I like this one a lot! 😊
One of these is definitely on my wish list!
OPINION: A big reason why students with math anxiety underperform — they just don’t do enough math

I used to have my classes make math review board games. They make up the theme, rules, design, and some way of having players review math problems from the year. Usually using construction paper or big pieces of butcher paper.
Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Just watched a fantastic webinar from @mathematize4all.bsky.social! She mentioned at the end the metaphor of some concepts being “load-bearing walls”. I’ll be thinking about this more! Such a powerful idea. What foundations need to be strong to hold up the rest of the math building?
Love the egg crates for organizing! 🙌🏻
If you like tapas and Spanish food, Triana in Nob Hill is pretty outstanding. Great wine, sangria, food, and service.
Great counting collections idea for upper grades! #iTeachMath
Number talks, concrete models, multiple strategies - this is what works! #iTeachMath
Albuquerque is like that. We live in the foothills and it can be snowing but “in town” 5 miles away or on the west side, nada. There’s also a 1000 ft elevation drop between here and there, so that makes a difference!
These are all great and easy ideas! #iTeachMath
Let's talk Geometry and Measurement! #iTeachMath
A turquoise background with blue words saying March Newsletter and Patreon.com/k5mathcoach, and purple letter saying join for free. A screenshot of K-5 Math Coaching March newsletter with a teaching tip about a geometry and measurement photo walk.
Struggling to fit in Geometry and Measurement standards? Feel like you always cram those in at the end of the year? I’ve got some ideas for you! Join for free to check out the newsletter on Patreon.com/k5mathcoach and learn how to integrate G and MD standards all year long!
Hard to choose, but I would probably say Notice and Wonder. That seems to be the one I fall back on, even with other resources like WODB, Slow Reveal, Same but Different. It seems to allow for more open responses and can get to patterns and structure as well.
Hi! 👋🏻 Love your math videos and really appreciate you explaining the concepts behind the algorithms for everyone!

Agreed! That’s always a struggle with learning intentions and success criteria in math. We don’t want to take away the discovery or give step by step instructions. This post is a great way to frame objectives for teachers!
Blue, yellow, and white flyer about Personalized K-5 Math Coaching on Patreon, supporting anyone who wants to learn more about math content and K-5 math teaching. There are pictures of cut brownies in an array, student math work, the word math spelled out in scrabble tiles, and math tools.
I'm hoping to build a K-5 math community on Patreon to support teachers, coaches, admin, and parents. Join for a free monthly newsletter and check out some other subscription options while you're there! patreon.com/K5mathcoach #ITeachMath
Also in cooking and baking, maybe a precision estimate works pretty well with spices. A little more or less won’t usually make or break the dish like changing other ingredients might.
Precision is very important for medication doses, but not necessarily for food portions. A handful of chips is fine, but a handful of pills is not ok.
Another way to think about the "greater than" and "less than" signs without thinking about alligators

And to echo others, teachers and leaders, repeat this until it sticks:
You know NO undocumented people.
NOT families, NOT children, NOT anyone.
You DO NOT suspect anyone is.
You have NO information otherwise.
Silence is golden. Move on.
I prefer 3 Reads. It think it helps them make meaning of the action of the problem rather than just go through a series of rote steps. I’ve seen it work well in K-8!
K-5 Teachers, or anyone who teaches in a self-contained classroom: we know teaching ALL the subjects is a monumental task. What are some ways you wish a math coach could support you? (can be related to content, standards, pedagogy, resources, anything!) #ITeachMath #EduSky #ElemMath
I will absolutely recommend it to them! Sending the link to the principal now. Thanks for sharing!
I’m working with a school that’s implementing Clothesline Math K-5. They are loving the student thinking and talking and discoveries. They really appreciate your resources! #ITeachMath
For all the fans of dot talks, number talk images, and counting collections, this looks like so much fun (and a great way to spark math discussions)! #ITeachMath
