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?

The second in my Maths Strategies series.
This video continues the focus on the major numeracy strategies for addition BUT this time, solutions are represented with equations.

In the second video, it's addition represented with equations.
Show the video, pause it, students identify the strategy and give reasons for their choice.

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.
