Sharing this with @montmathnerd who mentioned she could use a little more sleep. If chanting "sleep is for chumps" doesn't improve your outlook, try this recipe.

Please help me with learning “loss.” What’s lost if it wasn’t there in the first place? And if the loss is rote skills that Alexa and a calculator efficiently answer, who cares? And if it is essential conceptual understanding, who says it was developed well in the first place?

We don’t need placement tests as part of reimagining high school math pathways.
Involving students in CHOOSING their HS math pathways removes barriers and bias.

Grab your phone. Faster. Same amount of intuition--zero. Kids could be playing Nim, Sim, or chess instead of pretending it's Dickensian England.

I am loving this book by @Doc_B_Brown my science colleague @Stanford. Great for those of us in maths education, and elementary teachers, but you can also recommend it to all of your science colleagues :)

"It's good to make a mistake." Really? In what field? Is that really what we mean? Don't we all try to minimize mistakes and develop PROCEDURES so we can spend our time innovating & being creative? So are algorithms bad? Of course not. Coding them is even better!

I put the K-5 @eureka_math Application Problems on gSlides presentations. goo.gl/wSwtUp
Maybe use them for a 'Do Now' as Ss get settled in. Let me know if you find any errors. @dhabecker #elemmathchat

As we wind down 2019, I wanted to share with you my annual list of favorites that made the last year a little brighter. We’ll start with books today — movies and music coming soon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
