What makes math Interesting Anyway? Where do you see the link between mathematics and creativity? What does it mean to be creative in math? What excites you in math? I'd love to hear some feedback on these ideas: buildingmathematicians.wordpress.com/2022/02/21/wha… #mtbos #iteachmath

I am excited to announce this year's OAME Leadership virtual event. Dr Rachel Lambert (@mathematize4all) will be sharing her session "Designing Equitable Mathematics from the Margins: UDL Math" with educators across Ontario. Register at: oame.on.ca/mcis/index.php… Pls retweet

I worry that mathematics is too often taught as if it’s bad-tasting medicine that students just have to take, rather than teaching it with the purpose of showing off its beauty and elegance, and feeling joy when engaging in it. The Ontario curriculum makes a point in describing this as a goal in mathematics learning. How incredible would it be if we approached the teaching and learning of math like this? dcp.edu.gov.on.ca/en/curriculum/…

Submit your proposal at mcis.oame.on.ca.

A four-year old student was telling me how these two are the same today @estelleash

@DHClements Surprised/ not surprised: “Second, the math that children know when they enter kindergarten is the best predictor of graduating high school, and number and arithmetic knowledge at age 7 years predicts socioeconomic status at age 42 (even controlling for all other variables).”

For all our kindergarten and primary math teachers, this is one you need to read:

List of endangered words in mathematics education Curiosity Beauty Joy Wonder History Play List of words being promoted in mathematics education Efficiency Effectiveness Practicality Careers Usefulness Competition We're not creating mathematicians. We're creating worker bees

People use “foundational knowledge” as an excuse for regressive pedagogies but no one can define it. All knowledge is foundational after you build on it.

@MNmMath @MFAnnie @ChristineLPercy @JJDLagrange @SueOConnellMath @martagarcia0901 @AnnEliseRecord @TalkNumber2Me @ClaireVerti @SarahMackAttack I too can make either work. Thanks for your leadership!

@MarkChubb3 Hi Mark, am wanting to share this chart for discussion and wondering who to attribute to? Is the use of the term dynamic from you or did you draw upon Dan Finkel's language here? (read your great blog post on this)

Let's think about the types of "Practice" our students experience: #elemmathchat

Thanks everyone for talking math tonight! Hopefully you are inspired to consider a few new ways to "practice" math in your classrooms! #ElemMathChat

@MNmMath Great point! Fill in the blanks doesn't allow for dynamics... doesn't allow for strategic competence or adaptive reasoning or productive disposition! #elemmathchat

@JJDLagrange These 5 things all interact. To be good at math means doing these 5 things at once. Often "practice" focuses simply on procedures... and then we are surprised when we have students who aren't thinking mathematically or who aren't seeing mathematics outside of the classroom

A7 I have wondered about this rope - does it combine both the content and practice standards? Or is it something extra? #ElemMathChat

Q7 - Final question #elemmathchat How can we make sure our students are "practicing" content while also engaging in these 5 strands?

@MathforLove 's quote here hopefully helps us consider what "practice" could look like in our classrooms! #elemmathchat

A4b - Hopefully we can see that students playing a game can include decisions... can include time to think and strategize, not just answering simple questions quickly. Build thinkers... not just mindless doers #ElemMathChat

Q4b - You have a few choices here to get close to 100 as possible... add 14 or 41... you can eliminate any of the 4 turns if you want. #elemmathchat
