“We always think play is smiling and laughing and giggling, but play can be serious...We need to inspire kids with unsolved problems, because we won’t here forever to help solve them.” @Mathgarden #NCTMSD19 #mathrecess

“We have in our head that all children need to participate in the same kind of way. But maybe that’s not what’s important. Instead Maybe we need to find the space for all children to participate in the ways that work for them.” #NCTM19 @meganlfranke
