Both teachers and students have been #learning the structure of the place value system, and using creative thinking to explore ways in which numbers can be partitioned to develop flexibility. @TheLearnerFirst #iteachmaths #MSmathchat

Thanks @joboaler Imagine engagement when students learn math through the data that surrounds them. Humanity has never needed this approach to math more. @TanyaLaMar1 @chaoskeeper11 @knowledgehook @youcubed @TheLearnerFirst @EducationRadix @NascoEducation
