I love your channel, but how could I get similar slides for 3rd grade?... Please, help me, Susan.

Data Talks, Dot Talks. Two powerful ways to strengthen conceptual understanding. Data talks are real-world applications. Our students are drenched in data (video game stats, streaming services, online platforms, sports). Excellent data literacy and math concepts rolled into one.

This is truly wonderful stuff! It's like all the best ideas: obvious, once you see it, but not before you see it. I will be using some of these ideas in my kindergarten!

I was at the conference!!! 😂 I was the stalker who said hello to you in the cafe shop… 😂 You were awesome and, as always, I learned a lot.

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Loved these ideas and have incorporated many in my first grade classroom. One suggestion I would like to make is to change the wording of "Which doesn't belong?" to "Which is unique?" We want children to feel a sense of belonging and making a small change with our teacher vocabulary such as doesn't belong to unique makes such a difference in their feelings of exclusion. I explicitly teach the definition of unique first and review each time we do that sort of activity. Thank you as always for sharing each week. I look forward to all your videos!

Interesting! Anything that may help create an inclusive environment for our students is always useful to think about. I am glad you are enjoying my videos, Gayane! 😊

When the purpose is for students to explain their reasoning for their selection, we want them to be able to identify the characteristics that are NOT shared by the outlier. Any number of characteristics could make their selection unique, and they may even choose the right answer most of the time, but the instruction of "choose the most unique" will invite an entirely different line of reasoning. For the same reason I teach a "Same/Different" exercise, rather than "Similar/Unique".

Do you recommend staying on the same "number talk" subject for a few days in a row, or would you change it up every day? Love your videos!

Love this! Thank you!

This was a great detailed video. I plan to use these strategies in my 1st grade morning /calendar math time or possibly in small groups.

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Great to hear you will be able to use this in your classroom, Rebekah!

[@elizabethleiper3865]

Great video, as always! Can you explain why you don't show the 10 frames being filled from the bottom to top, left to right? Thank you!
