I wonde about also letting students choose their own number sets. #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:56 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj47tfjczw2thttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj47pzcojx2i#ElemMathChat is on Spring Break Join us 4/20/26 at 8 PM CST when Heidi Sabnani, @heidisabnani.bsky.social will lead our conversation.

They don't jump in calculating Once they have a strategy they can even practice with their just right numbers berfore the actual numbers are inserted. This builds confidence and strategy first #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:54 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj47octyqt2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj477if4wi2oA6 Visuals for launching is a great tool in udl. When students can visualize it is another way they can connect and enter into the math. #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:45 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj477if4wi2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj46rehsme26A5 I notice a ton of sweets. I wonder if this is a bake sale. I wonder how much of each thing there is. I wonder how much they are selling the stuff for. I wonder what they are raising money for. I wonder how much they will have left over. I wonder if they will do a sale. Why so much? #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:37 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj46rehsme26https://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj46mnak772iA4 If during work time after the notice wonder conversations students are still struggling I would ask what do you know about these numbers, what strategies have we done before that might help, is there an easier problem you could make that would make this one easier? #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:35 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj46mnak772ihttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj46eygl6x2uA3 I don't know if I would modify problem, just modify the delivery. I would read the problem to students. Then ask all what do you notice and wonder. If needed I would present one sentence at a time and Notice/Wonder. Then I would have students work independentlyy & then coolaborate #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:31 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj46eygl6x2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj45z722j52lA3 If students have been taught to ways to number grab rather than notice and wonder and read and understand they mayy just do 437-68. They may also not understand or register all of the language in the problem. Reading for understanding #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:24 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj45z722j52lhttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj45j5o6c52hA2 I think I would do 37x2=74 and then -68 so that = 6 and then add that 6 to 400x2 so 800+6= 806 #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:15 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj45j5o6c52hhttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj457th5ng2oA1 I think that math is one of the things that people/students use to make sense of their world. Not just the calculations and problems, but relationships and connections. Math is visual, auditory and tactile in our environment. It is the BEAUTY we experience in art, music, plants....! #ElemMathChat10 Apr 2026 01:10 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj457th5ng2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mj44u3xi2o2mHi!

LOL. I see there are hexagons. It seems to have several sizes of triangles taht have dripping hexagons tht then build more semi triangular shapes. but they are not infinite. soe have 2 drip strings. Do you like my math language? LOL #ElemMathChat03 Apr 2026 01:43 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3miklsif2422ohttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3miklli5old2tA5 I wonder if the pattern grows bigger or smaller. Or, does it originate in center and grow bigger or does it originate on the outer ring and grow smaller? I can't look at this image without getting dizzy so counting triangles in rings makes me want to count an compare and question. #ElemMathChat03 Apr 2026 01:39 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3miklli5old2thttps://bsky.app/profile/mnmmath.bsky.social/post/3mikksi6xlg2oA4 I teach a robust unit zero where we learn about learning, growth mindset, community learning, "going on field trips" to talk to other groups, but just like @mfannie.bsky.social said, starting with Notice Wonder promotes safe curiousity and question asking. #ElemMathChat03 Apr 2026 01:25 +0000at://did:plc:q2mczyxujisavehq7f5vkdds/app.bsky.feed.post/3mikksi6xlg2o
