Common Core Math (even if your state retitled it)

An op-ed that gets it. A student that figures out how to solve one problem, any problem, on her/his own has learned something far more useful than a student who has "mastered" 100 standards. #edchat #mathchat #mtbos washingtonpost.com/local/educatio…

The definition of who is gifted appeared to change as you walked across the hallway. Appalachian experiment by @krambohernandez and research team has implications for @NYCSchools mew plan for finding Gifted and Talented children hechingerreport.org/proof-points-h…

1 out of 5 U.S. adults under 65 dropped out of college and don't have a degree. A survey of those who succeeded in returning finds a wide range of things that helped them come back. (3/3) hechingerreport.org/proof-points-l…

In 2017, 69M adults had low (English language) numeracy skills, significantly greater than the number of adults with low skills in 2012/2014. Discover trend data from #PIAAC in our #DataPoint: nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubs…

“The really big effects were concentrated in the dismantling of de jure segregation in the South. You just really see very little impact in the North, but very, very strong effects in the South.” bit.ly/3wuiUpc

ACT study finds that the trend of rising GPAs accelerated after 2016 and intensified during the pandemic bit.ly/3Mnkkay

@watanabeKSU @NYSEDNews 31.4% (65% scaled) on the New York exam means a student has done well enough in math not just to get into the next grade, but to graduate high school with a @nysednews "Regents" diploma.

@CCSSIMath @NYSEDNews I don't have any official data, but I suspect 27/86 (31.4%) on the math portion of the entrance exam will probably let the students "pass" into some of the publich HSs in Chiba prefecture.

@GovBoard @AERA_EdResearch Would RT if the article were not paywalled.

Interested in #EdResearch? Check out this study from @AERA_EdResearch that finds that increases in academic standards failed to increase student performance in a data set of #NAEP scores from 1990 to 2017. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.310…

The general slope/𝑦-intercept eqn of a line would be better expressed as 𝑦=𝑏𝑥+𝑐. It's consistent with the general eqn of a parabola 𝑦=𝑎𝑥²+𝑏𝑥+𝑐, and the 𝑐 is consistent with the constant used in integral calculus. How many books use 𝑦=𝑚𝑥+𝑏? #mathchat #mtbos

Many are understandably disillusioned with the idea that everyone should get a college degree. One alternative is a shorter vocational certification. Lawmakers in DC are debating whether to increase federal funding for them. A thread on short-term certificate programs.

Students have experienced slower growth rates and lower achievement levels in math/reading during the pandemic. Negative impacts were larger among students of color and students experiencing poverty. brook.gs/3DL5eXV

Commissioner Peggy Carr notes that the 2020 long-term trend results are the latest to show declining scores for students who are struggling in math and reading. See the math results: nationsreportcard.gov/ltt/mathematic… #edequity #edchat

@jillbarshay Yes, the rise of social media as a replacement for literature is a reasonable theory, too.

@CCSSIMath Yes, this is one of the leading theories. But it’s hard to prove so far. It could also be that our phones and iPads are very distracting.

The root causes of why American school children are reading worse than they used to is up for the debate. Curriculum is one possibility and Ed Reports, an independent reviewer of lessons, gave a thumbs down to another popular reading programs used in U.S. schools this week.

Years ago, there was a computer program like the video game Space Invaders. Floating down from the top were problems like 4×6 and 7×9 you would type in answers (in any order) to destroy them. Anyone remember the name? It was like this, but better: mathsonline.com.au/games/times_ta… 2/2

Recommendations for a phone/tablet app to drill addition and times tables that can be controlled and monitored by a teacher (a la KA or IXL)? Preferable: up to 9s (not 12s) adaptive timed to promote speed requires manual entry of answers, not MC #math #edchat #mathchat #mtbos 1/2
