So excited for our teachers to be implementing IM this fall! These "Unit 1s" are amazing!

This is my troop! So proud of these girls!

Who gets positive recognition in math class? Who doesn't? How do we ensure that all students have positive mathematical experiences and see themselves as math capable? #MTBoS #iteachmath youtube.com/watch?v=UzjZXL…

People tweeting about the question of homework over the holiday break? Y’all. I wouldn’t even give homework on a random Friday. Give the kids a break already.

Super interesting question! In "real-life" not all problems have solutions and require iterations of partial solutions and mistakes to wiggle to a better state.... What are we teaching our students if everything we pose follows the "Given Postulate"? Hmmmmmm

They just went to the grocery store. Buying breakfast for their kids. Looking for fresh vegetables. Getting the ingredients for Sunday dinner. They just went to the grocery store, and now they’re gone. It’s unacceptable. It’s devastating. It’s terrorism. It’s white supremacy.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

Inaction is inhumanity.

“Student difficulty with mathematics has been a pervasive and systemic problem since the advent of public education- not because students can’t learn mathematics, but because, by and large, students can’t learn by being told how to do it.” Peter Liljedahl 👏🏼

“Ugh I hate this NEW MATH. Why don’t they teach base 60 anymore, like when we were kids?? Base 10 is so confusing!!! Why are they changing MATH????” —Some ancient Babylonian parent, probably

Algebra 1 students worked together through an activity during one of our 1st classes. Afterwards, we discussed quality group work and set class norms based on their experience #1st2days

There is a feeling... 📸Simple Reminders #teacherlife #sel #edchat

On learning walks at the high school- the elementary math coordinator loved seeing the SAME routines and structures in 9-12 that her teachers are using K-4: notice/wonder, card sorts, group work, student voice. #IMK12 Illustrative Mathematics

Today we saw how Illustrative Mathematics instructional routines allowed students of all backgrounds and abilities to access rigorous math learning today across K-12. Pictured: deep conversations/debates over a card sort, grade 4.

Feeling the math love - amazing homemade gift from a math leader colleague! They totally get me :)

We are excited to invite our Reading Public Schools & Wakefield families to join us to experience an Illustrative Math Class in action! Lindsay Mosca Valerie Drinan Illustrative Mathematics #LearnWithIM Reading, MA School Committee

Sorting, counting, arrays, multiplying, place value, and efficient strategy conversations for the Mosca children today. It's amazing how motivating $$ can be - I didn't interfere or offer suggestions at all, I swear! 😊 #proudmathmom
