I write about math education from the traditional standpoint. My book "Traditional Math" is at the link below. https://www.amazon.com/Traditional-Math-effective-strategy-teachers/dp/1915261546
"In this well-researched book, author Rebecca Stobaugh shares how to build a culture of thinking that emphasizes essential 21st century skills -- from critical thinking and problem-solving to teamwork and creativity"

No thanks.

"Hands-Down Conversations, an innovative discourse structure in which Ss' ideas and voices take the lead while Ts focus on listening and facilitating."

Nope.

Our talk is on "Word Problems and Algebraic Thinking"; it covers how JUMP Math addresses how to teach students to solve word problems and bridge the gap between arithmetic and algebraic thinking. @mayak46.bsky.social @toddtruitt.bsky.social @nathanielswain.bsky.social @paulkirschner.bsky.social

"A research-based model that integrates 7 essential competencies: conceptual and procedural integration, problem solving, logical reasoning, communication, tool use, pattern recognition, and student engagement."

No thanks.

I have nothing against rigor, except my definition is probably different than theirs. And I hate the word "toolkit".

Article about Reveal Math and how the parents didn't like it. Superintendent says it's "research-based". Picture shows the type of research upon which it's based.

Not sure what "student focused coaching" means, nor do I want to know.

"Emojis . . . avatars . . . icons . . . Our world is becoming increasingly reliant on visual communication. Yet our classrooms still heavily focus on traditional oral and written instruction."

Yes, imagine actually teaching Ss what they need.
