Teaching for the purpose of connecting ideas is what makes math learning meaningful.

[Michaela Epstein @MathsCirclesOz]

But, by doing small things to make your units more purposeful, students will start to see the connections between what they are learning.

And, they'll realise that maths is something they can make sense of for themselves.

"We invest in students by investing in teachers." @DrBradJohnson So, let's give students every opportunity to experience rich, authentic math learning by providing PD opportunities for their teachers to experience rich, authentic math learning.

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

This.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Invest!

In their early math learning experiences, many children relish constructing mathematically sound ways to reason with number. This work, which illustrates the ability to engage as mathematicians, ends when teaching "standard" algorithms become the primary focus of math learning.

[Pam Harris @pwharris]

Many learners abandon their intuitive math sense in order to adopt the procedures being emphasized. Numeracy, at its heart, is using mathematical relationships to reason with numbers.

@HawksMathamagic @drMi Indeed: "Leaders of instruction who are charged with growing math teachers should also be pushing themselves on delivering more effective learning to grow teacher efficacy."

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

Ending the cycle of impoverished math learning requires that teachers develop a different relationship and understanding of math. This can be achieve by PD that allows them to engage as active members of a content-focused, learning skills enhancing, knowledge-building community.

[Eric Milou @drMi]

Everyone can be a math person but first we have to make math instruction more inclusive. https://t.co/pgDzfSiuFs The way math has traditionally been taught in classrooms, as a fixed discipline, right & wrong answers, has kept too many students from realizing these benefits.

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

@melbrethour In order to use assessments to change outcomes, they must offer insight into what learners know and how they know it as well as provide insight concerning the quality and limitations of the assessments themselves.

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

When mathematics learning is focused on ideas - and more importantly the connection of mathematical ideas, it is interesting of itself. Mathematics does not have to be "gamified" or involve "real world" problem-solving to be interesting or relevant.

[Michaela Epstein @MathsCirclesOz]

Friendly reminder-

on its own, maths can actually be interesting

(not just a mechanical process for reaching some other goal)

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

The pedagogy of mathematics learning should be dynamic and robust because mathematics itself is dynamic and robust.

[Melissa D @Dean_of_math]

Math is about puzzling, problems and play.
Math is also about procedures and precision.
It's about inquiry and explicit instruction.
It's time to embrace the full range of learning.

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

And "nothing matters more to understanding maths than making connections." - Michaela Epstein

Hear The Number Lab's, Kevin Moore, discuss math with the host of Math Musings, Lauren Siegel @MathHappensOrg.

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

Yes, let's focus on learning instead of completing a series of routine "teacher tasks".

[Melissa D @Dean_of_math]

And that is exactly what I want to try to break free from -- this 'work' mindset, this list of things to do which may or may not result in learning.

[the number lab @thenumberlab]

Beautiful: "Yes, we can use math as a powerful tool. But we can also use math as a balm, a meditative diversion, and a window into the soul of the universe."

[Sunil Singh @Mathgarden]

The utility angle for learning mathematics is what we would call in 2024 "disinformation".

[the number lab @thenumberlab]
