Saying bye (until October) to Brad Witzel and the Kansas Math Project team! I am SO excited about this project that will be used with every Kansas teacher across grades preK-12. @ksmtss

Is the de-emphasis of math fact memorization similar to "balanced literacy" in the reading education world? #ksleg #ksed

[Lara Shkilnyk @LaraS_EDU]

Since October, we have been using retrieval and interleaving in math, retention of information has been sky high. It takes 5-10 mins at the beginning of each class, with not a significant amount of planning. It also gives me such formative data on how to proceed with instruction.

@sarahpowellphd Well deserved, Professor Powell!!

Three years ago, in the "grace period" at the start of the school year, I had all of my 7th grade math students review everything they should have learned in math up to that point - from basic addition to negatives and percentages - by working their way through a sequence of self-instructional, self-checking math materials one concept at a time.

Later that year, one of the most conscientious students in that group moved out of the district. On her last day, she gave me a card. In it she wrote, "Thank you so much for starting us all the way back at the beginning. I wasn't ready for the 7th grade stuff at all."

First rule for math teachers: assume nothing.

“Cognitive scientists say that learning 6 x 7 and 8 x 9 by heart frees up the brain’s working memory so that students can focus on the more demanding aspects of problem solving.”

Thrilled to be in #Kansas all week with the @ksmtss team and the Kansas Math Project! We're here in Dodge City today and tomorrow then taking the road show to Lawrence. These modules focus on math progressions, systematic instruction, and data-based decision making.

"Grade inflation struck all high school subjects, ACT found, but it was highest for math" and "The losers here are students who still need to understand math – no matter what their grade." Yep.

PROOF POINTS: It's easier and easier to get an A in math https://t.co/UrI2865hgc

Start strong in the year by considering the cognitive architecture- how students think and learn https://t.co/2xJnZcrdOJ

[Greg Tang @gregtangmath]

I cringe when I hear the most popular math experts – who are "leading" math reform in the U.S. – say they don't know their times tables. We expect our 3rd graders to know them! I love problems that combine reasoning with computation. Experts should be able to solve these quickly!

[Anna Stokke @rastokke]

Ep 10: I chatted with the passionate Dr. Zach Groshell @MrZachG Should math be taught through open-ended problems? Can we expand working memory? Characteristics of a successful explicit instruction lesson...we discuss this and more! https://t.co/bchlauiIsr

I’ve had so many AMAZING students over the years. It’s hard to say how much I love and appreciate them. This year in Calculus, I have the spunkiest, most loving, and just an all around wonderful group of humans. I think we successfully conquered 2022-2023 together! #CalcFam4Ever

Some teachers.... :)

[Sarah Powell @sarahpowellphd]

At #EIE22 and Sal Khan @khanacademy talks about the importance of data and knowing where students are and working from there. He says "very focused interventions can make a very big deal."

[Sarah Powell @sarahpowellphd]

At #EIE22 and ⁦@ehanford⁩ answers why people keep using balanced literacy. She said, "when you believe in something, it's hard to unbelieve." I feel this is exactly the issue in #math as well - even when research shows inquiry isn't a strong approach for learning.

[Sarah Powell @sarahpowellphd]

Super excited to talk about the Science of Math with @CoreyJPeltier @EBethMH and @DawnDurham0708. Watch here! https://t.co/wiYmIeCbkj
