@robertkaplinsky Very inspiring article - thanks for sharing, Robert.

I love this timeless article from Steven C. Reinhart about teacher moves in the math classroom that help get kids doing more of the communicating (instead of the teacher). One of my absolute favorites: hybridalgebra.pbworks.com/f/Never+Say+An…

@robertkaplinsky Very inspiring article. Thanks for sharing.

@marygtroche Sorry for your loss Mary.

At around this time, 2 years ago, we held our beloved Mom's hands as she left us. She was one in a gazillion. She will never be forgotten. Understated, mild-mannered, gentle, and loving, yet a strong woman who was the central pillar of our home.

@howie_hua Go Huwie! I love your ideas!

Can you believe it? I am now a math instructor at The University of Saskatchewan! Go Huskies! I didn't get a job here or anything. I'm just a math instructor physically on their campus.

@Milliganreports @theage Congratulations Louise!

“I simply didn’t want the book to end given the sheer delight of the story-telling. Pheasants Nest is a stunning debut.” I grew up reading book reviews in @theage, so seeing this amazing first newspaper review of my novel tonight makes me weep with joy.❤️ theage.com.au/culture/books/…

@bradpsychology @gwendabgilbert This is also a good book, though fiction, to understand indigenous culture back in 1788!

Dark Emu is trending. This book provides well documented insights into complex Aboriginal cultures. Bruce Pascoe’s new book also looks great. Retweet to upset RWNJ trolls.

@KathrynMorgan_2 Thanks Kathryn 😀

One for us all: how useful/impactful is Twitter (X) as a form of professional learning for teachers? Open access: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Interesting article that makes a lot of sense! #aare Toddlers and teens: the news educators and parents need right now blog.aare.edu.au/toddlers-and-t… via @AustAssocResEd

@robertkaplinsky It may be gradual but you do not need to fill up so often.

Does upgrading from a standard model car to the hybrid equivalent pay for itself with saved gas money? robertkaplinsky.com/work/hybrid-ca…

@HumanEd_Au @MrDixonMath @cpwaikiki @RyanMath6284 I consider it more collaborative learning and a chance for students to see that there are equally valid ways of solving a problem.

@MrDixonMath @cpwaikiki @RyanMath6284 Btw I have never really considered how Number Talks are discovery learning... Although I suppose we are, as a group, we are discovering... I'd consider it more an explicit teaching & learning experience where explicit T & L is collaborative - most from students, led by teacher

I’m convinced that these are the reasons people don’t like number talks: A. Untrained in the practice B. Don’t value student thinking or different cultural insights C. Don’t like Jo Boaler D. Think it’s discovery learning #mtcoz #mtbos #iteachmath

@MrDixonMath @maths_vic Great ideas James!

Last year I wrote about #lego in the maths classroom. Thanks to @maths_vic this article is now open-access. I hope you find it useful! #mtbos #mtcoz #iteachmath drive.google.com/file/d/1XkFtkW…

Have tried 4 pharmacies to try to get RAT tests and they are all out it. Is there a shortage now?

Happy Christmas to all!

@surfmaths @kath_cartwright I think your idea of linking warm up and main task is very good. As you suggest, it can model helpful strategies for students to use in their own investigations.

@kath_cartwright My experience as a teacher is if I regularly connect the prelim and main tasks, then students are anticipating/ looking for these connections... I am interested in others thoughts about this though, as it is clearly an important consideration.

Awesome read! I love the idea that preliminary tasks “give Sts access to more tools to apply…” I found some Sts don’t realize the pre-task is related to the problem and therefore don’t make the connection - I’m wondering @surfmaths how can we help them do this without ‘telling’?
