday. They won't know it's not live! TangMath.com/UP

I think that we spend too much time teaching skills that are instantly useless because of technology. I wonder what might happen if we still taught number sense but didn't teach the procedures that a calculator can do. bit.ly/2BCi4HR #iteachmath

1 of 3 easy moves to build thinking classrooms. The others? Implement a thinking task in the first 5 minutes of class & vertical work surfaces around the room. Any grade level can do this and the results are eye opening.

These would make great mathematical thinking stacks
Looking to get kids arguing about math? Check out wouldyourathermath.com from John Stevens. Lots of great "Would you rather..." scenarios that require math to win the argument.

If you're an elem teacher, you'll love this video from @gfletchy where he breaks down how students learn about + and -.

I prefer “mimickers.” Our kids mimic us giving everyone a false sense that we are growing our mathematicians.
This video from @gfletchy makes me realize that I never REALLY understood division as a kid. I was just a good robot.
