My undergraduate advisor taught me that a student's wrong answer is often the right answer to a different question.

Why doesn't 4/8 + 5/8 = 9/16?

A great way to end the week is at an AVMR Network meeting! Coaches and administrators explored n-tiles instructional activities from Ready Set Math and had great conversations about how they support implementation at their schools @MathematicsFcps

Digging into the power of structuring and differentiating using the great race! ❤️ you’ve got to watch this session!

You’ve got to check out Dawn’s session.

This was such a good session on how to use multiplication settings! ❤️

AVMR 1 day 4 reflections, “participating in this class has helped me become more confident in my mathematical thinking”. “You will learn where students are on their math journey and how to continue to advance their math thinking” @USMathRecovery @MathematicsFcps

Hundreds of smiles as we elicited students thinking during AVMR Course 1 day 3. Capes, canes, readers, and pearls oh my! Thank you @EagleViewES for hosting @FCPS_ISD @MathematicsFcps

@moboland68 We are lucky to have you!!

I’m back being a principal at a school for a bit while they find a new one - and in my 3 months of retirement I think I forgot how tiring this is!!!

3 “As I would tell my students: Learning math is not just about numbers but the stories we tell ourselves about our capabilities, perseverance, and power to overcome.”

“Our beliefs about ourselves are shaped by the voices we hear, especially during our formative years. As educators, parents, and role models, we hold a responsibility in modeling these beliefs.”1

2 “Let’s champion a narrative where challenges are embraced as opportunities for growth, where the process of learning is celebrated more than the outcome, and where every child believes in their math potential.

@CubRunCousino @MathematicsFcps @NCTM Please consider applying for the grant to attend a future NCTM vctm.org/grant-first_ti…

Hope everyone is enjoying the @NCTM conference and learning lots! FCPS is in the house🙌🏼 #NCTMDC23

@CubRunCousino @MathematicsFcps @NCTM Thanks for advocating for teachers and professional learning. NCTM tends to be in DC every 5 years. They have first timer grants that will pay for registration. One school asked their pta to help cover their registration fees.

@dcrescitelli You aren’t alone!

Hey #NCSM23! Make sure you look up in our spaces! There is lots to #notice and #wonder… beautiful math!

I am absolutely honored to be on this team!!
