Today’s episode is all about counting—but not just any kind of counting. We’re diving deep into how kids think about numbers, quantity, and patterns… and we’ve got the perfect guest to guide us.
I’m thrilled to welcome Christopher Danielson to the show. If you’ve ever stumbled across Which One Doesn’t Belong or How Many?, you already know Christopher’s work gets students—and adults—thinking more deeply about math in ways that feel playful, thoughtful, and refreshingly human.
We are chatting about:
- What is counting
- Why does counting matter
- How to support students through counting
Links mentioned in this episode:
- 📘 Which One Doesn't Belong?
- 📘 How Many? A Counting Book
- 📘 How Did You Count?
- Christopher's Website
- Math on a Stick
- Visual Patterns
