In my first Family Math video, I share ways for families to engage in math conversations with children of all ages using everyday contexts. Link to the video is in bio. I'd love to hear what you think and what other topics you think families should hear about. #iteach #mathsky #edusky #iteachmath

CMC North was a blast! I presented on integrating math games into upper elementary classes. The participants were amazing, so open-minded and thoughtful with their questions! @joannahayman.bsky.social

Division and fractions are not two distinct concepts even if your curriculum separates them into different modules or units.
I recommend moving from equal group problems with whole number solutions to fractional amounts less than a whole within the same context/problem. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

There is a push for students to use algorithms because they are "more efficient" and the standards say so.
I argue that it's more important to understand different strategies and flexibly choose which one to use based on the context and the numbers. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

A7: Sometimes students with disabilities really exist on the margins of math class, pulled out and given cold, clinical worksheets to help "fill gaps" instead of being allowed to do rich meaningful tasks. Viewing math as a human right would mean understanding that students with disabilities ALSO

In Counting Collections, it's important to allow mathematicians to take the lead. (Even if their strategy seems "inefficient" to you.) This group started with groups of 4 but struggled to count by 4s. I asked, "How can do to make this collection easier to count?" #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

Launching counting collections in a 3rd grade classroom, we started with choral counting by 10s. Then, students worked with partners to organize and count a collection. Snap photos and use them as image talks with your mathematicians. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

Simple modifications to the Eureka curriculum makes it more engaging and accessible for all learners. Consider launching with an image to preview vocabulary and offering number set choices to provide scaffolds and extensions within the same problem. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky #iteach

The Mathematics Framework is as incredible as it is lengthy. I had the opportunity to lead professional development for this fabulous group of middle school teachers and we dug into Chapters 1 and 7 of the mathematics framework. #iteach #mathsky #edusky #backtoschool

What do you notice?
What do you wonder?
In what context is this true?
I was waiting in line and a young man behind me was wearing this t-shirt. My brain got to mathing as I tried to figure this one out. After solving it I was reminded that context really matters. #iteach #mathsky #edusky
