Andrew Fenner @numbershapes.bsky.social · 01/07/2025There's so much a kids brain can do, even before they learn to count. I created Opal because I couldn't wait to start exploring numbers with my son. This game focuses on building estimation skills while building towards counting & cardinality. #math #education #games 210
Andrew Fenner @numbershapes.bsky.social · 18/06/2025With grade 3 I used describe it like this: “When it’s half as big, you need twice as many.” It was a really good entry point because we could then do things like “if a bucket is half full, you need twice as many” etc. Boy do I miss those conversations. 010

Reposted by Andrew FennerAndrew Fenner @numbershapes.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Giving students the autonomy to attempt problems on their own should not be conflated with giving them the responsibility to learn on their own. The feedback cycle is necessary for learning and you cannot get feedback without trying. #Math #ScienceOfLearning #Maths #Education 052

Andrew Fenner @numbershapes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Definitely. I can’t ever see myself pointing to a symbol or expression and saying “is this a number?”. I’d rather ask, “What idea is this symbol designed to communicate? Why was it designed that way?” And “What is being communicated in this context? Is it ambiguous or well defined” 000
Andrew Fenner @numbershapes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Without a clear definition of what a “number” is. I don’t know why we would speculate as to what is or isn’t a number. Or why that would be a valuable distinction for elementary students. 100

If we accept this as fact, then widespread AI usage with a deemphasis on teachers will actually increase inequality. 131
