Me: I see you wrote 6+8=14, how did you figure that out? S: I added. Me: What did you add? S: The 6 and 8. Me: How did you add them? S: I put them together. Me: What did you do first? S: I took 2 from the 6, put it with the 8 to make 10, then 10 and the leftover 4 is 14.

“At the end of the day what really matters is that your loved ones are well, you’ve done your best, and that you’re thankful for all you have.”

I am excited about this - this team has made lessons that integrate all areas of maths (including data) and have students working on real problems. So important and needed ... I am advising them as I believe in their work.

Just participated in a great game of Albert's Insomnia via Zoom! So great to see the third graders' expressions as they thought through the mathematical possibilities! #distancelearning #playmath

My favorite definition of mathematics so far - from the great Bertrand Russell in 1901: "The subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true."
