I am so bad, in the past I would tell my struggling students to take out their “Primary Calculator” (their ruler) and use it to solve their work.
No more. I love learning new terms like “Subtrahend and Minuend”. Can’t wait to drop that one in the staff room.
I see Kindergarten student teachers rushing counting strategies. I need to share today’s concepts with my staff.
I will have to think of a less pejorative name for student’s rulers. ? Self-powered calculator?
