Lady: Your “little speech” made me uncomfortable. Me (slight nod): Cool. That’s the goal. Her: How is that the goal? Me: Discomfort always is the appetizer for growth. Growth cannot happen without it. Her: Well I didn’t like it. #2ndtolastword #embracediscomfort #thatonekid

Ss worked hard to help solve Ben’s problem. Some alone time, some collaboration time; everyone was teaching and learning from their peers! Such a great way to end our week in math, but the work continues next week. @GarlandLinkenh1 @SwenkeCFISD @SweMathSci #SwenkeProud

2nd Graders estimation skills are on point! Which Dog Yard contained the largest area? What better way to understand the concept of area than by discovery! @SweMathSci @SwenkeCFISD @GarlandLinkenh1 #CFISDSpirit

Times tables seem to have fallen out of favour with many educators. Math teachers, try these mini-grids with your students which will not only help them practise their multiplication facts, but also help improve their problem solving skills.

Problem: American schools routinely present mathematics procedurally, as sets of steps to memorize and apply. bit.ly/2i6IIPb
