I think schematic representations ought to have utility, in other words, help re-realize the whole. This one works that way, because the astray consequences are so clear. The congruence between mental representations and integrity is rather important, when you think about it. #EduSky

Engagement is not done to someone. Fascination Intrigue Desire arise inside brains at work.
The outside world can create conditions, the Zone of Proximal Development, attract attention, and invite participation, but their initiative comes first.

Like an elephant, education is chained.
A coming together to talk about clients, share, interpret, document the day, invent, try, and refine will NEVER be allowed.

Farmers don’t make carrots grow. They see seeds, then seedlings, and later lacy leaves, while the carrots, the abilities and dispositions educators deem essential, grow underground, naturally.

Personally, and this may be old hat to you, I see the problem as arising in preschool. Children can and should be able to envision the amount is missing from a set of five objects. It’s mentally representing the holes not being distracted by perception. Changes kids to being “ smart”.

I taught preschoolers and an adult class in Math for Young Children. I am not a math ed for elementary and higher.
I don’t see anything about this, which i found to be the most significant understanding for 5’s and 6’s.
Can you help me out here? #EduSky

I see lots of math and curriculum people here. I’m wondering about this way of representing number.
Seems logical to me, with the thumb being five, one feels the quantities 0 to 9.
Two hands have 0 to 99.
Wouldn’t this help?

Stewartia monodelpha, a tree from #Korea and #Japan and a patio made of broken concrete from an Elementary School on Queen Anne, #Seattle. We planted it when we bought our house. I think of this tree as my #cathedral.
