The Flessners (@cfless, @ryanflessner, the kids, and Kip the pup) are back w/ another math activity. In this first of four videos, we introduce a game, Guess My Sort, we learned from teachers in @MMSDschools. Watch for the next three videos to see how things progress! #yaymath pic.twitter.com/jxnNajiiot

In this Guess My Sort video (3 of 4), things start to come together. See what unfolds as @cfless and I try to stump the kids! #yaymath pic.twitter.com/QbfthGhhRo

Welcome to Guess My Sort video 2 of 4! @cfless and I are having a blast using this activity with the kids. We hope your class/family enjoys it as much as we do! #yaymath pic.twitter.com/7YKXmVJWcj

In this final (4th of 4) Guess My Sort video, things finally come together. See if your guesses were correct. If so, let @cfless and I know how you figured it out! #yaymath pic.twitter.com/FbfRF39Bz5

Welcome back to more math with the Flessners! Today, @ryanflessner and I engage our kiddos in #countingcollectionsathome. Kids likely have all kinds of things to count at home! In this video we introduce the items we gathered to count. pic.twitter.com/Rm9AqeCzEg

Next up in #countingcollectionsathome Abel explains how he counted the Q-tips. And spoiler alert, does some quick addition and subtraction within 1000 WITHOUT borrowing and carrying anything. #fluency. @ryanflessner #yaymath pic.twitter.com/kvIiwtlVjS

Welcome back to #countingcollectionsathome w/ The Flessners. Adelyn shows us how she counts the Monopoly pieces & a deck of cards. Don’t forget to have them document their representations and explain their mathematical thinking. Thanks @ryanflessner for the camera work! #yaymath pic.twitter.com/19reSczTmD

Our final #countingcollections at home task was the bag of coins. This one bag of coins offers so many possibilities for counting. Here I describe just a few! pic.twitter.com/sT1YpYzmFZ

The Flessner kids had a little bit more in them! Here they explain how they sorted and counted their coins. Next video they explain how they documented their mathematical representation. #yaymath @ryanflessner pic.twitter.com/FiUZKW9QR6

Finally, we ended our Flessner Family #countingcollectionsathome with how the kids documented their mathematical thinking. Don’t forget to follow @ekazemi @meganlfranke @Angelaturrou and #countingcollections for tons of ideas! #yaymath @ryanflessner pic.twitter.com/hDzIPZNPpM
