@pwharris For this week's #MathStratChat I liked the 1st strategy I tried, Swapping & Give and Take. I liked Adding a Friendly Number-Over too. I practiced other strategies & found thinking of $$ and IHYN helped with the calculations #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd #abed

@pwharris 50.82 + 39.38 50 + 39 + 0.82 + 0.38 89 + 0.82 + 0.18 + 0.20 89 + 1 + 0.2 90.2 #MathStratChat

Fabulous strategies Jenny! And lovely flexibility! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathStratChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@pwharris B 1/4 Because 12/13 is not quite 1, and 6/11 is more than 1/2. Not quite 1 – more than 1/2 ≈ 1/4 #MathStratChat #iTeachMath

@pwharris In last week's #MathStratChat I swapped numbers by place value but only did it once & saw others doing it several times, so that is what I did this week :-) #abed #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@pwharris 4.96 + 9.38 4.96 + 0.04 + 9.34 5 + 9.34 --> 14.34 #MathStratChat

Check out these great combination strategies! Swap place values and then a little give and take, in 2 different brilliant ways! Way to go Melissa and Debbie! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathStratChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@pwharris Here's a better visual: #visualmath #mathstratchat #mathisfigureoutable

@pwharris 15k and 9 k is 24k, or 24,000. Set it aside for later. Now let's worry about 938 and 491... If I take 9 from 938 and put it on 491 I get 929 and 500, which is 500 and 429 and 500, which is 1000 and 429. So, 24,000 + 1000 + 429 is equal to 25,429 #mathstratchat

15,938+9,491 (rearrange digits to get largest 1st part) =19,991+5,438 (readjust to make multiple of 10,000 by +9,-9 20,000+5,429=25,429 Messy and needed jottings #mathstratchat

@pwharris Not so much fun with this week's #MathStratChat problem, probably due to my lack of flexibility with middle-of-the-road numbers. Nothing jumps out that says, "Hey brain, try this" but I tried a few strategies, some not so efficient. #MathIsFigureOutAble #ITeachMath #MathEd #abed

@pwharris 5^x=625 I know 625 is 25x25 I also know 25 is 5x5 So, 625 can also be expressed as 5^4. Therefore x=4 💥 #MathStratChat

@pwharris Here are 3 ways I thought about this week's #MathStratChat. Shared with our team today & most of us intuitively used the first strategy. Wonder if it's because of the numbers, 5s & 25s, which we have a lot of experience with. #abed #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
