Here is our latest episode of Math on the Rocks. It started nicely, but then Scott and I disagreed. Things got a bit rocky. Hopefully we argued nicely.

29 years ago, I had the student this man is describing how to help. I was a student teacher and didn't know why the child behaved this way, but...now I know better. Such a powerful message for ALL parents. twitter.com/fineapple22_...

#iteachmath When will it be appropriate to call out the elephant size difference in time allocated to literacy and mathematics at the K-6 level? Yes both dropped on the PISA, but the time spent on literacy is so disproportionate that it's no wonder math starts and stays lower on these tests.

Feeling alone in a department that does not read current Ed trends, is not on social media as a PL group, and will not read a book to be part of a learning group. So strange to me that they are "good where they are" and don't know they have been left behind. ☹️

What did I miss in the frameworks? No advanced math? Pretty sure they said to accelerate in HS...am I'm wrong?

Never seen a S in the "lower" track learn his way to the higher track w/o hearing + seeing how upper track understands. Why are Parents so stuck on this?

Starting a unit on probability and used jerrymandering as a counter example to random distribution.

Kids in class: "Yesterday, you talked about English (used Rosen rantz/Gildenstern are Dead coin flipping video), today...history? I thought this was math class?"

Bwahahaha! Mischief Managed.

So many great points in this article. Nice to see a positive article about the new CA frameworks. Is calculus the peak all students need to strive for? #iteachmath #edusky

Freakonomics author: 'Objections to data science in K-12 education make no sense'
California's new math framework has ignited a row over whether data science should be taught in schools. The debate makes no sense, writes Steven Levitt.

The voice I don't hear is that of parents and that of the private schools. Lots of political voices... let's not forget, public money...public oversight. Most private schools don't want the oversight, or they would apply to be charters. Am I wrong?

For the first 5 minutes of the testing session, I have students put their writing utensils on the ground, I hand out the tests, and students can chat with each other about the test. So many students have mentioned how much this lowers their test anxiety and you hear the best math conversations!

Making the move away from the Twittler because I don't need to be part of his origin story.

Now to rebuild the math/leadership/mindfulness connections over here.

Not quite ready to delete the other account because I may want to see just how huge the dumpster fire has gotten.
