Another application as to why computational understanding is vital!
Thank you, Kelce brothers, for proving, yet again, that when you teach kids to memorize procedures (Jason) They can’t apply them to basic computation later. When allowed to think about what they know and build from their number sense, they nail it (Travis). This is fluency.

Here's a great "thinker" that will promote sense making and productive struggle!
I write a lot of puzzles, but really like this one. Goal? Solve using reasoning & mental math, which means simple equations and arithmetic. Nothing fancy here is needed. Just "sense making" about what each equation means, separately and together. Thanks for posting. Enjoy!

I once heard the term “nice nasty” to describe a person who smiles and says all the right words, but doesn’t align their actions to demonstrate care. Care is in the hardest moments made easier. Care is in the spaces where people need a gentle push in the right direction. Care

Great article that speaks to the importance of reassessment as well as misconceptions and pitfalls. It's a good one!
Retake policies in most schools are based on serious misconceptions that thwart any possibility of success. This articles helps guide the development of effective policies that evidence shows can and do work. https://t.co/QImlsFNEWD
