Gen X - (1997-2012) suffers the most cynicism. 8th graders suffer from the most decline in hope across countries. "But there’s hope – or at least, the science of hope, a measurable ability to set goals, push forward and track your own path to completion of those goals". www.kqed.org/mindshift/65...
Why Hope is Fundamental to Achieving Goals and Combatting Cynicism | KQED
Identifying goals, developing steps to achieve those goals and finding ways to overcome potential obstacles can have the added benefit of cultivating hope in cynical times.

Exploring 2-digit addition on the beaded number line! It’s a fantastic visual tool for building number sense. We practiced different strategies today:
1️⃣ Adding tens, then ones (e.g., 34+25 is 34+20, then +5).
2️⃣ Compensating to make friendly numbers (e.g., 29+45 becomes 30+44).

The 20-bead number line is making abstract concepts concrete We're moving from counting-by-ones to: Strategizing: Seeing 17+5 as 17+3+2.Unitizing: Sliding a whole row to add/subtract 10. Decomposing: Visually breaking numbers into tens and ones.It’s transforming their understanding.

With the 20-bead number line, we turn tough addition into a simple, hands-on game! When a student sees 7+5, we don't just say "figure it out." We say, "Let's make a ten!" They slide their 7 beads, then grab 3 more to complete 10. Now, how many are left to add?Just 2! youtu.be/UKkhwtmxibQ

The Speed of Talk:Hattie stated that in primary schools, primary kids talk about about 124 words per minute. High school - 140 words.Teachers, 174 words per minute, which is too fast for many students to comprehend. And teachers also tend to speak at 1.5 to two grades above the grade level (Hattie).
