#cmcs2022 was a plea to recognize the "brilliance in our Ss" @meganlfranke "design lessons w accessibility and empathy" Rachel Lambert (look for me on sky now) "allow for play " Math for Love and "romance with math ideas" Sunil Singh and "find math in joy" @loumatthewslive BTC Peter Liljedahl Dan Shuster

Creativity, teamwork, perseverance, focus, problem solving, critical thinking, but mostly engagement and joy at the Math Festival today! Thanks to Mike, parents,staff Ryanne, Erin,Dan Shuster Hani Youssef Jill Craft for making this happen Knolls Elementary Simi Valley Schools

Parent and staff collaboration made another Math Festival possible Simi Valley Schools Ss had so much fun and didn't want to leave. They wanted to know if they could do this again next week :) There was so much positive buzz in the room. Dan Shuster Tracie Bowden Hani Youssef

"If the purpose of education is to score well on a test, we've lost sight of the real reason for learning"- Prof. Feynman

Math is more than just a subject to be tested and graded. The beauty is in its application - Dr. Mary Marlow #cmccentral #cmcmath #WhyKEP

Mathematics is filled with romance and wonder: so why don't we teach it that way- Sunil Singh #cmccentral #cmcmath #WhyKEP

Mathematics should not be a burden for our students; it should be a balm- a soothing, restorative agency- Sunil Singh #cmccentral #cmcmath #WhyKEN

A lot of "I did it" from students Arroyo Elementary Simi Valley Schools at the Math Festival yesterday. Always exciting to watch Ss engage and be challenged by puzzles and games from Julia Robinson Math Festival TY @AldoCalcagno Melissa Estrada Title Ts, @filledwithjoy1 Alisa Speidel

What TK mathematics program is your school district using, if any? What do you like about it? #MTBoS #iteach

So fun to visit the TK class Simi Valley Schools and listen to them count their collections. They worked so well together with their partners. #mtbos #iteachmath #countingcollections S: "I didn't like this activity, I loved it."

TK Ss Simi Valley Schools demonstrating intuitive understanding of arrays during #CountingCollections If only we spent half our time just observing what Ss already know, our tasks as Educators would be so much easier #studentagency #mtbos #iteachmath #studentcentered So much joy!!

Powerful webinar with Illustrative Mathematics team and Peter Liljedahl "Desire to help Ss quickly detracts Ss thinking. Let them hold their knowledge and let them question" "Tasks that inspire Ss to think" "Random groups is the engine that drive thinking CR- mobility of knowledge #mtbos

Ss Atherwood Elementary Simi Valley Schools loved working with #CountingCollections Created shapes before they counted, "scooted" items over as they counted, and "divided" their objects between their partners. Some even counted by 2s. Demonstrated understanding of #cardinality #mtbos

Fun to observe and listen to children Arroyo Elementary Simi Valley Schools work with their #countingcollections and each other- took turns counting, counted together. touched objects and moved objects over to keep track of what they had already counted kids are intuitive mathematicians

The power of play :)

TK Ss Simi Valley Schools #countingcollections in different ways. We did a gallery walk afterwards and Ss showcased their counting #ITeachMath #MTBoS #joyofMathematics
