Conceptual, flexible thinking in math is so important. #whyismathdifferentnow vimeo.com/110807219?fbcl…

Using the 5 practices in a 5th grade math lesson led to uncovering misconceptions, building conceptual understanding, and making connections. Anticipate, Monitor, Select, Sequence, and Connect are powerful teacher tools! #BPSLearners #5practices Birmingham Public Schools Mathematics

Teachers thinking deeply about mathematics instruction for all students. #equityandaccess #mathidentity #BPSLearners

Representations help students learn the concepts in order to understand how the procedures work.

Feeling inspired by all the educators who shared, collaborated, and created at our BPS NPDL unconference! #BPSLearners Birmingham Schools

STEAM Engagement at Quarton Elementary. Sincere curiosity at its best to its the STEAM Leadership Academy Doug Baltz The BEF #STEM Quarton Elementary School

There are reasons for our students lagging behind students from around the world. The math of our generation and those before us isn’t serving today’s students well. usatoday.com/story/news/edu…

Taking time to look at mathematics outside the school walls.

Science is everywhere! Stay tuned!

Teachers building community and engaging in powerful science discourse. #STATCAST21 ActivateLearning
