Your blocks at 2:03 inspired me to get Lego out and this worked a treat with my 5 year old. It made a real breakthrough as we had been using number lines with a lot of frustration.

[@chloecassie3571]

Hi Susan! Just wondering, could you possibly do a video on how you taught Symmetry to Kindergarten learners! Much love!

[@EMBL2011]

Thank you for the video! With covid I last minute decided to homeschool my kids and my one son is in kindergarten. He is delayed and I really want to help him learn these concepts well. I'll check out the links you posted.

[@kanj6286]

Thank you Susan, this was really helpful. With a child that has gdd and home learning as we deal with covid, I struggled with the hands-on teaching. This has answered a lot of questions on technique.

[@dontfit6380]

Kan j: In homeschooling there’s no such thing as gdd. No child should be compared with other children. We all learn differently.

[@LeeKo-dj3vs]

Thank you! Am trying to prepare my daughter for school and creating a foundation. I appreciate this.

[@russellgrant1535]

Great video and explanation. I’ve used your information to teach my children to read. Always my first source of guidance when I’m looking to teach my young twins.

[@krisnaisapenalosa4915]

Thank you so much for the idea.. Its a big help for me to teach math in the first grade level

[@dh2766]

I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@MrRICHARDGOMEZ]

Thanks Susan. I'll apply this tips to my grandson.

[@lindagilmartin3610]

I will be teaching summer school in Kindergarten, which I don't do during the school year so this video was FANATASTIC!

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

So happy to hear my video was helpful for you, Linda! Good luck with the Kindergarteners!

[@user-ye4bz7ph2m]

How long would you spend on addition with these methods? Days?Week?

[@lukakabongola3674]

I'm really enjoying your lessons madam

[@k-5-augmentedbarbee347]

I was unable to find Magic bag addition on tpt.

[@user-hk4ml7uc5x]

I LOVE IT

[@jacobpeel5875]

hi that video was so helpful to my kids do you think you could make a video on how to teach time?

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Thank you! I have a video on teaching time right here if that helps :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJi0oGVje9Zkgrs

[@Coolkidsvloggers7106]

Thanks dear

[@rainuh5514]

Thank you so much, I showed this to my 4 year old child, and now he's teaching me how to do calculus.

[@insanityplz]

Haha love it!

[@mirroravis]

Duplo single legos work AMAZING in place of counting cubes.

[@Shayvideos1]

I teach this way but I'm getting a bit nervous as I've been seeing how their teaching kids to not count like this and to learn patterns and placement values to quickly come up with the sum amount.

[@madhumadhavi6765]

Can you please do video on the decomposing numbers using number bond? And do video on how many ways to make a number 7(2+5=7 , 3+4=7)

[@greenbeerman]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/emPSZ4B6pbFkrJI&ab_channel=MassachusettsDESE That is the best video I have seen on decomposing. It is long but so worth it. I use her movie theater idea throughout the year and my kiddos love it. I also use her 5 little ducks (and change the number sometimes) song with cubes. My students really grasp the concept of decomposing and can independently do the worksheets by end of year.

[@TheresiaMwetulundila-vv2qh]

I love this.pls send more to my what's up ..I'm teacher of kindergarten..show me how to teach addition to 4 to 5 years old

[@TheresiaMwetulundila-vv2qh]

Before you teach mathematics sign.greater than.less than..pls make a video of ths

[@jackdeanda2311]

Awesome

[@nicolasdecicilia9195]

y LOVED this activity kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoSxaIqeidd6rrs .......... BUT i t think that using a BLUE 6 in the upper right corner may be misleading...also the RED 6 after the "=" that is written in crayon...i mean, for total sum i think i should use black, or any color different from blue or red

[@logeswaryganason6553]

Hi, you said free print & play addition games but there are all need to pay. Please don't lead us the wrong way when our salary is less to purchase all these right😅. Please tell us if there are free print copies. It's okay if doesn't have. Thanks.

[@triciasuglian4507]

Be careful with the word equal in kindergaten. In the examples given, students will associate equals with "is the answer." A better habit is to say "is the same as" or "makes a total of."

[@bumblebee2227]

I'm unsure about this. It's called an equal sign... why teach anything else?

[@veniqer]

It's an equation. Equations should balance. So each side should equal the other side.

[@randommadnessgaming3770]

As a teacher, are you polite to your kids and never raise your voice? Hello

[@ReneeKemmy]

I'm a mother who feels so bad for constantly raising my voice in frustration

[@salifehk2320]

Thank you very much! I just followed your IG account and those tips there are very useful!
