I thought I wasn't a Maths Person but I now know different.
Thanks to Margarita Breed, Pam Harris, Kim Montague and Jo Boaler
Now I'm a Maths Coach and this week challenged myself to reason with Pie Charts.
It's been quite a journey!

Emphasis on meaningfulness and sense-making as central to mathematical development. Memorization is fragile and recovery is difficult (as in forgot my password or lock cutter at my gym for forgotten combinations) but reasoning from basic meaning back to some fact is possible.

In the third video in the series, we focus on being efficient with addition and subtraction.
Students are shown an inefficient strategy and must improve on it.
Next, they're shown two strategies, which is more efficient and why?

Exploration + clear explanations = deep learning
Inquiry-based learning builds problem-solving skills, while explicit instruction gives students the vocab, concepts, and procedures they need. “Students benefit most when the two go hand in hand,” says Smith.

“Our goal was to move beyond the limited framework of “memorization” versus “thinking strategies” to show how the two are mutually beneficial in arithmetic fluency.
