When kids subtract from teen numbers:
🖐 Feel it (manipulatives)
👀 See it (take ones away)
✏️ Symbolize it (write equation)
That hands → eyes → brain path makes subtraction stick! #primaryteachers #primaryschool #firstgrade #firstgradeteachers #secondgrade #subtractionstrategies #homeschooling

Educator @tjmath.bsky.social takes every opportunity to deepen S inquiry! Here's one of his favorite tips:

#EduSky

"My tip for boosting student engagement is to NEVER respond 'yes' or 'no' to any student answer. ALWAYS ask the rest of the students, 'What do you think of _____'s answer?' It works every time." —Educator T.J. Jemison
