Why do we use word problems? Is it because they exist in real life? Not that I can see. Is it because they're the best way to instruct students? Almost certainly no. Or, do we use them because that's the way we've always taught math? https://t.co/VUdhpquc5Z #MTBoS #iteachmath

"Emotion and learning are completely connected." Research shows that students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn. #HowLearningHappens

One of my favorite NCTM sessions. https://t.co/JBhRUQgUij

Oh hey check it out! I just posted video of my #NCTMAnnual talk, "Why Good Activities Go Bad." Give it a look! #iteachmath https://t.co/pMsUnPCAyK

@robertkaplinsky @Virtuouscm I’ve been frantically writing all of these quotes, then I realize the @robertkaplinsky is live tweeting. #frontrowjoe #nctmAnnual #imnotastalker

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

"I write everything [students] say [about their mathematical reasoning] on the board with their initials. How often do students get their names on the board for something good?" - @Virtuouscm at #NCTMAnnual

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

"I don't teach you dead man math [referring to algorithms people created long ago that people use without actually understanding them]. You're going to create your own mathematical thinking." - @Virtuouscm at #NCTMAnnual

Wow! That should be accompanied with a mic drop.... Love it https://t.co/zQFNDzS8QY

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

I love this from @saravdwerf. She has so many great stories and metaphors. When we use #noticeandwonder do we use this lens? #NCTMannual

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

So excited to think about what this means for elementary students and teachers! https://t.co/9MbIgDyWUD

@chrisemdin Amazing keynote last night! I’m still thinking about all the disenfranchised populations I engage with and how applicable your message is. Farm kids, Navajo st, Migrant workers, all bring an intuitive knowledge of math that I can recognize and celebrate in my classroom. 🙏

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

What an amazing keynote from @chrisemdin! I love his perspective at helping me rethink what I thought I knew. It's the most powerful and important keynote I've even seen at @NCTM. Thank you @TLAMath, @mlarson_math, and @robertqberry. #NCTMannual

[Melissa Garber @MissGarbMath]

#NCTMannnual @robertkaplinsky is starting his session with Journey and math puns/comics...I’m kind of geeking out. I’m psyched!

[Melissa Garber @MissGarbMath]

How many burrito combinations can I create? Didn’t include the enchilada and taco photos. Math in real life. 😜🌯🌮#mathchat #mathed

Ss describing their steps is not the same as constructing a viable argument. This story will help Ss convince you: https://t.co/IaT8xjJHcE

They say 47% of US jobs are at risk of being handled by machines over a decade or two - and we are still teaching algorithms like long division! What's with that? Is that preparing our students for the future? Keep it in perspective people! #ORIGOLearns #mathed #elemmathchat

[Melissa Garber @MissGarbMath]

@jamesburnett69 Thank you for coming! I have been telling everyone I meet about the halving and doubling strategy! So powerful!

[James Burnett @jburnett1969]

My first day back in the US - working with very passionate TItle 1 coaches/teachers in Jordon ISD Utah. We are very happy to partner with them to improve their student’s fact fluency. #iteachmath #origolearns #elemmathchat #mathed
