I agree that as middle school teachers we do not have the elementary math background. I found Christina Tondevold on Build Math Minds a couple of years ago and I started listening to her podcasts and attending her virtual summits to learn more about how elementary math is now being taught. She calls herself a “Recovering Traditionalist” as she was taught using algorithms. Her work has helped me re-form my thinking about some of the practices I use in my middle school classes.
