🚨Vague grading systems hide problems & let kids move through grades w/o essential skills. If a grade doesn't mean anything, parents have no idea how kids are doing.
Jonathan Regino & I discussed this in response to a question from one of my listeners. Link to full episode: youtu.be/qHQjt0O2bIM

🎯The best way to fix math anxiety is to teach math well. Great article from Jordana Hunter & Nick Parkinson from Grattan Institute.
www.abc.net.au/education/th...
The best antidote for maths anxiety is great teaching - ABC Education
Maths anxiety tends to develop early, so one of the best defences against it is early success in maths. That's why great teaching from day one of primary school is so important.

🎙️ Fantastic new episode! 🚨
Guest is Brendan Lee @learnwithmrlee.bsky.social on using the instructional hierarchy to teach math! Love this clip. If we move to problem-solving too early, before students are fluent, "productive struggle ends up being destructive struggle.” Link to full episode below ⬇️
