What is formative instruction? T @MathManfre defines it this way: "Students come into class and immediately have the opportunity to show how they’re incorporating prior knowledge and insights by applying them to the material of that day’s lesson. That gives me the opportunity to…

Mathematicians work to create math that have yet to exist. Is this how we see K-12 learners engaging with math? Come join me in Thursday afternoon’s workshop as we’ll collaboratively engage in the practice of creating mathematics and explore its applicability K-12.

Grateful to reflect on and share something that brings me and my students so much joy - student-created demonstrations of learning. Student video creations are embedded in the article. Enjoy! Thank you for this opportunity, @edutopia. edutopia.org/article/bring-…

No student lacks knowledge. This is the whole ballgame, folks. x.com/SamAltarac/sta…

I’m not sure that’s a useful reframe. I think people disagree with what to do for students who lack knowledge. Explicit instruction vs minimally guided instruction is a debate about the role of the teacher not what prior knowledge students have and accessing it…



Is niche construction the greatest motivator for excellence and innovation?

I don’t do brain breaks. I have purposeful and intentional transitions between progressions of learning modalities that incorporate movement AND help set students up for success by framing upcoming learning verbally and visually.


Who’s going to #NCTM2024? Looking forward to seeing my broader @NCTM plc!

A “Share What Works” Experience in Your School Community edutopia.org/article/build-… Thank you @biblio_phile for sharing #ShareWhatWorks with @RSW95 & me @Lausensei has organized tech lunches that have brought our faculty together & teachers walk away with useful ideas #808educate


As a teacher, one of, if not my greatest fears is teaching students something they already know. Thank you @teacher2teacher for capturing how I ensure in-class instructional time is worthwhile for all students with the variability of content knowledge they have coming in.

T @MathManfre's Ss arrive with varying prior knowledge. Here's how he offers each one meaningful instruction, wherever they are on their learning journey: teacher2teacher.education/2024/08/27/ins…



Optimizing pedagogy cannot be this simple, can it? 1. Intentional Collaboration 2. Individualized Instruction 3. Personalized Feedback


2 minutes. That’s all it took to introduce imaginary numbers to my 7th grade pre-algebra students. 2 minutes. Now as they learn about “real numbers” they know what they are and what they aren’t, instead of waiting until algebra 2 to get introduced to what they’re not.


Can’t wait to co-host this webinar on “Building Thinking Classrooms in Self-Paced Environment” on September 12th. Join us!


I don’t teach mathematics. I teach reification, through the use of mathematics. As byproduct of reifying, students also learn mathematics.


“Grade-level” skills are redundant in the age of information/technology. They track individual development to a comparative generalization. It’s much more appropriate to look at Domain Continuums, as in, this is where a student is within a specific domain.


It’s embarrassing how the Common Core State Standards for Math is (A) still sequential and (B) not revised since 2009. Mathematics is a web, not a ladder. Posing it as a ladder promotes gatekeeping and elitism of and within the mathematics community.
