For anyone seeing the baseless accusations against me (& the sickening abuse), please read the linked statement. This is a politically motivated attack on the Cal Math Fwork, following the same playbook as recent DEI attacks. Please share this widely 🙏: tinyurl.com/jbdefense

An absolute must read for everyone in the math ed world. This isn’t just about Jo Boaler, it’s about all of us who are trying to make math education more equitable and accessible. #justiceforjo

Eclipse ready

4-day vs. 5-day school week?
Who's on team 4-day?

REALLY?! Because the mathematics autobiographies of pre-service elementary teachers contain data contrary to these claims. Their anxieties about mathematics, if they have them, are often connected to timed tests in mathematics, such as “mad minutes.”

A thoughtful read from Liesl McConchie

Sounds like she's ready to debate this...

I have 2 big concerns about the “timed math tests don’t cause anxiety” debate happening (again) today.

One has to do with victim blaming.

The other is about a research project I know is underway.

To all mathematics educators: speaker proposals for CMC-South’s Nov conference in Palm Springs are due April 7th. We look forward to learning from your ways of shaping our future #cmcmath 💙 cmc-south.org/conference.html

Liesl McConchie Jelani Nelson Jo Boaler Steve Leinwand In our society, a college degree is mostly a form of social currency (gets you access to certain classes of jobs). Math, more than any other discipline, is central in regulating this access. (Why is that, given how outdated our HS math content is? 🧐)

I referenced this quote in my Debate Math Pod with Chris Luzniak and Rob Baier to defend my assertion that 'Mathematics is dead in education'

Just recorded an episode to be released in June. Unique format where it was a solo guest debating with the hosts Chris Luzniak Rob Baier Debate Math Pod asking questions of my position.

My position? Mathematics is dead in education

How did it go? 🔥;)

Debate can revolutionize your math class, increasing student voice, engagement and understanding. Come learn how to make your middle or high school math class debatable!
