I just got around to reading Liza Bondurant and Liesl McConchie's NCTM MTLT article on drawing a positive math identity. Loved the idea of asking students to draw a math person before and after discussing diverse mathematicians! #MTBoS #ITeachMath pubs.nctm.org/view/journals/…

Teachers are being gifted my new books:
💪Move Your Body; Boost Your Brain🧠

They are loving them!!

I'm loving the idea of students moving more throughout the school day.

I was literally explaining this to my 6yo last week at the dinner table.

My 8 and 10yo jumped in to help him understand the different purposes of each of these constructs:
- assessment
- grades
- tests
It was a proud educator/parenting moment.

Anyone want a dinner invite? 🤣

This is a powerful, articulate thread about the counterproductive belief that students *must* be *taught* ideas that are “new” to them in mathematics. Thank you Liesl McConchie! #mtbos OCTM NCTM AMTE NCSM: Math Education Leaders TODOS BBA Math Association #octmconnects

A must listen!!!

This was such a good listen! Shelly M. Jones and Liesl McConchie were 🔥. Thank you for representing the aspect of identity in mathematics and spreading this message to the masses!

Listened to Liesl McConchie's recent webinar and came away with many great insights.

In particular, the numerous challenges of teaching math to high schoolers who lack basic skills and having a negative math identity.

No learning can take place without realignment and healing.

Love this thread!
