Excited to share more materials I’ve been a part of @NewsAtNESA. Annotated work samples for Stage 2&3 Additive relations noticing students’ working mathematically https://t.co/OdQYxWAypK links well to @aamtinc latest mis[sing]conception re equality v computation strategies!

All the phones went up when this quote went up.

"Young people do not hate math. They hate feeling confused, embarrassed, and humiliated by math."

The routine "As Close As It Gets" helps sts think abt relationships bc the correct answer isn't there.

How could you use this in your teaching?

New Problem String!

I've just written this for next week's free "You Can Change Math Class" Challenge!

What should the last problem be?
453 - 199
453 - 197
453 - 195
Other?

So many connections as kids make sense using color! #LearnwithIM

Wise words from John Mason (2001)

[katherin cartwright @kath_cartwright]

Yes to this!

[Sunil Singh @Mathgarden]

Your attitude about mathematics will play a big role in shaping your students' attitude about mathematics. Their attitude will shape their identity with mathematics.

Be open, vulnerable, honest, and curious. It's far more important than being correct and loaded with strategies.

@HumanEd_Au Explicit teaching doesn’t need to be ‘teacher telling’ and doesn’t need to start the lesson. Sometimes the best place for explicit teaching is AFTER Sts have explored a concept/problem. I love using launch, explore, summarise. I also really love the term ‘intentional’ teaching.

[Kim Montague @kimmontague]

So good.

Keen to hear what other teachers think about using ‘what do you know’ to connect to prior knowledge @allisonhintz124 @ekazemi @MandyMathEd @pwharris https://t.co/vqFYDpqI5t @primarylearnau #primarylearning

[Next Gen Contexts for Learning Mathematics @CFLM_math]

We cannot just hold up a model and assume that children see what we as adults see.

The math is not in the model.

The math is in the child’s head.

[Cathy Marks Krpan @CathyMarksKrpan]

Manipulatives do not have meaning. We attribute meaning to them, based on our interactions with them. Need to ensure that Ss understand that one manipulative can be used to represent many concepts. Is it about creativity & diversity in thinking.
