The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn ...

Teaching for the purpose of connecting ideas is what makes math learning meaningful.
"We invest in students by investing in teachers." @DrBradJohnson So, let's give students every opportunity to experience rich, authentic math learning by providing PD opportunities for their teachers to experience rich, authentic math learning.
In their early math learning experiences, many children relish constructing mathematically sound ways to reason with number. This work, which illustrates the ability to engage as mathematicians, ends when teaching "standard" algorithms become the primary focus of math learning.
Many learners abandon their intuitive math sense in order to adopt the procedures being emphasized. Numeracy, at its heart, is using mathematical relationships to reason with numbers.

ALT Well meaning math teachers may have inadvertently worked against student's intuitive number sense.
Ending the cycle of impoverished math learning requires that teachers develop a different relationship and understanding of math. This can be achieve by PD that allows them to engage as active members of a content-focused, learning skills enhancing, knowledge-building community.
Everyone can be a math person but first we have to make math instruction more inclusive. hechingerreport.org/opinion-β¦ The way math has traditionally been taught in classrooms, as a fixed discipline, right & wrong answers, has kept too many students from realizing these benefits.
When mathematics learning is focused on ideas - and more importantly the connection of mathematical ideas, it is interesting of itself. Mathematics does not have to be "gamified" or involve "real world" problem-solving to be interesting or relevant.

"But growth and aliveness also require a commitment to unlearning...occasionally letting go of behaviors, assumptions, mindsets, worldviews, and ways of thinking and acting that...start bringing you diminishing returns..."
