Anyone who asked this kid what he wanted for his birthday heard the same thing… “Giannis stuff” (Giannis Antetokounmpo , Milwaukee Bucks ) 💚. He is having the best day ever! Happy birthday, buddy!!

Educators can take a note from this exchange. This brother is schooling the reporter. We have to reframe failure as learning opportunity. What did we do or not do. We need to help Ss use errors as information and learn to "fail fast". Thanks Sharif El-Mekki for sharing this.

He wanted to make arrays on the pool deck today 😍 #arraychat

A little #multiplicationbyheart practice on this rainy day thanks to the creative mind of Math for Love . This soon-to-be 3rd grader is loving the chance to problem-solve with new facts. 💛

“The way disability is framed affects the way we teach it” Rachel Lambert (look for me on sky now) & Erica Mason ALL students deserve the opportunity to be curious & engage in math that involves sense-making, instead of just being told what & how to do math. #NCTM23

Pumpkin bread making day means all the arrays with my 3rd grader. He said, “we can do a 5 by 2, wait no, there are 12. We can make it a 6 by 2.” Asked him, any other ways? Here are a couple examples. Trying out 18 next! *empty one was eaten by our 7th grade taste-tester

Nothing better on these cold, dark nights #iteachmath

Some multiplication & division fluency practice at home #iteachmath #modelpower

Easter candy arrays… we can always sneak in some math! Asked my 3rd grader to try to make arrays to depict a product of 12.
