It's so important to recognize mathematics as a progression. This is why any discussions about math curriculum must involve teachers K through 12!

Huge fan of this post from @pwharris.

Math is a story and she's outlining the chapters from K-12. #iteachmath

@KFelicello @rickwormeli2 Thanks, Kris. I'm still surprised when educators don't realize that the problem is not the zero but the percentage grade system. Get rid of percentage grades, and you solve the problem of zeros!

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

This is a short (1 min) video of me explaining some of the recent findings on the ways people reach high achievement. Struggle and pushing at the edge of your understanding is the best! If you would like the version with youcubed super heroes, it's here: https://t.co/dqJRMAIolc

This brain study compared students being drilled with math facts v learning math facts through conceptual learning of strategies. Results:"we found no significant differences in reaction times, while training by strategies leads to higher accuracy". https://t.co/QvMcqAqfJM

How to help your students feel comfortable taking on challenges, even if they might fail:
1. Celebrate perseverance.
2. Share your mistakes.
3. Allow retakes.
4. Discover 'the power of yet.'
5. Note the failures of successful people.
