But when students are allowed to explore, experiment, and even get things wrong, they begin to build deeper understanding of numbers, measurement, and mathematical relationships.In this session, we walk through a real classroom example where students collect data, measure, and begin to make sense of mathematical ideas through experience before direct instruction.This approach helps students develop: • stronger number sense • deeper conceptual understanding • independence in problem solving • lasting math fluencyYou’ll also hear about the four stages of effective lesson design, including the often-missing step of pre-planning before instruction begins.This video is Session 2 of a 10-part series from our October Workshop focused on improving math instruction and helping students think more deeply about mathematics.If you work with students in math classrooms, intervention programs, or special education services, this series will give you practical strategies to improve learning and engagement.👍 Subscribe to Tier 1 Interventions for more strategies that improve math learning and student success.🔗 Get involved with Tier 1 Interventions coaching: Check the link in the show notes to join live sessions or access the full year of professional learning. Join one Mastery Math Method Workshop for just $47.Contact jonily@mindsonmath.com👇 Comment below: Where do you see kids getting stuck most often in math?⏱ Timestamps0:20 Review: Lockers, Rectangles, Pizzas Framework0:50 The Two Data Points Activity1:20 The “Five Pound” Story2:00 Understanding Weight and Comparison2:40 Difference as Distance on a Number Line3:20 A Lesson That Changed Direction4:05 The Importance of Pre-Planning4:40 The Four Stages of...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yu0S9TADYioZiMgS0K8G70kNyitiMSJLb8W43CSlH_A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ5MTcyLzE3MDY1/NDQ0NjctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
