NEW Blog Post: ‘What does mathematical reasoning look like?’

Assessment Using Desmos I use Desmos in class on an almost daily basis.  For our midterm, I decided to let my students use Desmos.  As new Algebra learners, many of my students often make small mathematical errors, especiall...

Julie Ruelbach has a lot info about using Desmos for assessments. I used it for certain tests in Geometry when I taught. ispeakmath.org/2016/12/23/e...

Something I’m pondering… how often does math curricula/instruction encourage a habit of looking for patterns? Not just an MP, but a routine, from early math thru forever. #ITeachMath

For my book that is out soon, I asked my doc student Avery McNiff to draw comics based on research photos in classrooms with kids and teachers, so that we could show expression and action, but keep identities private. I absolutely love them. I am working on my website and just enjoying her work!

#ITeachMath I can’t believe I’m just now hearing about arithmetiquities.org . Best session to end the awesome #NCTM2024Seattle conference

Thread!!! 💯🙌

Resharing because I listened to this episode today. SUCH a great conversation—fluency and problem solving are “symbiotic”

Definitely Cinci specific. I do like the mound of cheese.

Raising Canes. Chicken is good only with the sauce…and there are no other options on menu.

Skills before application? As in students need to know procedure before they can apply it.

Loved finding it on streaming…and just now catching up on Schmigadoon Season 2 and thought I may have recognized a few in the first episode

Omg the fraction math here! #ITeachMath

My joyful reads: Skin of the Sea/Soul of the Deep (Natasha Bowen), The Vibrant Years (Somali Dev), and Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide…Dragons (Quenby Olson)

I need to look at your reads now!

Genius math teacher move right here

I absolutely love this.

I also think about this in relationship to my identity as an “educator” now. I do not call myself a teacher anymore, but I’m still involved with math education.

I find this and replies so far interesting to think about. When in the classroom, I referred to myself and students as mathematicians. But I had the opportunity to hear Deborah Peart speak at state math conference and she said she prefers “mathers” like readers and writers.

So grateful for #IowaMath giving us the opportunity to learn from @themathguru.bsky.social about Math identity in (and outside) the classroom

Can’t wait to “see” you on Slack

On the Big Terrible Thing Matthew Perry's memoir, and the impossible math of mental illness

I wrote about the impossible mathematics of illness theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/on-the-big...

I think these arguments can be useful to addressing the "science of math" discourse.

"What we mean by literacy might be the most glaring hole in how we discuss reading. We have different definitions of reading, but generally, reading is the ability to decode text and make meaning of the text. Reading, however, is not the same as literacy." - JLV
