“A bad curriculum well taught is invariably a better experience for students than a good curriculum badly taught: pedagogy trumps curriculum. Or more precisely, pedagogy is curriculum, because what matters is how things are taught, rather than what is taught.” ― Dylan Wiliam
We need reasoning anyway, and if your students are reasoning you don't need to spend time specifically teaching for word problems. na2.hubs.ly/H0178vr0 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
When we focus on teaching, we might ask: 1-What will I teach? 2-What resources will I choose? 3-What work will I give? Focusing on learning, we ask: 1-What will they learn? 2-How will they create evidence of learning? 3-How will they evaluate their learning?
A slight change of wording is a quick win to ask more engaging questions. mathsbot.com/cpd
BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her. We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s…
Exit tickets are a popular method of closing a lesson. We have so many options when it comes to closing a session of learning. Reflect on mindset? Make relevant connections? Go back content? Examples from 'Hacking Questions' by C Hamilton

1. The engagement illusion: a brilliant exploration of how engagement does not mean learning, and that our students can be “cognitively immobile” whilst appearing to be busy. Knowing that learning is hard - it should be effortful - I thought about how can “design tasks that…

After World War II, the Japanese acknowledged they never broke the code of the Navajo Code Talkers. Tomorrow is Navajo Code Talkers Day, a great time to explore their oral history interviews maintained by the Veterans History Project at the Library. blogs.loc.gov/loc/2023/11/wo…
Is teaching academic vocabulary racist? This Substack post by Harriet Janetos is excellent. "If academic language functions as the dominant discourse of education, refusing to teach it denies marginalized children the linguistic tools to participate in whatever segment of…
Is it truly efficient to add things like 998 + 267? 4996 + 3529? 4.95 + 2.67? Algorithms are terrible teaching tools because they can trap students into using less sophisticated reasoning than the problems are intended to develop. #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
