The vertical whiteboards and "productive buzz" of Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) are sweeping through schools, but engagement is not achievement. Experts like @rastokke , @MrZachG , and @greg_ashman are sounding the alarm that we are trading mathematical mastery for a classroom aesthetic. ​The shift toward "de-fronting" the classroom often ignores Cognitive Load Theory, leaving novice learners to flounder in unproductive struggle while major publishers drive implementation ahead of the scientific evidence. Success breeds engagement, not the other way around. If we want students to love math, we must ensure they are actually competent at it.

Today's new infographics: Why slaves were needed and The impact of the slave trade on African Societies

Utterly ridiculous idea

Been a while since I created any history resources. Turning my attention to the slave trade. Starting with these two.

Obviously. What sort of monster doesn't
