The Little Things

Most of what we do when it comes to learning math is not blog material. Not every task contains an 'ah-ha!' moment; not every activity is new or surprising. This post lays out some of the little things we do to support mathematical thinking and learning, and some things that we don't do yet, but are in the works.

Number Twister

What do we do when the weather is wet?  When we need some exercise for our brains and bodies both?


Number Twister!


At first, we played with just me calling out addition problems.  Then we made dice.  Regular dice, integer dice, six-sided, eight-sided, twelve-sided dice...  The possibilities are endless!
