We’ve been getting the same results in math for decades: - lack of conceptual understanding - ill-prepared students for college and career - inequitable outcomes based on ethnicity/income We need the kind of change that only comes from a #MathRebel. I’m in. Are you? #ncsm19

I am in mad love with this number sense routine "Just the Facts." It's like a number talk/number string/same-different all mashed together creating a space for deeper reasoning and connecting to happen. Everything you need is right here: hcpss.instructure.com/course…

And we should ask ourselves, "How did the child lose faith in her mathematical skills?" Certainly not from anything she told herself before formal schooling started. Imagine if (like language learning) we simply built upon students' natural inclinations from the start xitter.gq/sig225/status/93623051…
Parent email: "You clearly have more faith in [my daughter's] mathematical skills than she does of herself" Me (inside voice): Yeah, that's literally my job.
