@matttheapp.bsky.socialFingers crossed this helps students see that mathematical working isn’t just a list of calculations.
It’s a story: each step has a purpose, builds on the last, and moves us towards the answer.
That deeper understanding is what I’m hoping this activity develops. 🤞
@math4all.bsky.socialDr. Kristopher Childs joined us for our first show of Season 6! We discussed how to create classrooms where students are doing the thinking. Watch here tinyurl.com/5hdrd5zd @mollyvokey.bsky.social @heidisabnani.bsky.social #iteachmath #iteachmaths #math4all
@segarrogers.bsky.socialWorth perhaps sharing my own approach. (As pointed out by Catriona Agg the 6 is superfluous – an unintended error on my part).

@matttheapp.bsky.socialDo your students know the difference between a term, expression and identity?
Regular opportunities to rehearse mathematical vocabulary are key. 🧩

@math4all.bsky.socialHow do we create math classrooms where every child is doing the thinking, rather than simply doing the work? Thursday, Sept. 17 at 7 PM EST www.facebook.com/math4allshow or tinyurl.com/5hdrd5zd @mollyvokey.bsky.social @heidisabnani.bsky.social #iteachmath #iteachmaths #math4all
@mathforge.orgThis has provoked so many thoughts in my head, but the biggest of all is that this is what I want. Both for me and the mathematicians who come after me.

@openmathbooks.bsky.socialThese English versions are beta versions of the revised and completed Norwegian books, but the outline of the books should still be apparent.

@matttheapp.bsky.socialAn important part of teaching a new concept is giving students a reason to adapt what they already know.
Don’t just introduce something new. Create the need for it.
Sometimes, one subtle twist to a familiar idea is all it takes to create genuine buy-in. 🧠
@matttheapp.bsky.socialThis year I’ve taken on a lot of bottom-set groups. I’ve prioritised making maths visual and building an “I can do maths” mindset in my first few lessons.
