Honestly those 'Common Core Math' people are onto something. Was just at the store and multiplied 55x4 in my head by doing 50x4 + 5x4 (in this case it's simple enough to do in other ways just as quickly, but this 'distributive' approach generalizes to less intuitive calculations)

Next week! ALL ROADS lead to Chicago for NCTM Conference #NCTMCHI24 I'm super excited to moderate this session with Dr. Shane Wiggan & Dr. Lou Matthews as we bring voice to the less than 1% of black males in math education. Thank you NCTM Meet us HERE!!!! #MasteryForAll

If you don’t get that these two ways of doing addition are essentially the same thing, I feel like you might not actually be very interested in math.

This is the way we taught #math in 1978. Fine then, fine now.

Fixed: There are many fields of research that are constantly used by political actors as punching bags for their ideologically-driven diatribes, but education might actually be the most-often used.

For decades in the US, #math education reforms have been portrayed by some as an existential (political, social, economic, and even personal) menace. This platform is being used in familiar and new ways to push that kind of message. #iTeachMath
