"Math identity" = how I see myself in relation to math. If a kid doesn't have a positive one, they're won't thrive — not for lack of knowledge...because of how they see themselves. We expect every child to read & write, why let them opt out of math? New post: novakatz.substack.com/p/math-ident...
This research is hugely important! We need deep math anxiety work to happen in Teacher prep programs. I wish everyone could take my Math & Me workshop! www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...
When Teachers Fear Math, Their Students Suffer the Consequences
Elementary teachers tended to experience more math anxiety—and the effect on student learning can compound.

✨National Numeracy define numeracy as having the confidence to use basic maths in daily life. We've got to start changing that because, you know, potentially everyone is a maths person. — Paul Milner Snipped from The Primary Maths Podcast. share.snipd.com/snip/39d2c25...
Number confidence matters — not just skill ✨ (20sec)

Oh yeah, I feel this! One of my core values is authenticity. 💕
🔥 My Top 3 Reasons Against Homework 🔥 1) Time teachers spend prepping hw could be spent planning High Quality Instruction. 2) Time teachers spend dealing with hw in class could be spent teaching. 3) Time families spend fighting about hw could be better spent reading or playing games together 💖
Spoiler alert: This “new math” is NOT about common core! I don’t know Dr. Ellen Langer’s work, but perhaps I should? I love how she debunks why 1+1 does not always equal to. www.instagram.com/reel/DZcejrd...

Dr. Ellen Langer says every time you give an answer based on absolute certainty, you're emulating a robot 🤖So here's a simple challenge to help us actually experience our own lives:Try noticing three new things about a place you've lived for years, three new things about a friend, or three new things about the room you're sitting in right now.Every time you do this, you're proving to yourself that there’s more to learn about what you thought you knew. And that's where everything starts to open up.🎧 Find the full episode wherever you get your podcasts: “How to Stop Letting Your Own Thoughts Make You Sick, Stressed, and Stuck with Dr. Ellen Langer)”View all 1,361 comments

🔥🔥🔥 @joboaler.bsky.social with the truth bombs over here!! 🔥🔥🔥 "I want you to struggle, it's really good for your brain. It's when you're making these amazing connections and growing parts of your brain." ― Jo Boaler on reframing struggle as beneficial for learning share.snipd.com/episode/d385...
"Joy is evidence of belonging." As a coach, it can be hard to find belonging. Coaches live in an in-between space. Between teams, between blurred lines, between schedules. The coaches I know who feel joy all work on teams. This, then, validates this quote. share.snipd.com/episode/b14b...
This quote is EPIC… we cannot have a conversation because we have different definitions!!! 🤯 (Same thing happens with “curriculum” 🙄)

Listen up: * Algorithms Are Representations, Not End Goals* 🎤💥 Pam frames algorithms historically: tools created to represent relationships and handle lots of arithmetic before technology existed. Useful representations, not the final aim of learning mathematics.

What do we mean when we talk about “Real World Math”?? What a great take! share.snipd.com/snip/bfc36c2... Snipped from DebateMath Podcast - Debate 50 - Is There Fake Math?.

“DOK was never intended to measure how hard a problem feels. It was designed to classify the kind of thinking a task requires” This is so important!! I wonder about the role of DOK in a Navigation Tool. Thoughts? How does your school use DOK?

I'm reviving my Facebook Group directed towards families. I started MathieMomma in 2018 because so many families were coming to me for math help. It's a community of teachers & families looking to understand math more deeply. 💖 www.facebook.com/groups/Mathi...
Belonging should probably be one of my Core Values. This quote might become my new favorite… "joy is evidence of belonging." Check out "Episode 167: Catching Up and Beyond!" at 23:37 from the Learning Through Math podcast. I think you'll find it interesting. share.snipd.com/episode/b14b...
So Sal is talking about how epic Khanmigo is… all I hear is that he knew what types of questions to ask. So my question is: instead of BANNING AI (which I hear has become quite popular)… how do we teach children the skills they need to be thoughtful question-askers?

“Visibility without belonging feels like surveillance.” Thank you @RydellHarrison! This is so important for students AND teachers! #btcc27
Düsseldorf, you were beautiful!! Thanks for the great time! Can't wait to come back!
Check out these incredible thinkers!! 22 people in the room and they had no idea we were taking an "usie" together! Usie = selfie + us 🤣 THIS is what engagement looks like. THIS is what we want students to experience! THIS is what creates conditions for learning!
This is what a BTC Workshop sounds like! The beautiful buzz of Thinking: curiosity awakened, conversations started. Thanks Düsseldorf for your energy! 🐝⠄⠂⠠⠂݆
Hi! In July I'm once again running a free online program for K-12 math teachers called "21st century mathematics". Its goal is to help teachers to connect math they teach with some math that has been discovered in the 21st century. Pass it along! Info+register: justinlanier.org/21st-century...
This makes me think that when we have fixed mindset students, such as my fourth grader, instead of asking them to explain their thinking or do a glass assessment, we could ask them to groupitize. share.snipd.com/snip/3010151...
Chase & Vanessa host the BEST podcast episode of all time (ok, in the realm of education). They unpack 2 types Of teachers: Chaos Driven Versus Highly Structured. You have GOT to listen!! Which kind are you!?? share.snipd.com/snip/31b0526...

Is the opposite of "digital" ... digitless? Like, as in, no fingers? 😜🤣
"I just want to say thank you so much for your amazing workshop.... we tried BTC as soon as we were back in classroom. It is truly amazing & impactful. Your workshop inspired us so much. The students are way more engaged and love to participate. (I even used [it] for my advisory... So much fun!!)"
