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

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!

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!

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

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. :

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!

Esti-mysteries are such a fabulous use of counting collections....it's a wonderful culmination of counting, organizing, clue creation, suspense and fun!!

I love hearing kids' ideas around these questions! #ElemMathChat
