This is a GREAT blog post, with lots to think about. For those who saw my “Points of View” talk last month at #NWmath where I discussed the commutativity of multiplication, this relates, but goes MUCH deeper
New blog post! "Three foundational theorems of elementary math" (alt title "Elementary math is extremely rich and full of beautiful logical arguments and connections and everybody should pay more attention to this") #iteachmath blogs.ams.org/matheducation/…

Final thoughts on viewing of several #NWmath conference sessions today - although we want to connect in person at conferences, I must say that I so appreciated being able to learn from so many presenters through having access to the recorded sessions. @nwmathconf @bcamt Merci!

And @MehjD is sharing how she is embedding numeracy learning experiences in her grade 8 Humanities course and sharing her own reflections on numeracy. (Thank goodness for recorded sessions!) #NWmath #sd38learn

In her #NWmath conference session, @ShaheenMusani is sharing a unit of study for grades 6&7 on migration of peoples and how those big ideas and concepts create openings for numeracy learning experiences. #sd38learn

What are some was we can nurture numeracy in all areas of learning? with @ShaheenMusani & @MehjD #NWmath #sd38learn

Data literacy is an important part of what it means to be numerate. Using the #slowrevealgraph instructional routine is one way to explore interests and issues in students' lives through mathematics. Thanks @jennalaib! More info here: slowrevealgraphs.com #NWmath #sd38learn

Thanks @NatBanting for your thought-provoking session on decision-making & cognition. "A mathematics classroom should connect all students as designers and decision-makers." How do you leave space for decision-making in your math classroom? #NWmath #sd38learn

Thank you @fawnpnguyen for the important reminders about mathematical modelling in the elementary grades. We have some work to do here in BC in this area even though this is one of our K-12 curricular competencies. Always a pleasure to listen to your wisdom! #NWmath #sd38learn

Next up is @carloliwitter as he shares the importance of projects in exploring social justice issues through mathematics. Framework for projects is: intro to situation, exploration with a focus on mathematical modelling, presentation to an authentic audience. #NWmath #sd38learn

And another recorded session from @BuildMathMinds about building fact fluency. What does it mean to be fluent with math? Develop fluency through three experiences - number sense routines, contextual problems, and intentional practice, including games. #NWmath #sd38learn

I always enjoy learning from @kassiaowedekind & @TeacherThomp as they share the research and stories from their book Hands-Down, Speak Out which focuses on the importance of student-centred and student-led discussion. #NWmath #sd38learn

Next recorded session I am catching from #NWmath conference is the Building Thinking Classrooms session from grade 7 teacher @TeacherMmeChu from Burnaby. She shared the principles developed by @pgliljedahl with such enthusiasm and great sketchnotes from @aledaklassen #sd38learn

I appreciated how teachers shared their own professional inquiry questions as they engaged in mathematics teaching and learning through storywork. Below is a question from Joy Fast.
Big idea in this session: Story helps students make meaning of mathematics. #NWmath #sd38learn

In the Indigenous Math Network session from the #NWmath conference, the teacher storytellers emphasize the importance of being "story ready" and knowing the story in many ways and its cultural importance (and knowing if the story is okay to share) before sharing with students.

On this rainy Sunday, I am taking in some recorded sessions from the #NWmath conference. First up is the Indigenous Math Network and the importance of story and storywork to experience mathematics in more holistic ways. #sd38learn

I always learn so much from @NatBanting. His #NWmath closing keynote in 2018 inspired this post (and subsequent @BCAMT Vector article): chrishunter.ca/2018/12/13/a-…

Last Saturday, I attended @carloliwitter’s brilliant #nwmath session on social justice & math. In breakout rooms, we discussed planning for a potential lesson. This work on food deserts immediately came to mind. I would love to use Joel’s activity this year! 🤞🏼
