Looks like I get to do that Fastt Math training 🙂 I went to a Ted Hasselbring session at the TRLD conference a while back (and yea, okay, I just have to figure out a way to get to that again. Hey, could they like do it in a complementary fashion for some makingmathreal training? […]

I have done (why cant I use apostrophes?) a powerpoint for the tens times tables and am mostly done the sixes. No, that is not the order I would present them in, but I wanted an easy one and a hard one so people could get a taste of what it is andsay whether they […]
