Controversial teacher opinion: Every primary student should have a maths textbook. It should be low variance, with built in review, worked examples and faded guidance. Comment why I’m wrong or share if you agree.
Unfortunately, behaviour is the main thing stopping a lot of great teaching practices being implemented. Would like to see the SoL crowd discussing this more.
Before spending hours telling teachers what new found research that they need to know about for their teaching, make sure the behaviour they are being confronted with is manageable enough that they can think about more than just surviving another day.

In maths, fluency of procedures isn’t the enemy of reasoning. It’s the foundation. I’m excited to listen to the Matific debate between Toni Hatten-Roberts & Pamela Weber Harris.
