Teachers must walk the edge between the structure of mathematics and the development of the child by considering the progression of strategies, the big ideas involved and the emergent models.

So important to teach all of these strategies. Morphology helps older students beyond decoding and spelling, but also helps with their vocabulary and comprehension. @IMSEOG – at Robertsville, NJ

I see the study of math facts as focusing on patterns, properties, inverses... When students gain insights about those, fluency follows. Memorization gets in the way of that deep understanding. #mathinpractice

Just a friendly reminder that there is no such thing as "learning styles". It is a seductive but ultimately harmful idea. Unfortunately it is also a very durable idea. None of your students are visual learners, or kinesthetic learners.

20th century education thinks it is driving along the highway of innovation, thinking it needs only an oil change and a tire rotation. Meanwhile the chains fell of its bike a few years ago.

A thread about instructional videos: My daughter is watching a *lot* of Brain Pop Jr. & Flocabulary videos during daily independent work time. When she walks away from videos talking about the singing lasagna instead of the intended math concept, I consider the video a failure.

Books and technology are not the problem. It's how they are used which leads to the problem. You are only as good as your content/purpose.
