“If we want math to be about joy, we should start listening to the humans and the joy they find.” - @loumatthewslive #NCTMDC23

Humanizing joy in math is a celebration of people - the beauty of communities, families and culture w/ minimally as much passion as we celebrate content. ⁦@loumatthewslive⁩ reminds us to center on JOY as sites of math exploration. #nctmdc23

#NCTMDC23 if we missed each other this morning I’m doing an encore session at 2:30 in 140 a/b.

I learned a new term today from Susan Jo Russell and Deborah Schifter: Productive lingering—giving time for students to develop, articulate, and communicate their ideas.

The brilliant Dr. Crystal M. Watson bringing joyful learning and positivity about children’s belonging. “I don’t want to hear from the adults until I hear from the children.” The energy in this room is amazing. #NCTMDC23

Love Lacey Robinson reframing of students as “prosumers of math” (thinkers, doers, creators of mathematical ideas) vs consumers of math (consuming only others’ ideas of math). #NCSMDC23
