Stressful music and countdown timers are maybe not the best way to get math traumatized students invested in your math game.

Strategic Ignorance Teaching students to critique

Creating a culture of error is hard work. This is my best attempt at breaking it down into steps. #iteachmath #mtbos

Picture of the number 6 and 7 looking confused. 7 is saying, we don't really get it either.

New comic this week. It is the middle of term 4 and 6-7 is still going strong at my school. #MtBos #iteachmath #mathsky #67

Prepare More Students for Advanced Math Dear Colleague, Your district’s middle schools now have options for preparing more students for the advanced math that you teach. Help prepare students for your class by sharing the following information with your middle school colleagues. Expand Access to Pre-AP Algebra 1 in Middle School Middle schools can order Pre-AP® Algebra 1 for free if their high school enrolls students in certain AP courses.

Talk about mission creep. The leviathan College Board is now trying to worm its way into MIDDLE SCHOOL by providing an Algebra I. Pretty soon you’ll see the College Board preparing elementary school material. Will the CB produce a pregnancy guidebook? Only time will tell. 🙄 #MTBoS #ITeachMath

One thing I've asked my Stanford #mathCircle 1st & 2nd grade students is to measure their shadow every day from the same place/close to the same time, and see how the shadow's length changes after making a hypothesis. I love how this 1st grader showed what might happen. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

Can anyone in #MTBoS or #iteachmath help me with an NBCT question? I'm doing my maintenance of certification. Some of my PGE's include coursework. Did you actually submit your transcript as evidence, or is that unnecessary?

What do you notice? What do you wonder? On the top row, there are two pink frogs facing right and two blue frogs facing left, with a single space between them. The frog pairs are facing towards each other. On the bottom, there are two blue frogs on the left, still facing left, and two pink frogs facing right, with a single space between them. The frog pairs are facing away from each other.

Once again, a simple set-up yielded many questions and ribbit holes… ahem, rabbit holes, to explore.

Super fun Community of Adult Math Instructors (CAMI) meeting on this swapping frogs problem!

Helping students connect x-values to y-values deepens their understanding of functions and what questions are really asking.
Small shifts in wording can lead to big shifts in reasoning.
