In my experience, that 77% is far greater. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

The solution to math anxiety isn’t just improving math skills—it’s crucial to address the psychological origins directly. For example...

💬 Avoid language that makes math feel inaccessible.
⏳ Offer low-stakes or untimed tests.
🌏 Embed math in real-world problems.

Did You Know? 77% of students who experience math anxiety have typical or high math ability. The solution isn't just improving mathematical skills. Instead, it's crucial to address the psychological origins of the problem directly for all students, say the researchers. Source: Devine et al., 2018

We scaffold learning so all students have an entry point into the learning. Our goal is for students to feel safe, included and confident. Once that’s established, we can push students think as they’re more willing step outside their comfort zones. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

Get to spend the afternoon with a group of educators diving into the intentional use of manipulatives as tools for thinking across K-8, ensuring all students have access to to meaningful and rigorous mathematical experiences. #mathsky #iteachmath #edusky @corwinpress.bsky.social

1/3 Seems very similar to the push here to a “Back to Basics” approach. Teaching math is not the same as teaching reading. Kids begin mathematizing their world as infants. While many kids are ready to before starting school, they’re not reading. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

This was shared with me, but I don’t know the source. I don’t believe in resolutions by virtue of setting a date to make a change. By reflecting on what’s behind me, while staying completely focused on what lies ahead - seen and unseen - these are commitments I can make. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

An activity I often lead in with is something I call “Learning for Joy”. We introduce ourselves and then share something about our identity. Most describe themselves using titles, though I encourage groups to use language that gets to the essence of their core identity. #mathsky #iteachmath #edusky

Saw a former student today who I taught when she was in 8th grade. She’s now 27 and an English teacher at the high school I went to as a student. Not sure if it’s a full circle thing, but either way, it’s definitely a trip. #mathsky #iteachmath #edusky

Visited school today a high MLL (multilingual learner) population. Pairing oral instructions with visual supports as well as shape recognition in one’s first language are two strategies educators can use to support learners with accessing content and curriculum. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

Worked with a group of educators today to make some subtle shifts in practice, grounded in being the least helpful person in the room. We want more kids doing more of the thinking and for them to rely on each other for that. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

If nothing else, a Building Thinking Classrooms approach supports with making math more accessible for students and teachers in a field (K-12 math) that has by and large made math inaccessible for most. I see myself in both the student and teacher group. #iteachmath #mathsky
