Strengthening Number Understanding through Units Coordination
Friday November 6, 2026 12:10pm - 1:10pm EST
Winston 3B
Why do students start back at "one" every time they add? It’s all about the numerical composite—that "lightbulb moment" when a child sees "8" as a container of units rather than just a sequence. This shift is pivotal to moving from counting-all to efficient counting-on. We will watch videos of students, analyze their thinking, discuss tasks, and share useful structures for formative assessment.
