Last night, @talknumber2me.bsky.social and the Los Angeles County Office of Education hosted a family night screening of the math documentary, “Counted Out,” with a panel discussion including @serratore4.bsky.social and @suzannehuerta.bsky.social. Great first person stories! So fun to share!

A4: #ElemMathChat MP3: Talk about, listen to other’s thoughts, debate, be open to new perspectives.

A3: #ElemMathChat I think understanding fractions is the biggest indicator of success in algebra, so professional learning that highlights holes in fraction understanding can be really helpful.

A2: #ElemMathChat In-classroom Math Labs where everyone has a role, is collecting data, and pauses for “teacher time outs” to give opportunities for discussing options in real time.

A1: Finding out that there was not just one God-given way of doing subtraction with regrouping.. who knew that other countries did it differently!

Sorry to be late to the party, as I had a dinner to attend tonight.
I’m a retired math educator who still does consulting and one good thing from this week was meeting up with the woman who held my last district lead position before me and telling some stories of how life used to be… #ElemMathChat

See you there!

4 Ways to Make Story Problems More Engaging and Accessible Four simple strategies—beginning with an image, previewing vocabulary, omitting the numbers, and offering number sets—can have a big impact on learning.

Scripted curricula are written for imaginary students. My article in @edutopia.org highlights 4 strategies to effectively adapt lessons to be more inclusive & engaging for real-life learners. #iteach #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

Launching fractions in a 4th graders class with a choral count is a fantastic way to access & assess prior knowledge. The vocabulary and ideas that emerged were beautiful! This no-pressure, inclusive task will help us determine next steps for instruction. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky #fractions

Great ideas to try out in a math warmup!

The metaphor will stay with me!

Paraeducators are an important and underutilized resource with great potential to impact mathematics learning in elementary classrooms.

I was impressed w/the thoughtful design of this meta-analysis of teacher professional development intervention effects on student achievement. Overall effect was pretty small (Hedges g = .09); the moderators suggest the effect was present only in optimal conditions. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky
