Well, it’s official. PEMA is off the ground! Long Island Partnership for Equitable Mathematics Acceleration has been formed. Purpose: To promote equitable acceleration practices - because everyone can do math levels with the right experiences and the right mindset! #ITeachMath
🔥 HOT TAKE 🔥:
Most schools have multiple reading specialist, but it seems like many schools don't have the same for mathematics.
If the US wants to close the gap on mathematics with other countries we should spend the same effort on math as well do reading. #iteachmath
@ScottCo40988898@NCTM@DianaMathampton Not at all, haha. That would be BS if anyone were to claim that. But education is currently inequitable. And as educators we should do our part on the local level to help solve that problem! 😁👍🏼
Schools looking to leverage technology to continue instruction during #coronavirus... except in high poverty districts where kids don’t have access. The great division continues. #equity
Art is not a reward.
Music is not a reward.
Playing outside is not a reward.
Reading books of choice is not a reward.
Field trips are not a reward.
Food is not a reward.
Being able to move in a classroom is not a reward.
Children are human beings & should be treated as such.
My very first blog post. I would love your thoughts! #iteachmath#mtbos

Ok. On the list of skills that Ss really need for life, where does knowing how to mult 8.63 x 1.97 by hand rank on that list? Be honest with me. #iteachmath#MTBoS
Which of these bushfire relief donors was the most generous?
What's your ranking? What information matters here? What would your students say?

Students who are starting in an intervention group were asked, “How do you feel about math?” ⬇️😢⬇️. I need your top ideas on how to change these kids’ minds. #MTBoS#iteachmath
WEALTH INEQUALITY: The richest 1% controls more wealth now than at any time in more than 50 years. But what does wealth inequality really look like?
@TonyDokoupil turned America’s economic pie into a real one and asked people a simple question: Who gets what?
Students who took PE before their math class had greater achievement than students who had PE after math class. Maybe we need to look at schedules to help struggling Ss? #iteachmath
Did you know? Canada’s Commander-in-Chief and Governor General, Julie Payette, is an astronaut. She’s an inspiration for girls in science for sure!🚀 Here she is at my old workplace last year. #MakeSpaceForWomen
