Get ready—May is all about digging deeper into fluency! Today's #ThursdayTeachingTip: game play isn’t just fun—it’s essential. 🎥 Check out the video to learn more about why games are a key building block for fluency & how to make more time for them. #FluencyBeyondFast New Jersey Association of Educational Leaders

🔢 #MathStandardMonday: This May, we’re digging into fluency—not just on Thursdays, but on Mondays too. Where better to start than Kinder? K.OA.4 asks Ss to find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number—but what does that really look like in practice? #NJSLS #CCSS

#ThursdayTeachingTip: If you’re using ⏳ timed tests for facts—time to reconsider ❌ Fluency = flexibility, efficiency & accuracy—not speed under pressure. 🎥 Check out this week’s video for 2 key reasons timed tests fall short. Link in bio for free, research-based tools. #NJSLA

📘 #MathStandardMonday As we continue unpacking fluency, this week we’re digging into K.OA.A.5—but not just what the standard says. We’re exploring "HOW we get there” & "WHAT it looks like.” 👉 Check out the video to learn more. #NJSLS #CCSS FluencyBeyondFast New Jersey Association of Educational Leaders AMTNJ - Association of Math Teachers of New Jersey

✏️ #ThursdayTeachingTip—True fluency means students have automaticity⚡️—but how do we balance that with the idea of showing or explaining their thinking 🤔? 🎥 Watch this week's video for a simple move that respects fluency without losing insight. #FluencyBeyondFast #NJSLS

✏️ #MathStandardMonday: Let’s clear up a common confusion around fluency: When do Ss stop using "r" for remainder? Should they enter Gr 6 using decimals in their quotients? Spoiler: The standards might surprise you. 🎥 Watch the video to learn more! #NJSLS #CCSS New Jersey Association of Educational Leaders AMTNJ - Association of Math Teachers of New Jersey

🧠 Do you REALLY know your grade-level standards—and how they connect across the grades? If you're not 100% sure, you're not alone. And you're exactly who the Coaching that Counts K-2 Standards Summit was built for. 📅 June 12📍 Toms River, NJ 🖊️ Registration Link in Bio

#ThursdayTeachingTip 💡 Over the next few weeks, we’re spotlighting essential fluency strategies that ALL Ss should have in their math toolkits — not just as “tricks,” but as thinking tools that build deep, flexible understanding. 🔢 Up first: Make a 10! #FluencyBeyondFast #NJSLS

✏️ #MathStandardMonday 💡 Up this week: 1.NBT.C.5 —What does it mean to "mentally find" 10 more or 10 less? And what does TRUE fluency look like with this standard? 🎥 Check out this week’s video to learn more! #FluencyinAction #PLthatCounts #NJSLS #CCSS New Jersey Association of Educational Leaders AMTNJ - Association of Math Teachers of New Jersey

#ThursdayTeachingTip 🔢 Make a 10–Part 2: This week, we’re continuing the conversation about how the Make a 10 strategy grows with students—beyond early addition facts.💡 Why is this such a key strategy for students to know & use? 🎥 Check out the video! #FluencyBeyondFast #NJSLS

#MathStandardMonday: This week, we’re unpacking 2.OA.B.2—& 2 phrases that seem to contradict each other: "Using strategies" & "Know from memory". 🎥 Check out this week’s video to see how they work together—& what it means for G2 fluency. #NJSLS #FluencyBeyondFast New Jersey Association of Educational Leaders AMTNJ - Association of Math Teachers of New Jersey

#ThursdayTeachingTip 💡 Our 2nd essential fluency strategy for + & —: Compensation. This strategy helps Ss adjust #s to make problems easier to solve mentally—a key step toward building flexibility & number sense. 🎥 Check out the video to learn more. #FluencyBeyondFast #NJSLS

#MathStandardMonday—Confession: 5.NBT.B.5 is my LEAST favorite fluency standard. Not because multiplying with the standard algorithm is often rushed—though that’s true—but because this one leaves A LOT open to interpretation. 🎥 Check out the video to learn more. #NJSLS AMTNJ - Association of Math Teachers of New Jersey

📦 I just opened the box of classroom goodies from @EAIEducation for Thursday’s #CoachingthatCounts #StandardsSummit—let’s just say…Ts are leaving with more than new strategies. 👀 #PLThatCounts #TeacherSwag #NJSLS #MathManipulatives Toms River Regional Schools Evesham Township School District North Hanover Schools
