I LOVE this. When you don’t know the “rules” you are not bound by the imposed constraints of conventional thinking. This is how learning and innovation happens. This child probably didn’t ask “what if?” But just simply did and thought “I like it when I do this.” #mathchat #elemmathchat #iteachmath

These ar my favourite most versatile tool I’ve ever used. I love them. Here’s the answer to your question. More about the rods to come I’m sure.

Thank you so much. I will take any and all advice. Your words of encouragement mean the world to me. ☺️

I feel this. I have a book in me somewhere. I always have something to say. But when it comes to writing, I don’t know what it is I want to “say.” I always feel like everything has already been said.

Fantastic! Please do remember to share pictures and or anecdotes of the learning!

“Cannot install app at this time. Please try again later.” Universally results in me deleting hundreds of “work photos.” 😂

However that being said I am a massive fan of re-engineering “rules” to fit new objectives or just fancy a change to see what happens!

I would like to respectfully push back that this is a real game for real students learning early counting principles. It may have a short shelf life, however tagging, stable order, cardinality, heierarchical inclusion, subitizibg, are all very important.
