I was just reading Math Education Is STEM Education! by @mlarson_math via @NCTMnctm.org/News-and-Calendar/M… and had one of those AHA moments, it's the same for Science. Science education is inherently STEM #stem#scichat - It fits my STEAM = Inquiry Integration definition
The high school mathematics curriculum isn't working for all students. It needs to be reformed to encourage understanding of the math needed in society, say @robertqberry and @mlarson_math. #MathEd#edchat@NCTM @JoshuaPStarr @educationweekbit.ly/2EvocG8
Yes! .@tkanold & .@mlarson_math explain precisely & clearly the needed balanced approach to math education & put to rest the misconceptions. Every math educator & parent should read it!
I see it differently. The debate goes way back (see @mlarson_math’s articles.) It is not about what is “known”, or a straightforward arc of history. It is a battle about values, with decent arguments on all sides, which is best resolved by an intelligent eclecticism.
Time is running out to submit your proposal to speak at NCTM's Centennial Annual Meeting in Chicago, happening April 1-4. Submissions are due by 11:59 PDT on Monday, July 1! (That's only 4 days left!) Submit now for #NCTM100ow.ly/fiEq50uOxvs
As @mlarson_math writes on Shaped, #math teachers need to move beyond rules and practice problems—and focus on engaging students in reasoning and problem solving. Read more: spr.ly/6015EWIBH
Author @mlarson_math will be presenting the session Past President Address: Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics at 1:30 p.m. PST. His book, Balancing the Equation, is available at our booth, #937, and online: bit.ly/2WOLfC6#NCTMSD2019
And we’ve got the trifecta! Thanks @mlarson_math for stopping by the #MTBoS booth at #NCTMSD2019 and adding your handle to the wall. We’ll stop hassling you now.
Thanks to Chris Burkett and the South Carolina Middle Grades Initiative for supporting 10 @UofSCEducation ML Candidates so that they can learn from National Math Leaders @robertqberry @mlarson_math and SC own @awiselearner at the 2018 SCCTM Conference @NCTM
