Look who I met @ASUGSVAISHOW! Everyone LOVES math! @nctm.org

My son’s 7th grade accelerated math teacher told him that the reason students are in that class is bc they’re good at mimicking or their parents are good at supporting them in mimicking.

My brain & heart are spinning throbbing. A system does what it was designed to do. There is so much work to do.

I think this third grader has it just right!

12 -4=(10+2)-4=(10-4)+(2-0)=8 I think this is about “I can break up a larger number into a ten and subtract from the ten rather than from the larger number because I know ‘what makes ten’ fluently”.

Hot take: You’re not living if you’re not submitting your NCSM session proposal on the last day the window is open.

My niece, Kate, navigates the world in a wheelchair. Yesterday she told me how one of her teachers has a poster that says that everyone belongs in that classroom. She said that the poster is not true. The room is set up so that Kate cannot get around in it very well. (Kate is in sixth grade.)

@saravanderwerf.bsky.social you love bug!!! It’s been too long. Let’s tell the universe to set us up for another meet cute, please!

“Look! This snowman likes music!” Yup! San Diego kids see headphones, not earmuffs. Context matters.
