Very proud and excited about the AAMT Pedagogy in Mathematics position paper. Every teacher and leader should read this!

Are boys more ambitious than girls?

Most boys think so.

This was found in almost all education systems participating in the latest Survey of Social and Emotional Skills.

The new Survey of Adult Skills shows that adults with higher skills often report greater life satisfaction and excellent health.

How can being more skilled contribute to these outcomes?

Are 15-year-olds being prepared to adapt and learn new skills in a rapidly evolving world?

@nomad_penguin It says “HITS have emerged from the findings of tens of thousands of studies on what has worked in classrooms across Australia and the world.”

@FionaFo46336659 @MathsNSW Love tangrams for exploring fractions too!

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

There are only 2 problems with using tests to assess learning: Right answers often don’t reflect real understanding, and wrong answers often don’t reflect the absence of understanding.

(Because the kind of learning tests are designed to assess isn't really about understanding.)

The Griffith Institute for Educational Research is an interdisciplinary coalition of researchers working to ensure that the benefits of educational and learning opportunities—wherever they take place, whenever they occur—can flow equitably to all members of our society.

In our new video series, hear from our members as they discuss the important research that they do. The third video is from Peter J. Anderson, PhD, SFHEA, MAIATSIS, FQA. His research explores the area of Australian Indigenous education, educational systems, curriculum and pedagogical interventions and the intersecting relationships with Indigenous peoples both globally and domestically.

@atsimaAU @drchris_maths @morriscaty I'm looking forward to including storytelling to support conceptual understanding with pre-service teachers. Thank you @dr_chris_maths

[MissFry5 @MissFry5]

Thanks for capturing and sharing @KateQMaths. I loved it too!

[Kate Quane (PhD) @KateQMaths]

So many key take away messages from the plenary session @icme_15 by #RinaZazkis and script writing in mathematics education. Very thought provoking!

@ddmeyer I'm afraid it's not just in Alberta...

[Dan Meyer @ddmeyer]

This is it—the quiet part out loud. One side here believes students have nothing in long-term memory, nothing of cognitive value they could bring to their own education. According to this orientation, which sees in students only deficits, no assets, they must be told everything.

@Trianglemancsd What kinds of resources? Apps? Textbooks? Online games?

I had a nice research discussion this afternoon with Claude, one of the latest Gen AI tools.

I asked Claude to summarise a well known concept, asked if my idea exists in the literature, and then worked together to critique and refine my idea.

Very useful and accurate.

Here are 12 dots on a 5x5 grid. No 4 of them make a square. But no matter where you add 1 more dot to this arrangement, a square gets made. (Check it!)

Can you place more than 12 dots on the grid and avoid making any squares?

If you're a teacher & this piques your curiosity...

@KrisWestcott1 How does anyone know what step by step instruction will matter to someone else? Personal connections, nuanced and diverse ways of understanding, parts or steps that are already known or unknown - what step by step instruction will fit every person’s needs?
