A2: "traditional" forms of math literacy (e.g. symbolic fluency, using academic math language, understanding context of "real-world" problems) oftentimes are used to measure math proficiency, reinforcing standing hierarchies like those described by Kirkland (p148) #schmiteracies


A1: (hey it's my question!) I see so many of my students sketching + doodling + creating incredible artworks in their notebooks, and it hurts to have to tell them to put it away during class. Open to ideas for how to channel their skill into the math classroom #schmiteracies


for tomorrow's twitter chat: "thinking about your students at your current placement, what forms of literacy do you feel that your students most prominently possess but do not yet have space to express in the classroom?" #schmiteracies


A5: Students see math as a highly creative art, and also as a skill that develops their logical reasoning + critical abilities to tackle any societal issue with a collaborative spirit and a wealth of resources #schmiteracies


A3: public transportation systems, reliability of transportation schedules, etc #schmiteracies


A2: As someone interested in language learning as well as linguistics (not the same thing), I strive to bring linguistic capital to my classroom through my own language skills, linguistic knowledge, and an open mind toward cultural connections + dialectal variation #schmiteracies


A1: We often see students saying math is useless and the "real-world" applications given in word problems are contrived at best. By asking students to identify real effects of data, finance, physics, etc. in their lives, I hope to help break through this barrier #schmiteracies


In our reality where people are targeted, harassed, threatened, and even killed for their political and partisan stances, how can we be real with our students about these risks while pushing them to embody the principles you and Dr. Garcia lay out? @Nicole_Mirra #schmiteracies

A5: literacy is about so much more than academic text, or just text, or even modes of communication #schmiteracies

Q5: What is your takeaway about literacy from today’s class so far? #schmiteracies

A4: expectations for language and style in academic papers, particularly math research (e.g. use of specific phrases, format, excessive rigor) #schmiteracies


A3: "reading a text as pure description of an object... and undertaken to memorize the description... [does not] result in knowledge of the object" (Freire). Too much math education focuses on rote mem without harnessing intuition, exploration, or creativity #math #schmiteracies


A2: Culture can profoundly impact the customs and norms for how people communicate, tell stories, and perform for others. Similar to the theme posed by Freire + Macedo that "language and reality are dynamically interconnected" #schmiteracies
