We had a great few hours with a representative from Everyday Math yesterday. This woman was very knowledgeable, and taught the program herself for many years. As I was spending some time in Mrs. Mink's 1st grade classroom this morning, she was explaining to the students that she is learning the importance of being able to talk about math and the way that we solve problems. One of her students had just completed a make up math test, and had done a very nice job of explaining a time question. Mrs. Mink had this student model for the entire class the process in which she found her answer. You can see this process in the short video clip below. I will keep the blog updated on the district's decision regarding a new math curriculum.
