Consider TEAM teaching with me this THANKFUL THURSDAY. I do the easy part. You do the hard part. We work together. WE give kids a truly incredible math experience. We engage them. Encourage them. Excite them. Educate them. TOGETHER. You & me. Let's do it. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

A BIG milestone! More kids than ever are using our site to practice & master their reasoning & computational skills. In light of all the school closings, we are offering more, FREE activities to encourage, enlighten & engage kids in learning. Join the fun! gregtangmath.com/challenges

Secret to becoming a great reader? Read a lot. Secret to becoming good at math? Do a lot of math. There's no mystery to being good at anything. Good coaching, good technique, good practice. Here are some fun mental math problems to try. Do you know what a snake uses to smell?

That's exactly what I would do! Many students are at grade level when it comes to technical/arithmetic skills but below grade level when it comes to reasoning skills. Our kids simply do not do enough reasoning-rich problems or practice. Using appropriate puzzles is the whole key!

And another 2nd grader regrouping twice in his head after practicing for a few days I’m guessing? Great! Progression is C-P-A-M. What’s M? Mental math! So many more kids could be going so much further with their math skills!

I try to emphasize w/ students & teachers – CONCEPT before COMPUTATION! What do these equations mean separately? What do they mean together? Do all of us (including me) tend to jump in & immediately start doing calculations? Can we get ourselves to stop, reason, make sense FIRST?
