Building out a new talk that draws heavily on the scholarship of many educators and researchers. The work of these researchers supported my learning and informed my work supporting educators and students teaching and learning mathematics in de-streamed spaces. #mtbos #iteachmath

Jordan Rappaport Rachel Lambert (look for me on sky now) Tara Flynn Shelley Yearley Peter Liljedahl The curriculum I've used in the past failed to explain the importance of unit fractions as a foundation. After 15+ years of teaching fractions this idea finally emerged. We need math coaches!

Ontario is a hopelessly corrupt province and the Ford government is the chief culprit. The Greenbelt scandal ought to bring down the government -- and then some. There must be serious consequences for those involved in this utter, massive, disaster.

While the Premier seemingly pinned the blame on a political staffer for the Greenbelt decisions when he spoke with the AG - here's a refresher of what Doug Ford has actually said about the Greenbelt, including calling it a "scam." #ONpoli

Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk says Premier Doug Ford’s plan for the Greenbelt was biased, truncated, lacking expertise across different ministries — and select developers had access to Housing Minister’s Chief of Staff.

So to recap: The chief of staff, who received “packages” from developers and then sped up Greenbelt removals on their behalf — keeps his job. His boss, the Minister of housing — keeps his job. The Premier who approved the land swaps — keeps his job. #onpoli

#ONpoli Follow-up: "So, did you lie to the Integrity Commisioner, or are you lying now?"

Why ask for the Minister of Housing to resign? Everyone knows that the well-connected developers have ties directly to Premier Ford. HE is the one who should resign. 😒 #OnPoli #Ontario

BREAKING: Ontario's Attorney General will review the provincial legislation governing lobbyists after the Auditor General found that developers were given direct influence over the Greenbelt land removal. A committee process will start "in the comming weeks." #onpoli

Polynomial division can look intimidating, but we can make this more accessible by drawing rectangles!

Join us to deepen your understanding of fractions and related pedagogy, and to discover how to use the assessment questions in #RethinkingFractions to select tasks and inform instruction. @drcathybruce Tara Flynn Shelley Yearley Register at bit.ly/46icCrW

#OntEd this is very important for all of us to comment on. Ontario already has robust programs like SHSM, Accelerated OYAP , COOP and #TechEd . We don’t need to cut off 15 year olds from post secondary & send them off to fill jobs. ontariocanada.com/registry/view.… OCTE

For anyone teaching the MTH1W course, here are the recently released EQAO Grade 9 Math questions as a Desmos activity. It can be used as a review... maybe a few questions at a time and then look at the students' answers? teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

Yesterday, the Min. of Ed, claimed that '...the province will standardize making EQAO Grade 9 Math scores 10 per cent or more of a student’s final mark, a practice already used by the majority of teachers.' EQAO's own data suggests otherwise:
