Had a blast with @TheMathGuru on Math Therapy! We started miles apart on algorithms but ended up finding real common ground on how kids learn math. na2.hubs.ly/H01wV2Z0 #MathIsFigureoutable #MathEducation

@TheMathGuru and I are co-presenting in Austin in a week. We just met to plan. Well we laughed and chatted AND planned. What a hoot! Such a genuinely invested math teacher educator. Looking forward to this debut combo session. #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath

On the first day of school, I have students take a picture with this "I am a math person" frame. I read in Atomic Habits that it STARTS with identity and then the habits will follow. Someone who keeps telling themself that they are not a math person is not going to grow as much as someone who has a growth mindset.

@TheMathGuru! I loved learning from her as we talked about the importance of emotional relationships with math & how this marries so well with the #thinkingclassroom. #brilliant open.spotify.com/episode/5HV…

I have the most beautiful example of how we should lift others up. My 81 year old dad reminded me this week how we should always be positive to others, instead of tearing them down. Weak people harm, strong people help others rise. Which kind of person do you choose to be?

Great debate. For me, both strategies fall under math literacy. Ss can understand & use both. They can choose which strategy will work best for different math contexts. That is empowerment. In LA, Ss learn to read all sorts of genres, poetry, fiction, etc.
