Games are so important in math class. They create experiences with a low cost of failure. Students are encouraged to take risks, be creative, and be strategic. I share a selection of games here: bit.ly/mifgames #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school

Why can't we divide by 0? (The difference between 1/0 and 0/0)

See below for a very important paper supporting us to let maths be what it is meant to be 🛼🙏

Very proud and excited about the AAMT Pedagogy in Mathematics position paper. Every teacher and leader should read this!

Another way to think about the "greater than" and "less than" signs without relying on alligators

Students don't need a perfect teacher. Students need a happy teacher, who's gonna make them excited to come to school and grow a love for learning.

@themathguru shared this cycle of math fear our students experience in the classroom. Avoidance makes the anxiety worse. #cmcmath @CAMathCouncil

Drawing attention to the numerator and denominator. #1001MathsBots mathsbot.com/tasks

Friendly reminder- on its own, maths can actually be interesting (not just a mechanical process for reaching some other goal)

In our Journey virtual learning community this week, we leaned into what it means for us as adult learners to grow our mathematics. Is it always vertical? What does it look like to grow horizontally (deepen the content)? #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
