I really enjoyed attending Jo Boaler's Mathish Workshop in Stanford this January. The workshop introduced me to Jo Boaler's approach to maths education and her new concept of -ish numbers (teaching kids how to figure out the approximate answer before solving for the real answer). I really enjoyed her hands on learning approach and can't wait to use what I have learned in the classroom.

I've attended that workshop and found it very useful. Did you find it applicable for K or more for older grades and did she share useful resources? I hope you were able to collaborate with other math teachers and am always happy to dig deeper in to best practice around math any time.
