Properly defining fluency, reasoning and problem solving was my favourite part... Some myths dispelled!

Hahaha I can get behind this. I taught myself what a determiner was when I was training. 🫠

Ooooooh I have never heard this take! Something to think about

Nice! I like it in the context of something explorative and with other numbers systems, but I just don't care if they know what L is at 8 years old.

I remember doing a lesson on the history of numbers and it was one of my favourites

I just can't get past teaching it as something there tested on at 8 years old when most of them can't even double a two digit number properly 😂
