Again, much of the conflict about math pedagogy is a disagreement about:
a) whether math is a set of secret codes or something accessible on a concrete, sensory level.
b) whether students have valuable knowledge to build on or not.
This all gets easier if you get that.
ALT One person tweets: "Isn't part of teaching deciding when and how to respond to children's ideas?" Another person responds: "Why would you respond to their ideas? If they already know the maths then they don't need a tutor."

Our teachers learned that mathematical modeling involves investigating an authentic problem, is interdisciplinary, has multiple solution paths, and may involve statistical reasoning. Thank you SSEF and Miranda Westbrook!

#AtlantaPublicSchools doing great things in the new math curriculum. @APS_SaraSmith first graders becoming human bundles of ten and Kinder experimenting with sink or float task!
Grateful to our students, families, and TEACHERS for making day 1 of our SRS Summer Math Institute such a meaningful professional learning experience. Problem-solvers persist and value mistakes as evidence of their learning growth. @SarahSmithElem @dehutson7
