"until we can" pretend we are as important as the rest of the program

BAOOOOOOOOO

Happy to chat when you're available

Initially? We just figure it out. I mean there's more to say than this but ... yeah there's a lot to say

What does this mean?

BAOOOOOOOOOO

I'm in let's do it

And I never got to read the article because it's paywalled :)

Ayyyy! And I won ;)

1/41 with 10 piles is a good time

Hey this looks familiar

BAOOOOOOO

It's tough because we only have + and - until third grade. At 1st and 2nd this would mean using parentheses

Would love to. TLP 4 Eva

How are kindergarten students meant to understand multiplication and division?

Totally ... it just adds a little more load and in the early grades you can't throw too much vocabulary so the picked words need to be worth it :)

Hard word to learn / write .... so it needs to add a lot of value and or kind of doesn't? I'm not sure.

I was there for this. Amazing (and staged, duh)

I thought this was funny given that Sam is generally credited with the name and that MBSoS would have his initials in it ;)

Yeah "at least X" doesn't work to get 8/36. It might work to get 48/216 for 3d6? Nope.

How bout some 2d6 where you have to roll doubles or 11?

Love this

Welcome to the MBSoS

Alright elementary math people:

When and how do you introduce order of operations?

Common Core seems to say third grade ... or do they? It's all sorts of confusing.

"Sums and differences" is probably about as good as it gets, we may have picked "options"

I agree, it would be much better on cards and could then be done without named reference!

Sensible ... but it doesn't feel good to teach that term to first graders

this is a new one, but yes, pretty similar

i think your answer is to not call them anything. but i feel like in some cases we have to give an instruction something like "circle the three ______s"

If kids haven't learned the word "expression" yet, how do we ask them to refer to a thing like "4 + 5" or "9 - 3" when there is a list of those things?

The particular problem is "Circle the three [expressions] that equal 12."

Thanks!
