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: buildingmathematicians.wordpress.com/2022/02/21/wha… #mtbos #iteachmath

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: oame.on.ca/mcis/index.php… Pls retweet

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…

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

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

List of endangered words in mathematics education Curiosity Beauty Joy Wonder History Play List of words being promoted in mathematics education Efficiency Effectiveness Practicality Careers Usefulness Competition 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.

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

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

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

A4b - Hopefully we can see that students playing a game can include decisions... can include time to think and strategize, not just answering simple questions quickly. Build thinkers... not just mindless doers #ElemMathChat

Q4b - You have a few choices here to get close to 100 as possible... add 14 or 41... you can eliminate any of the 4 turns if you want. #elemmathchat

A4 - Here we see a game that is about addition (but possibly subtraction). Yet, conversations about probability and place value will come up. We also see representations, adaptive reasoning, strategies, part-part-whole thinking... #ElemMathChat

Q4. What might be "practiced" during a game like this? #elemmathchat

Q3b. What did we just "practice"? #elemmathchat

Q3a - Let's do some math together... #elemmathchat

Q2. What are some things you want students to "practice"? #elemmathchat

Q1 - Tonight we will be talking about "practice". What does this look like in your classroom(s)? #elemmathchat

Welcome to #elemmathchat everyone! Let's begin by sharing a little bit about yourself...
