False positives unfortunately are extremely pervasive in classrooms w/out open ?s
"Having students formulate a question based on a situation or a picture changes the role of the student from a passive answer machine to a mathematical thinker. The goal of our questions should be to create a conversation around the mathematical content." edutopia.org/article/asking-…

For anyone seeing the baseless accusations against me (& the sickening abuse), please read the linked statement. This is a politically motivated attack on the Cal Math Fwork, following the same playbook as recent DEI attacks. Please share this widely 🙏: tinyurl.com/jbdefense

.@C_Hendrick’s keynote at @researchED_US was astoundingly good. I caught most of it on video… Sorry that it’s in Tweetable chunks, but I promise that it’s worth the headache of pressing Play a few times. What is learning, Carl asks?

Fluency must be about strategies + timed tests DO NOT account for that. Fluency= Flexibility+Accuracy+Automaticity What does answering _ problems in _ min really even mean? #Fluency – at Upland, CA
I have 2 big concerns about the “timed math tests don’t cause anxiety” debate happening (again) today. One has to do with victim blaming. The other is about a research project I know is underway. 🧵/1

The OECD told me that US students are the lowest in the world on all of their Pi questions in PISA. IMO this is because Pi day is all about memorizing digits here, & not about the cool relationship that is in all circles: youcubed.org/tasks/finding-p…
