Episode 183 - The Count - Uncovering Mathematical Structure in Elementary Classrooms
Episode description
The Count is an activity from John SanGiovanni's book that turns simple counting into a deep mathematical exploration. In this episode, learn how this routine helps elementary students engage with Math Practice #7 by looking for and making use of mathematical structure. We'll break down how a seemingly simple counting sequence can develop number sense, encourage mathematical thinking, and create a low-pressure environment for pattern recognition.
Key Takeaways:
-
Learn what "The Count" activity is and how to implement it
-
Understand how counting can develop deeper mathematical thinking
-
Questions to help students look for and use the patterns created by the structure of numbers
