(High) school math is so out of touch… “There is a difference: How much math is there in the CURRICULUM and college? Or how much math is there in your REAL WORK as an engineer?” cc: @conradwolfram @NCTM youtu.be/MhanyR5Rfk0

Instead of marking that math task, consider looking at it, finding examples of interesting student work, sharing those examples with the class, and continuing the learning. No marking. No writing. Just learning.

Years ago, @Mathowitz introduced me to Circle Tic Tac Toe. Yesterday, I decided to put a seasonal twist on it and create Spider Web Tic Tac Toe for Halloween. mathequalslove.net/spider-web-tic… #mtbos #iteachmath #puzzlingclassroom

I decided to put a seasonal twist on a classic chess puzzle to make a new Halloween Puzzle for my students to tackle as one of this week's puzzles. Can you solve the 8 Bats Puzzle? mathequalslove.net/8-bats-hallowe… #mtbos #iteachmath #puzzlingclassroom

Math classes often ask for you to check yourself at the door, that in there you are the ‘mathematician’. Becoming a mathematician doesn’t mean you need to shapeshift. Your unique lived experiences are inherently mathematical.

I think most teachers have a vision of a classroom with lots of engagement + collaboration—but I also think most of us encounter quiet, reluctant classrooms at the beginning of the year. And that quiet/reluctance can quickly become the norm, right? Here are 3 things that I try:

One thing I do once I have my class rosters: make a Google Sheet that includes: 1⃣ their top value from our opening activity; 2⃣ a strength I see over the first quarter; and 3⃣ a checklist to see who I've made a positive contact on. Small thing that shifts what I'm looking for.

Hi @codeorg ! I love your Outbreak Simulator activity! Do you have a version that includes a time series graph of susceptible, infected, and recovered? Thank you!

Where's the math leadership in education that consistently rails against the negative impacts of standardized testing. Without it, I am not sure leadership is a title that can be claimed with any degree of honesty.

Used this task again today - they solved the initial problem more quickly than last year, so I asked them “what would a mathematician want to investigate next?” and gave them time to explore a direction of their choice.

I rarely see anyone in math education take aim at this. To offer changes to math education and NOT addressing this is a cause for concern.

About 40 years ago I prepared some resources for before-school, after-school, and Saturday morning maths clubs. I found some of them last week, and thought I would share them more widely. Please feel free to use in whatever way you like: bit.ly/45o6DSV

3/3 And this paradoxical insight from @DLabaree: "Dewey's undiminished prominence in the realm of educational ideas is a sign of his failure in changing America's schools," whereas many of the behaviorists are forgotten precisely because their ideas have triumphed."

When teachers complained to Ted Sizer about a kid, he’d gently reframe by asking “What does this student need from you?”

For me, it’s about where authority resides for what counts as ‘true.’ Students are either justifying why something is true OR they are being asked to just accept that it is true.
