@Jason_To 💯 agree. I heard this recently as well. I thought of ALL the things we should be watering (supporting), it’s THOSE people. For the sake of students, and those professionals.

HWY 413 isn’t a done deal! Ontario residents concerned about this problematic project are invited to an in-person public forum taking place in Woodbridge on May 9 to talk issues & solutions. See you there!🚌 #StopHWY413 @STOPthe413NOW @envirodefence @ecojustice_ca

"Teaching is complex endeavor....". More from the HOT Podcast episode on the 7-Figure Educator podcast with Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas is now officially LIVE! 🎉 Lean in... its a great conversation about education and business.

Sometimes... Just listening...No commenting... No questioning...No responding....Just LISTENING can be the best way to gain insight about a student's thinking.

In other words, we all just need to keep quiet for a minute.🙂

You do not need a PhD or a position at a university to be a researcher in education. The most power, compelling, authentic, relevant research is conducted by teachers every single day in their classrooms with their students.

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

@JaelRichardson @kmlovesjc Same! This is refreshing to hear. I just assumed I must be the only one, and I have begun to wonder how I sound to others.

[Cathy Marks Krpan @CathyMarksKrpan]

Sometimes, to focus on more explicit thinking, we ignore the subtle, often viewed as mundane part of thinking in think-alouds (such as pauses, hmms, hesitations, short wonderings/questions etc., ) These are essential & can be transformative for Ss in terms of dispelling misconceptions about
what effective thinking in math entails.

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

The quadratic formula is one of the most well known formulas, but how do we know that it works? Here's how we can derive it!

[Ashley Kozak @abmac4]

@Bell @Canada The fact that we do not have nation-wide free access to captioning landline phones is disgraceful. I can no longer call my aging mother bc she can’t hear on the phone,& doesn’t have a cell. We should have landline options. Do better.

[Cathy Marks Krpan @CathyMarksKrpan]

Whether we like it or not, the assessment criteria we use in mathematics continually answers the question, What is mathematics? for our students each day.

We need to select and co-construct criteria with care.

[Cathy Marks Krpan @CathyMarksKrpan]

Think-alouds should be an integral part of teaching mathematics

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school: The Euclidean algorithm

[Mike Flynn @MikeFlynn55]

My team and I are creating a bunch of free math tasks to spark thinking, curiosity, and joy for students. Let me know if you’d like to test any out with students. #iteachmath #buildingthinkingclassrooms l
