10 for 10: Things We Love About the Collaborative
We call 10 a “friendly” number, a landmark, a benchmark. Whatever you call it, 10 is really big in early math. The Collaborative has spent the last ten years working with teachers to deeply understand our number system so that they can help young children unlock the power of 10!
In honor of our 10th year, we asked our staff what excites them about being part of the Collaborative. Here’s our “Top 10” List:
