The names we give numbers are language, but the meaning behind the numbers is mathematical. Helping students separate the two gives them space to focus on what the numbers actually represent.

Love me some Vanessa!
Always a good conversation. Not always about math or teaching. Always interesting!

It is mathematical behavior to ask 'What do I know?' and 'How can I use what I know to know something else?'
Lovely proportional reasoning Kathleen! Scaling up and down in tandem, combining pieces that make sense and staying in context. Super!

Give students real opportunities to count, use what they counted, and notice when something doesn’t add up. Those experiences help students understand that counting represents an amount—and that amount matters.

Rather than stressing why one doesn't belong, emphasize what the other three have in common. Discussion is key! Do it for each quadrant!
