We need to avoid any messaging that manipulatives are only for those who struggle or "Only if you need them" This stigmitizes mathematical modelling which is critical at ALL levels of learning. Concrete modelling is a critical/integral part of strong mathematical thinking.

Teaching and learning is so tough right now, but things like this make it easier. Courtesy of a Grade 12 student in one of my amazing classes at @chinguacousyss . So happy to be working and learning with this community. #engagemath

Pleased to show off the @ISTEM_HDSB year 3/4 roadmap which is fresh off the press!
Well, virtual press.
If you are new here, I-STEM is a four year integrated program for students in Grade 9 to 12.
Students spend four years solving actual real world problems.
Thread for details.

Happy #PiApproximationDay! 🥧🎉 Did you know that 22/7 is a really good approximation for π? If you want to be more accurate, you can explore the first 1 MILLION digits on Mathigon. Can you find your phone number or date of birth? math.fit/pi-digits

I'm excited to announce Bending the Arc, a discussion with a group of accomplished Black mathematicians. It's hard to want to be something without seeing others in that field you can relate to. On 9/23, free to the public, open to all ages! Register here: momath.org/bending-the-arc/

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.
We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.
Another example of inequity and privilege: those who have the financial means to keep their kids home in September can CHOOSE to. It is not a choice for many families in Ontario. Don’t really know what solution would have worked for all (probably none), but, ...sigh...
