I thought this was a great article for how to support students struggling with math anxiety and negative math identity. You may be incorporating things that do more harm than good!

Effort is everything when you’re talking about making a change for the better. It all starts with effort

If you have the time and energy to blame and criticize, you also have the capacity to create change. #DailyWisdom

Have you played Prime Climb? Dan Finkel's game is great! So many mathematical connections and really beautiful too. For younger kids, check out his Polka Dots games. My grandkids are almost old enough! math4love.com #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath

As a student and far too long as a teacher, I thought math was about rotely memorizing a disconnected set of facts and mimicking rules and procedures. I now know that reasoning mathematically should be the goal of math class mathisfigureoutable.com/avoidthetraps #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS

This progression video from Graham Fletcher made me realize that I never REALLY understood division as a kid. I was just a good robot who could repeat the steps my teacher gave me. Now I understand it so much better. Check it out here: gfletchy.com/progression-of…

“Recovery strategies must go beyond remediation and test preparation to reshape students' day-to-day mathematical experiences and the conditions for teachers to provide them.” Intentional strategies to support students engaging in low floor, high ceiling tasks- so important!

LTPS teachers Lea Ryan, Cari Gallagher, Taylor Hickey & Hillary Hargraves Dix attended the ANJEE Outdoor Fall Conference, focused on climate education & teacher leadership. Dr. Gallagher presented interdisciplinary lessons & collaborated on preschool CCE resources. #LTPSThisIsUs
