SJT Math Club Activities Overview

In this video, Susan Jones introduces the 'Picture It' activity, a number sense routine for K-2 classrooms. She explains how to use images to engage students in mathematical questioning and provides examples with candles, roller coasters, and flamingos. The video also covers differentiation strategies and encourages teachers to let students discuss and compare their answers. Susan highlights the importance of integrating these routines regularly and offers resources through her SJT Math Club. The video concludes with a reminder to practice these routines consistently to enhance students' number sense.
