New data: Parents who were anxious about math were more likely to be controlling about their young children's math learning, less supportive of autonomy; controlling behavior predicted lower achievement a year later. psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-…

Fun fact: on The Jetsons George is 40 years old in the year 2062! So him being born in 2022 makes sense 😊

Today's PSA: "Learning Loss" is a made-up construct and only serves to deflate students, educators, and caregivers. It invalidates their hard work and resiliency, ignores all the learning that happened, and adds unnecessary stress. #remotelearning #education

We always stress the importance of recognizing patterns. Which patterns do you see? Which do you ignore? This is for white math educators, of which I am one. This video contains violent photos - to which Black educators may not want to be further exposed. youtu.be/S0_zF32XUD0

I love Leah Alcala's alternative method for grading tests. She found that when she put a grade on it, "kids would look at their grade, decide whether they were good at math or not, and put the test away." Here's her method: teachingchannel.org/videos/m… #iteachmath #MTBoS

When I read about teaching strategies for students experiencing poverty, it's all just good teaching: engaging pedagogy, making content relevant... I's not a lack of strategies, but to who on avg. has access to engaging teaching--an ideological issue, not a strategy issue.

Calling all Ts & parents: your Ss/ children need *WAY* more time for playing, building, creating, & discussing/exploring/debating mathematical strategies than they do for completing worksheets. Please!! Let them play. #mathschat #ITeachMath #MTBoS – at New Brighton, MN
Too many early-childhood educators think math and play are mutually exclusive. They don't have to be, writes education professor Kathy Liu Sun. edwk.it/2vKGHBe #ewopinion
