A7 Games are the "practice" component. It is my favorite way to formatively assess. I can watch for accuracy and slide in to have conversations about thinking. You can tell so much by just observing during game play. #elemmathchat
A5 I wonder sometimes if teachers don't really understand the difference between additive and multiplicative thinking therefore, Ss don't develop their mult reasoning. I'm always surprised at how many Ts are excited when kids can skip count quickly to get products. #elemmathchat
A3 The beauty of the contextual image is that all kids can "see" it their own way - how it makes most sense to them! #elemmathchat
A2 Context gives a way for the numbers to have meaning. It provides the anchor for understanding. #elemmathchat
