Join #ElemMathChat 12/4/25 at 8pm CST/9pm EST with @monamath.bsky.social and @middleweb.bsky.social to explore word problems. How do we move past steps so students make sense, reason, and see themselves as mathematicians? Bring ideas and questions. #ElemMathChat

Thanks for joining and math-ing with us tonight for #ElemMathChat! It’s WONDERFUL to connect with YOU! #ElemMathChat @mollyrawding.bsky.social @tmcbliteracy.bsky.social Huge shout out to @mnmmath.bsky.social for organizing!! We appreciate YOU!!!

Great idea for these books to be featured for kids to see that math and literacy go together! We are readers, mathers, thinkers, and tinkers!

Grateful for this #elemmathchat community! Tucking in tonight with visions of playful and purposeful literacy and math connections dancing in my head!

A9 Bring "Which one doesn't belong?" into phonics play or "Which words go together?" and brining counting collections in for story generation and/or letter/name formation. Also staying connected with all of YOU! #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

Time flies when you are having FUN! Last Question ... Q9 Math and Literacy… What’s Next? What’s on your mind? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

I was just gifted Two of Everything at the ATMNE conference 📚#ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

A6: Also Carrie Finison has some lovely books with Math Connections... We love this one.... #elemmathchat

A5: We did frayers a lot. Most of the time on a shared slide so kids could "cheat" and see each other's work. Review I used Gimkit to make it fun. Kids would also create the Review questions so they had to write/punctuate/spell correctly. #ElemMathChat

A6 Lots of good mathy books to learn about here: www.mathicalbooks.org #ElemMathChat

A7: I notice Names and 2 or 3 digit number in a box. Some names have one syllable , some 2 and some 3. I wonder if the letters or syllables in the name add up to the number? #elemmathchat

A6 And Six Dinner Sid is perfect for exploring multiplying by 6. #elemmathchat

Q7 Let’s Puzzle… Notice? Wonder? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

This is such a playful way to notice patterns in words and for access and choice on how to sort! Lots of entry points! #elemmathchat

Oh you just reminded me that when I used to teach 1st, I did a Which One Doesn't Belong routine with 4 words, to notice phonics features, for ex. : see sets seat sheet #ElemMathChat

A6: Math Inspectors Series. I love this because it is a series which can help students see patterns across longer texts AND mystery has an element of noticing/wondering/revising thinking along the way! #ElemMathChat @mollyrawding.bsky.social @tmcbliteracy.bsky.social

Esti-mysteries are such a fabulous use of counting collections....it's a wonderful culmination of counting, organizing, clue creation, suspense and fun!! Three cheers for @stevewyborney.bsky.social and this INCREDIBLE and AMAZING routine that has brought SO much math JOY!! #ElemMathChat

What is the same? What is different? are such great questions to encourage noticing, connecting, comparing... I love hearing kids' ideas around these questions! #ElemMathChat

A4: I used to use pictures to generate 8 parts of speech and writing. Estimysteries pictures, collections/jars could easily be re-used for writing/storytelling #ElemMathChat

@mnmmath.bsky.social Lots of addition (as acorns are gathered) or subtraction (as they are eaten or stolen!) could happen with acorns and The Leaf Thief! #elemmathchat

A5 Routines and structures might include… Morphology and word matrixes www.etymonline.com Word Matrix (NCTE) #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

We love the Leaf Thief...and now there is one for every season...so many possibilties with this series by Alice Hemming! #elemmathchat

Word play time! Q5 What routines do you use to introduce or review math vocabulary? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

Yes...and notice and wonder for upper case and lower case! What is the same? What is different? #elemmathchat

A4 Using counting collections to make letters…then notice and wonder. Esp for K/1 students. #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

Creativity, drafting, revising, playing- stories are connection! #ElemMathChat

Q3 If 24 H in a D = 24 Hours in a Day… Can you figure these out? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

WHO we play and puzzle and create with is just as important as WHAT❤️ #elemmathchat

A2 I notice initial letter and sound leads me to try a word- I wonder if 26 L =letters of the A= alphabet? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

A1 I love playing games... The first thing that comes to mind is I played a LOT of scrabble growing up with my dad. I also love word play, riddles, and puzzling! #ElemMathChat

A1 I love to think of rhymes for math stories, clues, and just fun! #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

Let's get started! Q1 What are some of your favorite ways to play with numbers and letters? #ElemMathChat @MollyRawding.BSky.social @TMcBLiteracy.BSky.social

@rubingo.bsky.social We enjoyed learning from you about generating ideas during our professional development yesterday! Excited to share your video and quadrant strategy with kids! 📝💡

Celebrate National Poetry Month with Ruthie Rose! d3kr0g7umcubly.cloudfront.net/candlewick-p...

Thanks so much, Tammy! Teachers can also download a list of books and related math topics from the Math by the Book website: www.heinemann.com/mathbythebook/ #elemmathchat

#elemmathchat sigh

Absolutely! Let's keep building the bridge!

Bookmarking this resource! Thank you for sharing, Sue!

What an energizing evening of more ideas, questions, connections...and I am oddly craving pickle chips 🥒😍 #elemmathchat

A7 follow up...nice to think about literacy and math units that are launching at the same time...could there be a collaborative "kick off" ?

A7 #ElemMathChat Thinking a bit about the similar structures or routines in both math & literacy content blocks. Student voices, executive functioning supports, engagement, organization… @tmcbliteracy.bsky.social @mollyrawding.bsky.social
