I am in a new position as a Math Intervention teacher for K-2 after having taught 5th grade math for 15 years. This is my 25th year teaching. It has been a HOT minute since I taught little ones so I am devouring your videos and I am working on getting items from your TPT store to use with my Tier 3 students. Thanks for the resources and great ideas!

[@sabinahadzic4721]

Dear Susan. Thank you so much for great ideas. I am a home day care provider and I am able to use lots of your ideas. Thanks. Just keep filming.

I bought the number sense unit last year. My students love it!

[@lisamazzuca9546]

I loved your Roll and Build last year with my Kinders! They were able to look at the different towers and quantify them, such as,"Oh, my six tower is greater than or more than my two tower!" The kids LOVED this activity. Thank you for all of your resources! 😊

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

LOVE that!!

[@TheKnallkorper]

This is so helpful. My first year was complete chaos and I want my second year to be the best year ever! I am so excited to get back in the classroom and make it so much fun

[@JL7ify]

Love this!!!! Thank you so much!

[@trinataylor3062]

I retired but I like you so much that I am still watching your videos.

[@mrs.macaluso695]

Great ideas! Thank you! Where did you get the buttons?? I love them!

[@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher]

I’m not sure where Susan purchased hers, but I bought mine at the dollar store. You can also buy little “jewels” to use instead - my students love it!

[@AJ-tt6rd]

So fun! Thank you!!!!

Hi Susan Thanks for your amazing videos👏👏 If doing a particular maths topic e.g. the commutative property of numbers is there a quick way of searching your videos to source one? I looked at your maths posts and didn’t come across one specific to commutative property but May not be searching properly….. Tks again for all your inspiration P xx

[@matiquegooden-tomlinson3189]

Excellent ideas, thank you.

[@patsyrogalski8658]

Thank you for the Great ideas.Have a Blessed Day❤️

[@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher]

I completely agree with you on letting them explore the math manipulatives before they need to use them in a lesson - I mean, unless y’all prefer to have geoboard rubber bands launching across your room all year. 😆 By the way, I purchased ALL your math bundles last year when you were having a huge sale and I LOVE IT! We use it daily and my students are engaged and absolutely love the activities. Thank you!!!

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

hahaha exactly!! I can SEE the rubber bands flying right now! Thank you so much for your kind words!!

[@erinsmith6623]

I love your math unit on number sense. Where did you get the buttons?

[@ttchang9]
