Had a student tell me that they don't like my class because I "make them think about stuff and that isn't what math is about.". #directquote
I worry that mathematics is too often taught as if it’s bad-tasting medicine that students just have to take, rather than teaching it with the purpose of showing off its beauty and elegance, and feeling joy when engaging in it. The Ontario curriculum makes a point in describing…
My blend of inquiry, direct instruction and assessment pedagogy will not be the same as your blend. And that's how it's supposed to be.
Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. Formative. The summative? The latest formative. “Time” runs out. Learning goes on.
Like everything in life, “practice makes perfect”, but practice should not be mandatory. Students have various goals they are trying to achieve at any given time, and they should not be penalized for having hobbies, part time jobs, and/or responsibilities outside of school.

It is with a saddened heart that the Generals organization express condolences for the passing of former left-winger, Pat Montgomery as well as Andrieana Montgomery. We send our prayers for healing to all those affected. #GensNation

So many kids graduate from high school thinking that learning is an unpleasant experience. They're excited to be done with it. They don't ever want to have to do it again. This is a tragedy.
Every parent and teacher should be required to read these two books. I think these two important and essential books should be at the top of every bestseller list. I highly recommend them to everyone. One lesson from both the books:
In Japan, teachers introduce a new mathematical concept by presenting an unfamiliar problem to students to grapple with on their own. Most of the students answer the new problem incorrectly, but the teacher guides the discussion to generate conversation about students’…
It's Mental Math Monday with guest @pgliljedahl! How would you mentally calculate 22.5% of 48?
Years ago, I was teaching a group of first graders how to solve addition problems by taking jumps on number lines I had printed out and laminated for them. After a series of problems like 4 + 3 and 3 + 4, and 1 + 8 and 8 + 1, one of the kids said “Does that always happen?” “Does…
Many pro-direct instruction folks are using a recent article from BNN as evidence against inquiry-based learning, thinking classrooms, etc. I respect these people as educators who, like me, want what's best for students. But, let's dig into what this study actually tells us.

The #omcaretreat2024 debate is giving all of us a lot to think about related to direct instruction and common assessment opportunities. Thank you Stephen Monica, Kelly Madigan, @CPerentesis and @SchaeferAng for debating these topics! @OMCAmath #debatemath
No province in Canada has moved more aggressively, or more consistently, to cut public funding to universities than #Ontario. @RandyFRobinson blogto.com/city/2023/12/o…
