One of the coolest things to see is all of the Hand2Mind manipulatives from the state math grants coming into our schools to increase conceptual understanding. Butler Ele. and Rice Creek recently received theirs.Excited for kids

A rare personal post but I want to share it with everyone because I’m so proud of my one and only child. Congratulations to my son Chase for being accepted into the Morehouse School of Medicine!

I had an amazing time these past two days facilitating math sessions at the district’s Teaching and Learning conference. Teachers were engaged and excited to learn why the CRA strategy and fluency are necessary for conceptual understanding.

I enjoy Marian Small's (Marian Small) Open Questions. She takes a traditional problem and opens up parts that lead to interesting explorations and conversations. If you like them too, she's got an online workshop about creating & using open questions: grassrootsworkshops.com/workshops/how-…

SCCPSS Hand2Mind district manipulatives training was a success! The session focused on fractions using pattern blocks, Cuisenaire rods, and fraction grids. Mrs. Denise Huddleston facilitated promoting critical thinking and reasoning. Excellent job!@denisehuddle Beth Tuck

marilynburnsmath.com/fractions/how-… This is a GREAT read that speaks of the importance of allowing students chances to make conjectures and incorporating writing to allow students the opportunity to express their “why”.

I love Graham Fletcher's ability to break down topics like fractions in such an intuitive way. Watch & share with others. gfletchy.com/2016/12/08/the… #MTBoS
