@MrAzSports Since 2001 there have been 16 different World Series winners with no back to back in that time-the NFL, the supposed exemplar of parity with their salary cap, has had 13 different winners with the chiefs and patriots winning 9 of those
@JackFritzWIP I have a shocking stat-the Phillies have never, ever won a postseason series in which they have lost the first game and won the series
Isn't that amazing? Ok, so you might say-have they lost series in which they have won the first game-I would say, yes 7 times
Every student has "prior knowledge" ....unless they are in a coma or unresponsive, you can, and should, access that prior knowledge in your lessons. The deficit mindset that corrupts most of our system views children as "lesser beings" who can only thrive when they are fed the proper knowledge from a trained professional. That mindset has most of our kids languishing in math class and most of our adults hating math. Stop treating kids like they are useless and helpless. Allow students to participate and have a voice in their schooling. We need to stop pretending that we are their only hope, because we are not, and the rest of society has begun to figure out that much of what goes on in school is not great for kids. #iteachmath
If Ss can't paraphrase a math text/word problem in their own words (without the numbers), they probably do not understand it. We must teach the reading for meaning of word problems first (like we teach reading for meaning for all other texts) LONG before Ss start solving them.
Until schooling got in the way, math played a key role in my life.
By grade 10 I was told math class wasnโt a place for me.
I was about 5 years into my career when I fully committed myself to math education.
Hereโs 20 things Iโve learned in the last 15 years. @DanShuster
Ohhhh man, the kindergarten ideas in this #WODB from @IllustrateMath. Made my week.
The circle has โpoints everywhereโ and โno specific corners!โ
Shape C has four sides because it has a gap in one side.

In Japan, teachers introduce a new mathematical concept by presenting an unfamiliar problem to students to grapple with on their own. Most of the students answer the new problem incorrectly, but the teacher guides the discussion to generate conversation about studentsโ mathematical thinking. Eventually, the teacher guides students in their thinking to uncover a solution, which is ultimately proposed by students, rather than the teacher #iteachmath https://t.co/2bTbTRaMD1
