mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Teaching children to mindlessly follow algorithms is such a frustrating thing to try to combat as a teacher- these kids often resist attempts to make math make sense! #Teachmath @tdsbmath.bsky.social 000
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Then the student made an error with his equivalent fractions, and got an incorrect answer, and did not know that his answer made no sense- it’s much too small 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Why do common denominators at all? 3/6 = 1/2, 6/3 =2, so the answer is 2 1/2 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 27/11/2025He made a common denominator of 18, which you would only do if you had learned a procedure (multiply the denominators to find your common denominator) If you want a common denominator, 6 is a much easier and more logical choice 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Even worse, the student wanted to show me the great math he had learned in his program He was trying to add 3/6 and 6/3 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Here is some thinking from a grade 3 student recently This student solved this problem by standard regrouping, but then just counted back from 15 to solve 15-8 Why do the regrouping, if you are just going to count? 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 27/11/2025So unfortunate when students go to after school math programs that teach algorithms, not math reasoning 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 21/11/2025And student work Great job! 000
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Practice questions for students 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Overshoot and return number talk with Mr.Taib’s class at Rose Ave 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 30/09/2025And some exit tickets See how done students thought visually, and some with a T-table 000
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Working on algebraic rules with Grade 6’s at Lord Dufferin Great work! @tdsbmath.bsky.social #visualmath #slgebraicthinking 111
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Getting started with Number Talk strategies in Grade 2/3 at Bruce PS @tdsbmath.bsky.social #NumberTalk #visualmath 011
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Getting started with a Number Talk for Grade 3’s at Rose Ave #NumberTalk #visualmath @tdsbmath.bsky.social 011
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 09/09/2025More grade 2/3 math At the fun fair you could buy tickets in 2’s or 3’s 100

mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 04/09/2025and get images like this 000
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 04/09/2025Another favourite source for images to discuss with your class is @multiplicitynu.bsky.social Love the way you can search for topics, grade levels and more! multiplicitylab.northwestern.edumultiplicitylab.northwestern.eduHome | Multiplicity Lab 100
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Have you used Which One Doesn't Belong? Do you have their new web address? talkingmathwithkids.com/wodb I like to start the year with examples with pictures- super easy and fun! #MathTalktalkingmathwithkids.com 000
mathiferous-julia.bsky.social @mathiferous-julia.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Glad to have joined Bluesky! For my first few posts I'm going to highlight some visual math resources that are great for getting a culture of discussion in your class.talkingmathwithkids.com 000
