A cool, provocative study. "Teachers who are effective at improving students’ math achievement, on average, are much less successful at engaging students in class (and vice versa)."

I have people in my DMs concerned that @Desmos is helping students learn tricks to pass their state's end-of-course exams. I spent some time looking at their concerns, and the exams, in my latest newsletter. danmeyer.substack.com/p/are-…

Neuroplasticity is perhaps the most hopeful message in the field of education. One of the greatest gifts you can give a student is hope.

What exactly is accelerated learning? Don't miss these insights curated by @CarnegieCorp! bit.ly/3oD5kME #unfinishedlearning #acceleratedlearning
We cannot preach that ALL students can learn math when we still teach in a way that makes learning math inaccessible to ALL. (I mean, I guess we can. It's just not going to change anything.) #MTBoS #iteachmath

I’ve been filling this book with algorithmically generated drawings in my chill time this week 🤓💗 The creative part is making your own variations of the rules✨ Then the drawing is already destined and you get to see what happens! 🌿

This is so cool! We're working on making it easier to move between @desmos and @GraspableMath , but in the meantime, did you know copy and paste works to get your equations into GM?
Creative Project using the @desmos graphing calculator and @GraspableMath to graph and test solutions to linear inequalities. This will be fun! Looking forward to seeing student work. #iteachmath #mtbos youtu.be/T8uM6SQ56Hk

The mass dissemination of inaccurate/poorly interpreted statistics and data is spreading faster than the virus itself. How fast can we expel Algebra 2 and replace it with data sciences and statistics? #MTBoS #iteachmath #expelAlgebra2

How do we help young children learn math? "Brain training is not effective. The next stage of our research will be to see if a helpful approach ... may be to ease the load on their attention and memory while they are learning.” ow.ly/kFxt50yXUnM
