It really depends on Pinocchio’s mental state at the time the statement is made. His nose growth is a function of him intentionally lying, not being factual incorrect (otherwise we could use him as an oracle, and trivially demonstrate whether P=NP). The question boils down to whether making a confident statement without sufficient information to justify the confidence counts as a “lie”. Am I lying if I state “the outcome of this coin toss will definitely be heads”?
So excited to finally get my copy! It, like all the TLAC books, is so full of useful and applicable information. A big thank you to @Doug_Lemov and the TLAC team for putting this amazing book together. Also a huge shout out to all the teachers featured in the videos.
Oooh, who is up for a maths challenge? @TfL must have a mathematical minded person who posed this? And your answer is …… @Mathematical_A @SmithBrechon @Beamathsteacher@IMAmaths
So much on offer here, make sure you don't miss out on our free online workshops, suitable for any teacher that uses maths - #coremaths, A level maths, GCSE maths, geography, science, psychology....
Challenge and acknowledgement of the small stuff in equal measure. Shirts tucked in; tie on straight; equipment at the ready; knowledge folder tidy; walking quietly; “thank you for being so smart today”- it all says “I notice you. I see you. You matter to me”.
I'm looking forward to presenting a workshop with my colleague Matthew Dell tomorrow, considering how peer-to-peer support can help develop student confidence as academics in the online learning environment #StMarysFLT2021@YourStMarys@StMarysMastEd@TeachStMarys
