mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 13/02/2026So why might different levels of Ed’n like small grp instruction? Senior Admin? Admin? Ts? Ss? Do Ss like sgi? What purpose does it serve and how does it achieve that goal? #iteachmath #elemmathchat #msmathchat 010
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 13/05/2025I LOVE this. When you don’t know the “rules” you are not bound by the imposed constraints of conventional thinking. This is how learning and innovation happens. This child probably didn’t ask “what if?” But just simply did and thought “I like it when I do this.” #mathchat #elemmathchat #iteachmath 031
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 07/04/2025These ar my favourite most versatile tool I’ve ever used. I love them. Here’s the answer to your question.

mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Ss played a game that directly used these relational rods. They now need to score the total value of the rods. For reference, dark green on top=6. How would you calculate the sum? How do you think Ss would? #iteachmath #elemmathchat #msmathchat #mtbos #mathed #mathisfigureoutable 122
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Using the levelling strategy, Neal says the mean of this data is 5.2. Nat says that the mean of this data set is 5.4. Who has a misconception? What would you ask? #msmathchat #elemmathchat #iteachmath #mathisfigureoutable #mtbos 010
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Thank you so much. I will take any and all advice. Your words of encouragement mean the world to me. ☺️ 010
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 25/12/2024I feel this. I have a book in me somewhere. I always have something to say. But when it comes to writing, I don’t know what it is I want to “say.” I always feel like everything has already been said. 200
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 20/12/2024How many? How do you know? Has your thinking changed from image 2? How might we use images like these to talk about inequalities? #unitchat #msmathchat #iteachmath 050

mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 20/12/2024My friend Pam Harris posted over on another platform this prompt. What are your thoughts and how do you see my solution sparking conversation? #iteachmath #msmathchat #elemmathchat #mathisfigureoutable 000
Reposted by @mrbinfield.bsky.socialAmy Lucenta @amylucenta.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Great reps for #ConnectingReps reasoning routine to introduce circle graphs - use what you know about bar graphs to make sense of circle graphs 011
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Fantastic! Please do remember to share pictures and or anecdotes of the learning! 000
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 17/12/2024How are these two representations the same? How are they different? When would you choose to use each representation to communicate an idea and why? #iteachmath #elemmathchat #msmathchat #mtbos #mathed 0165
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I just used the “levelling strategy” to find the mean of this data set. I know it’s kind of 4, but what does that extra cube at the top represent? What misconceptions might your students encounter with this model & how would you support thinking #iteachmath #elemmathchat #msmathchat #mtbos #mathed 010
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 17/12/2024What q’s would you ask your students about this representation? How would you help them think Additively? Proportionally? Part to part? Part to whole? What might this represent? #iteachmath #elemmathchat #msmathchat #mtbos #mathed 020
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 20/11/2024“Cannot install app at this time. Please try again later.” Universally results in me deleting hundreds of “work photos.” 😂 200
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 19/11/2024However that being said I am a massive fan of re-engineering “rules” to fit new objectives or just fancy a change to see what happens! 010
mrbinfield.bsky.social @mrbinfield.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I would like to respectfully push back that this is a real game for real students learning early counting principles. It may have a short shelf life, however tagging, stable order, cardinality, heierarchical inclusion, subitizibg, are all very important. 220
