Mathematicians don't want you to know this trick but you can literally prove any equation true by multiplying both sides by 0.

@lawrence_farms Would you want a teacher to say that the only way to do 999+999 is to "carry the 1" multiple times when it may make more sense to just "give 1 to the other number" to make it 1000+998? Making tens is important in building number sense.

For tests, I dedicate the first 5 minutes to have students hold the tests and talk to their group about strategies (w/out pencils). This lowers their test anxiety AND when you walk around, you hear some of the richest math conversations. #iteachmath
