In the algorithm, you lose track of the place value, you just follow a procedure. In the 2nd strategy, 110 is decomposed into 100 and 10 and the parts are multiplied by 4,259, then added together. There are similarities, but one strategy holds on to place value. Both yield a correct answer.

deserve the right to joyful, challenging math and also deserve the right to come at mathematical ideas through their own strategies #ElemMathChat

Thanks Lisa! Especially in the upper grades where teachers are looking for how counting collections are still relevant to their mathematicians.

Are there any other sports contexts that could make this true? I love the puzzling and fabulous teamwork.

I absolutely agree! Also the kids stating maybe or I'm not sure. Sounds like they don't have a sense of why science/math matter in the real-world and their present and future. Also, the way it's being taught to them isn't working for a number of reasons including relevance and engagement.
