Abs Everyday: Daily habits and the importance of routine to teach deep foundational number sense
Thursday November 5, 2026 2:40pm - 3:40pm EST
Piedmont 1
Gym rats know: Abdominal muscles recover quickly and are foundational to all other movement.
Teachers create the habits of the classroom. How do we develop deep foundational number sense that impacts virtually all of analytical thinking? What are "The Abs of arithmetic". We will present our argument for quick, engaging visual and structural daily routines that reliably build thinking over time.
