"Why are we learning this?"

Hands down one of my favorite routines. And most of my kids beg to do them.

What a great idea. Using similar strategies across subjects makes planning easier for the teacher but relieves students of having to navigate different learning routines. Win win.

Just saw 5 Fingers on a hand and 18 holes on golf course. But the rest still haven't materialized.

Yes. I imagine perspective, experience and current reality push us heavily. With recent meetings I'm wondering if the one is 18 hits on the Google Calendar 😁 #ElemMathChat

Took me way too long to get 5 toes on a foot. But with as many teeth as my son has lost lately, 5 teeth on a fairy is probably more relatable 😅 #ElemMathChat

I also notice my typing (and phones autocorrect) are wildly off. 🤣 So many type-os. Guess I spend too much time with numbers now. #ElemMathChat

It's greater than 1 I saw.

Maximum post, sir!

First thought was to break 15 into 10 and 5. But then I noticed both were great candidates for double/halve. 30x12 is easier but I repeat the d/h to get 60x6. Now I'm working with a known square 6x6 is 36 and shift place value since it's 6 tens. 360.
