Help your students feel a sense of belonging in your math class by acknowledging their ideas, helping them see how math connects to their lives, nurturing collaboration, providing choice, and building their confidence. qualityteacherdevelopment.com/where-everyone… @NCTM @hand2mind @MathEdLeaders

So true! Also check out #MathByTheBook from @HeinemannPub where @SueOConnellMath myself and a bunch of other amazing educators put together a K-5 series to connect Math and children’s literature #Math

Will you be in Mobile, AL for next week's conference? If so, join one of my sessions on unlocking fact fluency (Tues, July 15 10:15am or 2pm). Stop by the hand2mind booth between the Tues sessions or 8:30-10am Wed to say hello. @NCTM @MathEdLeaders @hand2mind

We are on Week #4 of a 6-week slow chat about strengthening number sense for K-5 students. Join us at facebook.com/groups/MathinP… to add your ideas or read the ideas others have been sharing. We'd love to hear your thoughts. @NCTM @MathEdLeaders @hand2mind

We are on week 2 of a 6-week slow chat on Math in Practice/Sue O'Connell Facebook group. Topic - Deepening Number Sense K-5. Here is our week 2 question. Share your ideas or gather some from others on: facebook.com/groups/MathinP…. @NCTM @MathEdLeaders

Did I mention there will be some freebies at this session thanks to @hand2mind? Come join the fun! #mathlit25

This session is designed for teachers of grades K-2.

Join me today in salon A2 at 2:45 to gather lots of math + lit resources and ideas! Connecting math and literature is not just for primary students! #NCTENCTM25 #MathbytheBook @ncte @NCTM @MathEdLeaders

Jun. 17, 4:15, Salon A5 - This hands-on workshop explores math centers that incorporate play & learning progressions. Focus is on K-2, but all elem welcome! In a big room, so grab some friends & join me! 😂 Leave with lots of center ideas! @hand2mind @NCTM @ncte @MathEdLeaders

6/16, 2:45pm, Salon A-2 - Empowering Learners: Using Literature to Center Math Investigations and Elevate Student Voices. Discover read-alouds & related tasks to explore multip & divis concepts. Gather padlets filled with great math + lit connections. @ncte @NCTM @MathEdLeaders

I'm excited to speak at VCTM 2025 vctm2025.sched.com/event/38166855… @sched Join me on Friday at 2:45 or a repeat session on Saturday at 11:20. Gather ideas for engaging math centers that build students’ number sense!

Students love rereading familiar stories! Could one book launch multiple math lessons? Ten on a Twig by Lo Cole works for counting backward from 10, 1 fewer, minus 1, or combinations that make 10. When you find a good book, revisit the context for multiple lessons! @NCTM @ncte

Join me at NCTE-NCTM (Chicago) Jun. 16, 2:45pm to explore math + lit for Ss in grades 3-5! Connecting math + lit is not just for primary students! Go to heinemann.com/mathbythebook/ to download a list of children's books and related math topics. @NCTM @MathEdLeaders #elemmathchat

Looking for children’s books to set a context for multi-digit computations? Try “Too Many Pumpkins” by L. White. Pose math problems about pumpkin seeds, muffins, and cookies! For more literature ideas, see Math in Practice/Sue O’Connell Facebook group. facebook.com/groups/MathinP…

Will I see you at the NCTE-NCTM Joint Conference? I am honored to be sharing ideas for integrating children's lit & math (6/16 - 2:45pm) and ideas for math centers built on learning progressions (6/17 - 4:15pm). See you in Chicago! @hand2mind @NCTM @MathEdLeaders #elemmathchat

I hope to see you in Virginia Beach next week!

Join our summer slow chat to gather ideas for deepening K-5 students' number sense. Each Monday (June 16 - July 21) a question will be posted. Jump into the Facebook group any time that week to add a comment or read others' ideas. @NCTM @MathEdLeaders facebook.com/groups/MathinP…

We rely on formative assessment to uncover students' learning needs to help us determine our next steps. Here are some tips to consider as you reflect on what might make your formative assessments more effective. edutopia.org/article/15-for…

How long is your snake?🐍📏 Coach J Rains @SuccessatAPS led an exciting measurement lesson using the story "Hide and Snake" from Math by the Book! Ss used linking cubes to find items longer➡️shorter. Let's order them! How did your students measure up? @AmstiUAH @SueOConnellMath
