A5 I like word webs. You say/write a math vocab word and students turn to partners and brainstorm words that go with it - then the class discusses their word associations and creates a web. #elemmathchat

A2 I enjoy these letter/number clues/puzzles to represent real-world math connections - I often use them as openers in professional learning sessions. Sometimes they are easy, but some of them can be stumpers! #elemmathchat

Have you read Counting on Fall? The author & illustrator share fall events (squirrels gathering acorns, geese flying south, leaves falling...) and students are challenged to identify groups of 10, count by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s & many more counting tasks. @nctm.org @mathedleaders.bsky.social #math+lit
