Episode 183 - The Count - Uncovering Mathematical Structure in Elementary Classrooms

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  To see this episode instead of just listen, go to https://www.youtube.com/BuildMathMinds  To get any links mentioned in the episode go to: https://buildmathminds.com/183   Get the special offer to join the Build Math Minds PD site at https://buildmathminds.com/special
