Diagram showing nested ovals progressing to the right, showing Development of Mathematical Reasoning: Counting strategies --> Additive Reasoning --> Multiplicative Reasoning --> Proportional Reasoning --> functional reasoning.
What if the goal of teaching math is to develop mathematical reasoning... instead of getting answers to math questions?

3 distorted views of what it means to do math:
If I can "do it" in my head, don't need to write down my thinking.
If I follow the steps I will always be able to do it.
If I can't do it the way the teacher does, then I can't do math / I'm not a math person.

Here's some visual number lines to help figure out 49 bags of 27 m&ms. We know 50 x 27 will be half of 100 x 27, or 10 times 5 x 27...
Then to figure out 49 bags, we subtract 1 bag of 27 from 1350.
Number lines: can show 1350 – 27 then – 7, OR
1350 – 30 then + 3

@pwharris keynote at #T3IC telling us Math is Figure-Out-Able, can we find patterns and do some "mathing" to avoid the trap of algorithms.
What mental actions are involved in this reasoning?

(7x4) + 5 using just numbers
We did this same problem at AMTNYS and the T3IC. All of the answers were great! I liked cutting part of the 9's out to make 3's!

Love People: Curiosity in their thinking Patience Instilling confidence
"Ask me at least two questions" vs "do you have any questions?"
We are all here to build each other up. Questions just mean you're curious. I can do hard things
I am a math person picture frame with Howie smiling.
Howie reminds us that we are all on the same team! Start with identity and build confidence together.

Why does this work? Squaring numbers that end in 5 35^2 = 1225 85^2 = 7225 65^2 = 4225 95^2 = 9025 In each result, the first 2 digits are underlined. What is 75^2? What is 45^2?
Why does it work? (10n+5)(10n+5) for some whole number n = 100n^2 +100n +25 = n(n+1)(100) + 25
Howie loves math tricks, as long as we explain why they work.

Love math: Multiple ways of seeing math Tricks Surprises Memes
How many holes? How did you count?
The amazing @howie_hua is at #T3IC talking on "Love Math, Love People"
The beauty of math is in the process; don't just stop after we know the answer, ask "how did you think about that?"

Jill Gough speaking at the podium
When we think about learning, we typically focus on getting information into students' heads
Instead, focus on getting information IN and OUT of students' heads?
Last not least @jgough Jill Gough: Visualization in a Language-Rich Mathematics Class
Don't focus on getting info INTO students' brains, more on getting info OUT!
What is the movie you are making in your mind?
Verbalize/visuals for deep learning

Functions of a Teacher
Compostion of many functions
Dennis Wilson talks about Function of a Teacher
Each year we start with domain of new students... each student is transformed into improved version of themselves.
Which function am I?
What dimensions do we operate in as teachers?

Rachael Gorsuch speaking at the podium
Stop fearing "No"
Stop fearing NO. No is a blessing No means you have time for the yeses... and that's where you're supposed to grow
Rachael Gorsuch tells us to Stop Fearing 'No'
How to handle personal anxiety ... how the T3 community is rooting for each other, wanting to help others succeed.
How to take risks: Say Yes. Put yourself out there, take the risk & grow.

Rotation from the problem kid to being recognized for good
The Transforming Power of STEM
Contraction: Narrowing my focus to explicitly integrating mathematics in STEM through integrated steM (uppercase M)
Queshonda Kudaisi - The Transforming Power of STEM
The power of STEM rotated students into productive paths; dilated the power of math, stretched her understanding & translated out of the classroom ... contracting to focus on Math
