New High School content on the website today!

(High) school math is so out of touch…

Years ago, @Mathowitz introduced me to Circle Tic Tac Toe. Yesterday, I decided to put a seasonal twist on it and create Spider Web Tic Tac Toe for Halloween.

I decided to put a seasonal twist on a classic chess puzzle to make a new Halloween Puzzle for my students to tackle as one of this week's puzzles.
Can you solve the 8 Bats Puzzle?

Math classes often ask for you to check yourself at the door, that in there you are the ‘mathematician’.
Becoming a mathematician doesn’t mean you need to shapeshift. Your unique lived experiences are inherently mathematical.
Hi @codeorg ! I love your Outbreak Simulator activity! Do you have a version that includes a time series graph of susceptible, infected, and recovered? Thank you!

Where's the math leadership in education that consistently rails against the negative impacts of standardized testing. Without it, I am not sure leadership is a title that can be claimed with any degree of honesty.

Used this task again today - they solved the initial problem more quickly than last year, so I asked them “what would a mathematician want to investigate next?” and gave them time to explore a direction of their choice.
Hi @TheSIAMNews and @m3challenge! I'm looking for a sequence of modeling tasks that can are purposefully ordered to help teach the modeling process at the HS level. Do you have a resource like this?

I rarely see anyone in math education take aim at this. To offer changes to math education and NOT addressing this is a cause for concern.

About 40 years ago I prepared some resources for before-school, after-school, and Saturday morning maths clubs. I found some of them last week, and thought I would share them more widely. Please feel free to use in whatever way you like: bit.ly/45o6DSV

And this paradoxical insight from @DLabaree: "Dewey's undiminished prominence in the realm of educational ideas is a sign of his failure in changing America's schools," whereas many of the behaviorists are forgotten precisely because their ideas have triumphed."

Our position statement on the intersection of culture and math is out now: nctm.link/ve9pn
Join us this Thursday to learn how to integrate culturally responsive practices into #mathematics learning: nctm.link/DHXfV
ALT Mathematics is not culture neutral.
ALT Effective mathematics instruction leverages cultural knowledge and lived experiences as assets.
ALT Effective mathematics teachers are culturally conscious.
ALT Effective schools develop systemic approaches that embrace culturally relevant mathematics instruction.

When teachers complained to Ted Sizer about a kid, he’d gently reframe by asking “What does this student need from you?”
For me, it’s about where authority resides for what counts as ‘true.’ Students are either justifying why something is true OR they are being asked to just accept that it is true.
