In this week's episode, we are continuing our deep dive into learning trajectories for counting and how to teach counting and develop counting skills for young students. Counting is an area where students need a lot of practice to really develop their number sense and ability to count accurately.

Today's focus is Figurative Counters. I’ll go over what a figureative counter is, what to look for, and give you some ideas of math centers and activities you can do to support students in this level of counting.

While getting a refresher on Culturally Responsive Education, I realized how much the strategies in Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain match up with Building Thinking Classrooms, but Culturally Responsive Teaching was written at least 5 years before BTC.

Math is often a subject that is not known to be “Culturally Responsive.” Then why does BTC seem to work so well? In this episode, I outline the similarities and encourage you to try it in your classrooms through the lens of Culturally Responsive Education.

One of my least favorite standards to work on is counting to 100. 🧮 It takes a long time and it's abstract and the students who need to practice the most often don’t when we count together. So how do we get students to practice counting when they don’t want to? In this week’s episode, I give 8 ideas for rote counting, counting backward, and skip counting!
