Help me, #mtbos and #iteachmath ? I’m doing a summer workshop and want to have a bunch of mathy giveaways/raffle items. What are your favorites? What would you be excited to get?

If HS math classes aren't helping Ss see how maths helps us better understand & act to change our most pressing issues - algorithmic bias, gerrymandering, climate change, poverty, wealth inequality - then what is the education good for? Thx Just Equations justequations.org/blog/todays-ma…

The Video Recording of Ole Skovsmose and Paul Ernest in conversation about Skovsmose’s new book “Critical Mathematics Education” is now available on our YouTube Channel here:

Still genuinely very interested to learn from you on this, Dylan Wiliam

Hi Tom Loveless! I appreciated listening to your interview on Chalk & Talk. You mentioned the importance of conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem solving. Do you have examples of what it looks like to assess each of these ‘strands’ at the high school level?

One of the ideas that I noticed coming up again and again at #jointconf24 was that it matters how a question is asked. Phrasing it differently can shift the focus for students without changing the content.
Examples here from Ed Southall (@edsouthall.bsky.social), Susan Whitehouse and Jo Morgan's sessions.

'The psychological damage of being told (explicitly or implicitly) that you aren’t good enough is real and severe.'

In tracked systems (like in my district), a student's placement into the grade level courses vs accelerated courses becomes a part of their identity.

Bryan Meyer Liesl McConchie Jelani Nelson Jo Boaler Steve Leinwand We had an 'honors' algebra class. Mostly white in a minority white school. The parents were pretty vocal about why ... They wanted their kids in classes with 'better kids' ... It isn't about ability and we didn't even offer Calculus as a course.

There’s a constant tension between individuals using schooling for social advantage vs schooling for true education. But offering Alg1/IM1 in 8th grade will not be an easy solution to racial equity. Here is data from my district. What’s yours? Jelani Nelson Jo Boaler Steve Leinwand

Hi Greg Ashman and Anna Stokke! I’ve seen you both express strong support of explicit, direct instruction and I’m interested to learn more about your perspective on what that is. Do you have a classroom video of a ‘good’ example of this pedagogy in high school math?

Hi NWEA! Do these RIT and Growth norms apply to the Integrated 1, 2, and 3 tests? If not, where can I find something similar for those tests? Thank you! teach.mapnwea.org/impl/MAPGrowth…

If you teach high school math, you should watch this! Post your reactions. youtu.be/lAAxR79wjLk?fe… cc: Jelani Nelson
