Mathematicians work to create math that have yet to exist. Is this how we see K-12 learners engaging with math? Come join me in Thursday afternoon’s workshop as we’ll collaboratively engage in the practice of creating mathematics and explore its applicability K-12.

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

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.

Excited to be presenting alongside some of my former students “How Students Can Create Luminous Demonstrations of Learning In Math.” Hope to see you at @ksedtech this week! I’ll also be at @EdcampHi tomorrow.

@toddrose, thank you for this clear, captivating and informative read. Sorry if I’m a little late to the party, but I’m motivated and ready to advocate for the transformation from “the Age of Average to an Age of Individuals.”

Reminiscing @tlstrayhorn’s keynote on belonging yesterday at @SOTFCONF. #sotf23 #sotf2023 Defining “conferences”, “belonging”, the latin definition of “education,” storytelling about his grandmother, and his singing. Just wow. Powerful.
