I love Susan Lamon’s Teaching Fractions and Ratios for Understanding because of how much in-depth math content is covered along with student work samples that show the messiness and beauty of student-generated models and strategies.

I’m not sure! I haven’t worked for DragonBox for a few years now. I loved the array too!!

Left side shows words describing double and halving multiplication strategy by doubling one factor and halving the other. The right side shows an rectangular area model that demonstrates this relationship.

The power of our work in setting the foundation of number relationships with basic facts is that we can extend these strategies to other # sets. Here's an activity to match multiplication strategies for 45x16 and the models that make this thinking visible. ann-elise-record.mykajabi.com/multmatch

What cool trays! I’m wondering how many in each section

Biggest #CountingCollection to date... Notice? Wonder? @berkeleyeverett.bsky.social

Thank you Erick - this looks great

Thanks for the recommendation!

Calculus friends, what resource can you recommend to help someone pass a college level calculus class? (Asking for a friend)

Cutting research funding would make education less effective and efficient Presidents of education research associations explain the impacts of recent funding cuts to the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).

"Cost cutting does not guarantee efficiency. Rather, efficiency is inherently about return on investment, which reflects the tradeoff between money spent and the impact of the work that money supported."

I'm so excited to be presenting at the CGI Regional Conference in May! Join me as we explore integrating play into learning in upper elementary grades. #iteachmath #edusky

I’ll be there, facilitating a discussion with Raymond Little on Cognitive Coaching and CGI. Come join us!

Come learn about CGI from my favorite experts on the topic! Special intro session if you are a newbie

CGI Regional Conference information to share! (above)

CGI 2025 Regional Conference. Megan Franke - Keynote Speaker. In addition to the Friday afternoon keynote and featured ticketed session, participants will choose from dozens of 75-minute breakout sessions addressing a wide variety of topics for participants with a range of CGI experience. Topics include: Counting Collections across pK-6 Problem Solving with Fractions Neurodivergent thinking Connections between number sense routines and problem solving Multilingual learners Building positive math identities Choral Counting into middle school Supporting children’s curiosity and play-based learning Leadership and coaching conversations Growing CGI school-wide Communicating math ideas through words, tools, gesture, and representation Building number sense and place value ...and more!

Interested in CGI (Cognitively Guided Instruction)?

Come to the CGI Regional Conference in Los Angeles, May 2-3

"Look the crisis is that a Black person got a job."
- the Billionaire trying to loot everything you own

Excellent thread on autism:

Lastly, it says a lot about this country that the idea of being more inclusive across identity is considered radical, but here we are.

Fight for a vision that demands we see each other as full human beings worthy of dignity, respect, and intellect.

They can't stop us all until they stop us all.

Perfect tagline

This image shows four unique triangles created using 21st Century Pattern Blocks. The top left displays a right triangle, constructed with a teal kite and a pink triangle. The top right features an equilateral triangle, formed using three gray darts and three blue rhombuses. The bottom left shows an isosceles triangle, made from two pink triangles. Finally, the bottom right shows a right triangle, constructed with two pink triangles and four green triangles.

Which one doesn’t belong? Join the fun and share your ideas! #WODB #21CenturyPB #iTeachMath

A little #choralcounting today as students explored counting down by 10s while modeling the count using base 10 blocks in small groups. (And what happens if we go more in either direction).

Favorite comment before we started: “Oh yay! We’re choral counting again!”

Book cover for How Did You Count? There is a sideways diamond of shiny plastic spheres carefully arranged on a wood floor. The left "half" of the diamond is a triangle with base five, made of light blue spheres. The larger, right "half" is a triangle with base six, made of red spheres.

Good morning!

Number one way in the coming weeks to support the work that brought you Which One Doesn't Belong?, Tiling Turtles, Math On-A-Stick, and the Hierarchy of Hexagons is this:

Pop into your fave bookstore or library to ask for How Did You Count? ISBN: 978-1032898353

Drawing a picture is often a better strategy than applying someone else’s steps (“strategy”). Plus, drawing a picture is a strategy that works for all 4 operations AND fractions.
