I’m inspired to survey the families who attend my math workshops this year - in the past my teachers have surveyed the kids about their attitudes about math and their growth mindset. #elemmathchat

I am a math specialist in Atlanta. I am always learning more about students who struggle and how to support them. I also love hosting family math workshops. #ElemMathChat

I feel so silly that I just learned that opposite sides of a six-sides die add up to 7! Thanks to Juanita Copley for letting me in on the big secret. 🙏 🎲🤦 #ITeachMath #ElemMathChat

My students adore Struggly and I feel good about offering it to them as they engage in productive struggle while developing deeper understandings and essential skills. Feel free to give it a try! #growthmindset #ElemMathChat #ITeachMath #MTBoS

I’ve been having so much fun chatting with teachers at the Struggly booth! We have been discovering new tasks and having a blast playing and connecting. #NCTMKC25

At #NCTMKC25 Come by and play with Struggly! #ElemMathChat

@saravanderwerf.bsky.social Your recent videos on YouTube are amazing! Thank you so much! I was looking for more information about 3 Reads and hit the jackpot. 😃

Just wondering, is subitizing:math as phonemic or phonological awareness:reading? Or is that way too simplistic? #ElemMathChat #ITeachMath #MTBOS

@fawnnguyen.bsky.social does this work for you? docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Happy Thanksgiving #ElemMathChat

#ElemMathChat Ok, so now my Deck Blue is functioning!

Come join #ElemMathChat from 8-9 CST on Thursdays! Our next chat is on 12/5 with @sneffleupagus.bsky.social leading!

A6 At my school we don't have workstations per se but have a slew of extra activities that complement the core lessons such as games. Our 4th graders have fallen in love with Numeroso and most of our grades love Struggly. #ElemMathChat

A5 Teachers need to model use of grade appropriate math vocabulary - I love a math word wall or anchor charts that include it. We can notice and name when kids use it appropriately. #ElemMathChat

These are the #EduChats I have down for today. #ElemMathChat #LevelUpEDU #EduSkyAI #EDUskyAI tinyurl.com/blueskyeduchats How to EduChat: alicekeeler.com/2024/11/20/h... #EduSky

A3 Unifix cubes are one of my favorite math tools in lower elementary! We use them a lot and kids learn to compose and decompose numbers with them. #ElemMathChat

A2 At my school, math lessons usually begin with a number sense routine. Students are eager to share their ideas and it's tough to know when to linger or when to move on to the next part of the lesson. #ElemMathChat

A1 Facilitating an atmosphere of trust, respect and genuine interest in the ideas and feelings of others is really important when building a community of mathematicians. #ElemMathChat

A0 Hi Everyone, I am Jennifer, an early learning math specialist in Atlanta, GA. #ElemMathChat

Hello all! So great to see you! Thank you for leading tonight @selena-contreras.bsky.social Can’t wait to chat and learn with you all! #ElemMathChat #ITeachMath #MTBoS

I need to learn about Alt Text. Any pointers? 🙏

@bholden86.bsky.social Hi! I hope all is well with you. 😊

There’s some fun math here for football and math fans! www.nytimes.com/athletic/585... Wait, NFL players eat how many Uncrustables?

A8 3rd graders I work with are beginning to work with multiplication. Some have an inkling that you can switch the factors around and get the same product. I am so excited for them to find out and prove why that works. I learned to ask the question: will that always work? #elemmathchat

A5 I wonder if Ava would want to try it out with various numbers first and try to see if it works for those examples. Would she be satisfied with that or would she see why it works? #elemmathchat

A4 I am thinking this kid understands a very big idea: you can change addends by increasing one and decreasing the other by the same amount and the sum will remain the same. #elemmathchat

A3 Wowza - this kid was quite systematic and used all number symbols to show their thinking! They also noticed there were many solutions. #elemmathchat

A2 I have learned the hard way to be careful with the images I use in problems with kids. How are all 10 going to fit in that hutch? But seriously, they draw the bunnies! #elemmathchat

A1 Jennifer from Atlanta here. I love it when kids ask questions of each other. #elemmathchat

Please join a great chat when Jody Guarino & Chepina Rumsey (@jody_guarino and @chepinarumsey lead the discussion, 'Nurturing Math Curiosity' TONIGHT 8pm CST on deck.blue BlueSky #ElemMathChat #MTBoS

Would you like a free 60-day trial of Struggly? My students (and teachers) love the challenges - so addicting! @StrugglyMath

A6 I recently learned about the fabulous resource from TERC on the topic of math identity which has tons of questions for students. I'll be using some of these in an upcoming parent workshop. #ElemMathChat www.terc.edu/mathequityfo...

A6 There is a thinking routine called "I used to think, now I think". It's great for spotlighting growth in understanding. #ElemMathChat

A5 Most adults didn't learn math this way and conflate teaching with telling students how to do the math. At BTSN today, a parent shared how her student has grown to love math class. She feels respected and that kind of engagement will keep her learning. #ElemMathChat

A4 One idea to help students take ownership of their learning is to elevate mistake-making and how valuable this is in the learning process. #ElemMathChat

A2b With young students, I often have us play the game Telephone to have them practice listening carefully to others and learning how to ask someone to repeat themself when the message wasn't clear the first time. #ElemMathChat

A2 We need to find ways to orient students' attention towards each others' ideas, not just the teacher/Sage on the Stage. #ElemMathChat

A1 As Peter H. Johnston wrote in his class book Choice Words, I think we teachers can position our students as capable mathers by "noticing and naming" their actions or words which reveal their strengths. #ElemMathChat

A0 I am Jennifer, an early learning math specialist in Atlanta. I love listening to the mathers in pre-K classes! #ElemMathChat

As a math educator, in what ways might I take myself out from between the mathematics and students? How can I open space for students to have full access to discovering mathematical ideas themselves? #Elemmathchat

Excited that Brendan Scribner (@bscribb, @bscribmather.bsky.social) will lead #ElemMathChat on "Cultivating a Math-er Community" at 8 PM CST Sept 5th! The conversation will be facilitated on deck.blue & create an account. See you there! #ElemMathChat #MTBoS
