Good article!
It is possible to teach mathematics across so many contexts that fewer single lessons carry overly significant of weight.
#iTeachMath
Maths teachers have introduced negative numbers for centuries, to millions of children, with a mountain of cognitive science to hand — and still can't agree how to do it. Debt, a thermometer, a number line you walk along. The arguments are detailed, sincere, and unresolved.

Can't calculate change from a dollar? #iTeachMath
Of course, calculators are to blame!
Or perhaps it's progressive education, famously and mythically rampant in schools across the entire 20th century.
News from 1978:

A nation that has split the atom and sent spacecraft to Jupiter has not yet figured out how to teach all of its adults to fill out a job application or calculate change at a checkout counter.

🏀Texas teacher @math22_miss has a hoop-tastic math activity for your learners at school or at home.
It’s nothing but net! ⛹️♂️

ALT This image features an educational activity titled "Trashketball" for practicing decimals. It involves dividing students into three teams, solving five math problems, and earning shots based on speed. The first team receives three shots, the second two, and the last one. The process repeats for another round. A photo shows students working on math problems at a table. The image includes a thank you message to @MATH22_MISS.

Eureka!
Pundits, do catch up with teachers, and forward your “testing insights on to all the people who think we can fix the "learning recession" by leaning harder into test and punish policies of the past.”

Some have really bought into the decades of propaganda about how math is supposedly taught #iTeachMath
Well, we could stop Jo Boaler style “let them discover math on their own” math curriculums & instruction. That’s great if you love math, but it’s horrible for the students who struggle.

A little late to this week's #MathStratChat. With an odd number & an even number I tried doubling and halving. Then I tried scaling down to scale up & flexible factoring to make multiples of 10 👍 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd #abed

It's factor puzzle time! The one on the left shows the relationships to apply to the one on the right.
What goes in the blanks? How do you know?

Have you heard of covariation?
I'm loving reading this research. These researchers are putting words to things I've been trying to convey in my PL. Fascinating!

"[Curiosity] is the secret sauce for learning."
Schools may be coming to a close for the summer, but the learning doesn't stop when the last bell rings. Quite the opposite!
talkSTEM founder and CEO, Dr. Koshi Dhingra, sees the magic of kids' natural curiosity - it's that innate inquisitiveness that keeps them exploring, wondering, asking, and learning - all summer long.
talkSTEM's goal has always been to encourage people - students and educators alike - to ask more questions. Think more deeply. Hold onto the very same sense of curiosity that's so crucial to development.
We've developed a bank of hundreds of place-based learning, STEM and math-focused videos available to everybody, because that's who STEM and math are for: everybody.
For hundreds of free videos, head to talkstem.org/walkstem or subscribe at youtube.com/talkstem.
Big thank you to all of our partner sites and organizations that make talkSTEM possible!
