A7. Notice names with numbers attached. Names seem to be in alphabetical order. Wonder if there is a pattern or reason for numbers connected to each name. #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

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

A2: I notice some of these jumpvright put as familiar. 26 letters of alpha, 7 days of week. But others are less known. #ElemMathChat

A1. Scrabble was always a big ine. I remember the decipher code puzzles too. #ElemMathChat

Today I helped some teachers come to grips with the fact that their 4th grade math textbook has many lessons that are NOT 4th grade standards. Not only does the book NOT advocate good teaching...it is also teaching the wrong stuff. #CMCforQualityMath #UseHQIM

A math "trick" that can make subtraction easier:

I hope you will join us throughout the summer for this slow chat on strengthening k-5 students’ number skills and number sense. Begins June 16 in the Math in Practice/Sue O’Connell Facebook group. @nctm.org @mathedleaders.bsky.social @heinemannpub.bsky.social #elemmathchat

As a math teacher, it feels like half of my job is building mathematical confidence. Here are some ways I do this:

Had fun at our district math PD. What's wrong with me... it's summer. 🤣

LOVE Splats. Especially fraction splats and discussing when fractions greater than one can be more useful than mixed #s. In this case (19-7)/4 #ElemMathChat

A9: 1 - Always 2- Sometimes but not so in the special case of a square 3 - Sometimes 1/2 of 3 is smaller than a 1/3 of 6. But 1/2 is the largest unit fraction when dealing with the same whole and would never be smaller than a third in that case. #ElemMathChat

A10: Get rid of decimals. 1.5x18 becomes 3x9 (known fact) Id also consider 5x86 since doubling to 10 makes it simpler and both digits in 86 are even. 10x43

A0: John from STL MO. Math Interventionist. Today is my wife's birthday so that is joy. But also probably only able to check in tonight. #ElemMathChat

Exciting news! The Compass PD team will present at the NCTM/NCTE Elementary Joint Conference in Chicago this summer! 🎉 Join our sessions, stop by our table, and see The Comprehensive Standards Guides in person! www.nctm.org/ncte-nctm2025/ #NCTM #N#NCTM

This article describes a problem I see daily in the math classes I visit. More teachers than we care to admit have only a shaky understanding of the math they teach. Some have a palpable FEAR of math. They deserve better support. #iTeachMath www.edsurge.com/news...

I turned my most boring math lesson into one of my most engaging ones. Here's how:

We have to do math pd. It is essential. All elementary and middle school principals should read this: www.edsurge.com/news/2025-04...

A7: I think the first is great IF one has a firm grasp of what is happening. I think the area model is excellent for almost any level of understanding. And the middle is an excellent representation as students progress (since they'll see similar in middle school with variables) #ElemMathChat

A6: My team was just talking about this today as we put together anchor books for methods teachers can show. Double can seem more wonky. I gravitate towards the area model now most often. Interested to see how others tackle this. #ElemMathChat

A3: I would most often use the 10 and 8. But I also might use the overage and do 20x4. I'm less inclined personally to split the 8 into 5+3. But students still gaining fluency with 8s could easily use this. #ElemMathChat
