@mathematize4all I love Swivl for data collection. The lapel mic works in tandem with the camera to track and record teacher/student interaction and dialogue. With additional "drop points" you can also capture small group discussion around the room.
These Math Flips flashcards are a great way to encourage relational thinking rather than answer getting. Thanks @BerkeleyEverett! https://t.co/NwVY2J6hd4
I feel this.
"Low students"
"High students"
"They are in the wrong class"
"Their parents don't support education"
If you don't believe in YOUR BONES that all students you teach can succeed what are you even doing here?

If you're an elem teacher, you'll love this video from @gfletchy where he breaks down how students learn about + and -.

Future teachers often think memorization is the best way to teach math and science – until they learn a different way via @TC_Africa https://t.co/Eees8IwBa7
Let’s start a demanding a world that focuses on this. Kids don’t need to master basic facts to access grade-level appropriate work! @IamCPS @ifugetgive #UnboundEd
@jfa4usa I completely agree, however, there still exists a big gap between real and ideal here. Our future teachers must learn by doing - through successes and FAILing forward (First Attempt in Learning) - opportunity we are striving to provide.
Educators have the power to change - student perceptions, instructional practices, opportunity...I am always discouraged by the number of pre-service teachers who share negative experiences and lack of self-confidence in mathematics. Together, we can change the narrative #TCMchat
@TheHansolo13@dalehanson82 Some suggested reading...Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck and Mathematical Mindsets by Jo Boaler. I would also suggest (and might have shared at UWP) that you sign up for https://t.co/nLfoINPKBY
@TheHansolo13@dalehanson82 This number is large...in some places. Again, resources are doing a better job of supporting teachers in differentiating the learning. The unfortunate truth is that teacher confidence, competence, and pedagogical practices are the most meaningful starting point for a solution.
@TheHansolo13@dalehanson82 UGH...while I wish this was not the narrative, Trevor, I have heard this SO many times. There is a lot of truth in the adage "success breeds success." We need to structure learning that fosters this opportunity, build upon it, and work diligently to provide opportunity for all.
@MathRocks73 I'm a firm believer in PLNs and PLCs - Build a network, create learning opportunities, form a learning community of dedicated practitioners...It has to be organic - imposed change never works well. Start small and let the synergy build
@MathRocks73 I believe educators need confidence & competence in mathematics -Next- embrace and model a Growth Mindset;celebrate mistakes as opportunities for learning;engage ALL children in rich and challenging mathematics;embrace the reality of Not Yet - then create opportunity for learning
