Teaching for the purpose of connecting ideas is what makes math learning meaningful.
Michaela Epstein@MathsCirclesOz
But, by doing small things to make your units more purposeful, students will start to see the connections between what they are learning. And, they'll realise that maths is something they can make sense of for themselves.

"We invest in students by investing in teachers." @DrBradJohnson So, let's give students every opportunity to experience rich, authentic math learning by providing PD opportunities for their teachers to experience rich, authentic math learning.

In their early math learning experiences, many children relish constructing mathematically sound ways to reason with number. This work, which illustrates the ability to engage as mathematicians, ends when teaching "standard" algorithms become the primary focus of math learning.
Pam Harris@pwharris
Many learners abandon their intuitive math sense in order to adopt the procedures being emphasized. Numeracy, at its heart, is using mathematical relationships to reason with numbers. We can help: mathisfigureoutable.com/mini1 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@HawksMathamagic @drMi Indeed: "Leaders of instruction who are charged with growing math teachers should also be pushing themselves on delivering more effective learning to grow teacher efficacy."
English
I love that the first point is to check our own math identity. Separate yourself from how you learned math. We are still tied to this practice of open the book to page x and let's copy each other mindset. The other point I connect with is allowing your kids to have a voice. A quiet math class should be a frightening place because if the babies aren't talking how do you know what they truly know? Dismantle antiquated practices please! Buttttt this is also an unpopular opinion - leaders of instruction who are charged with growing math teachers should also be pushing themselves on delivering more effective learning to grow teacher efficacy. Thank you for sharing the article!

Everyone can be a math person but first we have to make math instruction more inclusive. hechingerreport.org/opinion-everyo… The way math has traditionally been taught in classrooms, as a fixed discipline, right & wrong answers, has kept too many students from realizing these benefits.
English
Ending the cycle of impoverished math learning requires that teachers develop a different relationship and understanding of math. This can be achieve by PD that allows them to engage as active members of a content-focused, learning skills enhancing, knowledge-building community.

@melbrethour In order to use assessments to change outcomes, they must offer insight into what learners know and how they know it as well as provide insight concerning the quality and limitations of the assessments themselves.

When mathematics learning is focused on ideas - and more importantly the connection of mathematical ideas, it is interesting of itself. Mathematics does not have to be "gamified" or involve "real world" problem-solving to be interesting or relevant.
Michaela Epstein@MathsCirclesOz
Friendly reminder- on its own, maths can actually be interesting (not just a mechanical process for reaching some other goal)
English
The pedagogy of mathematics learning should be dynamic and robust because mathematics itself is dynamic and robust.
Melissa D@Dean_of_math
Math is about puzzling, problems and play. Math is also about procedures and precision. It's about inquiry and explicit instruction. It's time to embrace the full range of learning.

Hear The Number Lab's, Kevin Moore, discuss math with the host of Math Musings, Lauren Siegel @MathHappensOrg.

Yes, let's focus on learning instead of completing a series of routine "teacher tasks".
Melissa D@Dean_of_math
And that is exactly what I want to try to break free from -- this 'work' mindset, this list of things to do which may or may not result in learning.

Beautiful: "Yes, we can use math as a powerful tool. But we can also use math as a balm, a meditative diversion, and a window into the soul of the universe."
Sunil Singh@Mathgarden
The utility angle for learning mathematics is what we would call in 2024 "disinformation".
