There's a brand new book for K-2 teachers! In this episode, Pam and Kim discuss how strategies in early mathematics build upon each other and increase in sophistication for future learning.

Talking Points:

• Strategies build on each other, algorithms do not
• The importance of building relationships and mental actions in students' brains
• Get to Ten grows up to Get to a Friendly Number
• Add Ten grows up to Add a Friendly Number 
• How the Over and Give and Take strategies help students think outside the problem
• Ways developing strategies allows for differentiation
