@NCTM So many to think of, first that came to mind was when they threw me a surprise baby shower.

Is niche construction the greatest motivator for excellence and innovation?

@NCTM @GlobalMathDept That math is not a ladder but a web, with fractals of progressions from whatever concepts they are currently learning.

I don’t do brain breaks. I have purposeful and intentional transitions between progressions of learning modalities that incorporate movement AND help set students up for success by framing upcoming learning verbally and visually.

As a teacher, one of, if not my greatest fears is teaching students something they already know. Thank you @teacher2teacher for capturing how I ensure in-class instructional time is worthwhile for all students with the variability of content knowledge they have coming in.
T @MathManfre's Ss arrive with varying prior knowledge. Here's how he offers each one meaningful instruction, wherever they are on their learning journey:

Optimizing pedagogy cannot be this simple, can it? 1. Intentional Collaboration 2. Individualized Instruction 3. Personalized Feedback

2 minutes. That’s all it took to introduce imaginary numbers to my 7th grade pre-algebra students. 2 minutes. Now as they learn about “real numbers” they know what they are and what they aren’t, instead of waiting until algebra 2 to get introduced to what they’re not.

I don’t teach mathematics. I teach reification, through the use of mathematics. As byproduct of reifying, students also learn mathematics.

“Grade-level” skills are redundant in the age of information/technology. They track individual development to a comparative generalization. It’s much more appropriate to look at Domain Continuums, as in, this is where a student is within a specific domain.

It’s embarrassing how the Common Core State Standards for Math is (A) still sequential and (B) not revised since 2009. Mathematics is a web, not a ladder. Posing it as a ladder promotes gatekeeping and elitism of and within the mathematics community.
