Educator, life-long learner... Love to chat about math. Blogs at: #elemmathchat #MTBoS #ITeachMath @DSBN

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

What makes math Interesting Anyway?

Where do you see the link between mathematics and creativity?
What does it mean to be creative in math?
What excites you in math?

I'd love to hear some feedback on these ideas:

@jaredtendler If you won a million dollars every day from the year 1AD (over 2000 years ago), you would still need another thousand years of daily million dollar winnings to reach his 1.1trillion. A million dollars. Every day. For 3000 years would still not be as much as Elon has.

@pwharris It was lovely chatting with you! Thanks for leading off our conference with your passion and expertise!

Imagine my surprise and delight when I got to finally meet Mark Chubb in Ontatio, Canada! What a great trip! @MarkChubb3

I am excited to announce this year's OAME Leadership virtual event. Dr Rachel Lambert (@mathematize4all) will be sharing her session "Designing Equitable Mathematics from the Margins: UDL Math" with educators across Ontario. Register at: https://t.co/9aaYOPtO8M

I worry that mathematics is too often taught as if it’s bad-tasting medicine that students just have to take, rather than teaching it with the purpose of showing off its beauty and elegance, and feeling joy when engaging in it.

The Ontario curriculum makes a point in describing this as a goal in mathematics learning.

How incredible would it be if we approached the teaching and learning of math like this?

A four-year old student was telling me how these two are the same today @estelleash

@DHClements Surprised/ not surprised: “Second, the math that children know when they enter kindergarten is the best predictor of graduating high school, and number and arithmetic knowledge at age 7 years predicts socioeconomic status at age 42 (even controlling for all other variables).”

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

For all our kindergarten and primary math teachers, this is one you need to read:

We're not creating mathematicians. We're creating worker bees

People use “foundational knowledge” as an excuse for regressive pedagogies but no one can define it. All knowledge is foundational after you build on it.

@MNmMath @MFAnnie @ChristineLPercy @JJDLagrange @SueOConnellMath @martagarcia0901 @AnnEliseRecord @TalkNumber2Me @ClaireVerti @SarahMackAttack I too can make either work. Thanks for your leadership!

@jnovakowski38 Link doesn’t work for me

[Fawn Nguyen @fawnpnguyen]

It's here and it's perfect. https://t.co/c3E8huTG6y

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

@jnovakowski38 I created it. Feel free to share it or use it:)

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

Let's think about the types of "Practice" our students experience:
#elemmathchat

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

Thanks everyone for talking math tonight! Hopefully you are inspired to consider a few new ways to "practice" math in your classrooms!
#ElemMathChat

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

@MNmMath Great point! Fill in the blanks doesn't allow for dynamics... doesn't allow for strategic competence or adaptive reasoning or productive disposition!
#elemmathchat

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

@JJDLagrange These 5 things all interact. To be good at math means doing these 5 things at once.
Often "practice" focuses simply on procedures... and then we are surprised when we have students who aren't thinking mathematically or who aren't seeing mathematics outside of the classroom

[Mark Chubb @MarkChubb3]

Q7 - Final question #elemmathchat
How can we make sure our students are "practicing" content while also engaging in these 5 strands?
