I asked my son if he was ready for his summative test today in math class. After a pause he replied, "Mom, it's just coordinate grids. All I have to do is think about Minecraft."

It is always a great feeling when someone likes your work.😊

I hope to see you here!

I can't wait for my copy in the mail.

Hahaha! I will wait and review this joke nine months from now.

Skip, I didn't know you had a book! I had the privilege of seeing you speak at NCTM Virtual Conference 2024. I will be buying your book.

Hahaha! This was a good one.

I read an article today about literacy and it was only about the ability to read. Let's not forget that there are so many more forms of literacy out there that we need to be able to navigate.

Tracy Zager quote. "Given the enormity of the problems we all face, could there be anything more important and pressing than teaching students how to think?"

Today's quote.

Health inspector from Spongebob choking: x+6=y, x-z=2, y+z=20 Health inspector from Spongebob wiping his mouth with a napkin: same 3 equations but with a banana replacing x, apple replacing y, and grapes replacing z.

Getting my monthly journal in the mail is a highlight of my day.

I had expected to login to get behind the paywall but NCTM has it posted in its entirety to read for free. Thank you for sharing.

Just a tiny tweak in how we ask questions shifts student outcome from solving for an answer to making sense of the math. Check out more in my post: seidlitzblog.org/2024/10/16/a...

Why Teachers Should Grade Less Frequently Excessive grading stresses out kids and teachers, stifles innovative teaching, and fails to deliver as a true measurement of learning.

In my latest Edutopia article, Stanford prof. Denise Pope points out the glaring problem with grades:

“The first thing kids would do is go to the back of the paper, look at the grade, and never read my comments."

9 reasons why teachers should grade less:

Why do two calculators solving the same problem get two different answers? Because the ones who wrote the coding for the calculators had different understandings of the order of operations. As AI usage progresses, we must foster our ability to reason and make sense of the math.

I have a scary joke about math but I’m 2² to say it.
