The big message I got today was equipment, equipment, equipment. It's hands-on, doing, which I know, but it's a good reminder. Portraying mathematical problems visually, such as below, took a bit to get my head around if I'm honest. The template, which we have met on previous days, where the problem is written in words, numbers and represented twice visually is great, and one which I will be using frequently.
I loved this online activity, and I know my Äkonga will also be engaged with this, while learning.
Number Strings: While I haven't had a formal title for this activity, I do feel like I already do this to some degree (didn't know it was a thing). I have formalised this in the class over the past week, and also have had students create their own, at their level, which I think was beneficial.

One last reminder for me, I need to print out this poster :)
Hi Sharon, hope you are having a great break from school! I really like the takeaways you've described, and how you're going to use them in your current programme. Materials are so important, whether physical or digital, for getting to grips with concepts, especially tricky ones. Polypad is so useful in this case for having materials to hand!
