"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

(7x4) + 5 using just numbers We did this same problem at AMTNYS and the T3IC. All of the answers were great! I liked cutting part of the 9's out to make 3's! #AMTNYS #T3IC #ElemMathChat #MTBoS #mathteacher #mathnerd #mathnerdsrule #Mathematics

Today is 2²/5²/5² Math is cool! #iteachmath #mathematics #mathteacher #mathnerd #math

May the Fourth is almost here!

I created this 20 Day Bluesky Challenge to help educators get started using @bsky.app for professional learning. I hope you find it useful! #EDUSky #TLSky #Librarians #Skybrarians

A10: not going to lie- my brain is too tired to truly sit and think about this. 😂 I'll be sitting down tomorrow morning to work it out and see the connection! #ElemMathChat

Great idea!

A9: A: always B: sometimes C: never if you put them on a number line or have 2 of the same wholes. But I could also say maybe, depending if one object is bigger than the other. I'm thinking a pizza vs a cookie. #ElemMathChat

A8:A trapezoid is a quadrilateral (a four-sided polygon) that has at least one pair of parallel sides. So yes, it is a trapezoid! Just not a 'typical' one that'll we would see. This emphasizes the importance of vocabulary! #ElemMathChat

A7: 3 under each splat 19-7=12 12÷4=3 7+4(3) #ElemMathChat

A6: I see a bunch! 6×2 helps figure out 6×4 6×2 and 6×4 helps figure out 6×8 6×5 helps figure out 6×10 6×3 helps with 6×6 and 6×9 I love all the connections students can make from this one picture! #ElemMathChat

A5: I LOVE this strategy! Distributive property for multiplication! Knowing 8×4 is a part of 8×8. Double the answer from A to get B #ElemMathChat

A4: 15/4 Vertically, you are adding 1 or 4/4 to each fraction. Each diagonal (1/4 to 6/4 to 11/4) is increasing by 5/4. I wonder if students can see the pattern- especially that 4/4=1, 8/4=2 etc. #ElemMathChat

A3: Between the 0 and 1/4 #ElemMathChat

A2: I estimate 16 I think the answer is 18- my estimation might be completely off 🤣 #ElemMathChat

A1: Number of green and orange are the same. The left shows 5 G+3 O+4 O, the right shows 5 G+5 O+2 O- different equations with the same answer! #ElemMathChat

A0: I'm Amanda! I work at OCM BOCES in central NY, and I am the mathematics teacher trainer there! I was a math interventionist for 8.5 years prior to this job. Cheating a bit- yesterday was my daughter's birthday! #ElemMathChat

Sooooo excited for this #ElemMathChat. I've been following @anneliserecord.bsky.social for years!

Loved the questions tonight! More play in schools is needed! Thank you @melching5.bsky.social #EduSkyChat

A3: As I deliver PD sessions, I always model hands on activities that allow students to play- manipulatives & coding with robots in particular. In NYS we have Prek-3 Play standards I try to reference and cross connect to curriculum! #EduSkyChat

A2: "I don't have time." "They use manipulatives as toys- it's not worth it." "My middle school/high school kids will think that's too elementary. " Quotes I hear all the time. #EduSkyChat

A1: I love thematic units for Prek & K. I miss being able to have thwm in K. Making content connections through real life themed units. So wonderful! #EduSkyChat

Please join a great chat on 4/24 at 8pm CST when Ann Elise Record @anneliserecord.bsky.social leads #ElemMathChat See you there!
