MATH that MATTERS | Curriculum and Consulting Services
Math that Matters provides curriculum and consulting partnerships with schools and districts to help build a meaningful mathematics education.
www.math-that-matters.com
In my 15 years working with districts to help make high school mathematics JOYFUL, MEANINGFUL, and EQUITABLE, I have found quality curriculum can have a tremendous impact.
So, I've been working to make such curriculum freely available:

Hi @comapmath.bsky.social ! I’m looking for print Teacher’s Editions of your high school ‘Modeling our World’ series, but don’t see them available in your store (or anywhere). Know if/where I can find them?

Specialise, Conjecture and Generalise.
A three-step plan to encourage and develop mathematical thinking.
I'm going to use this thread to share a few of my favourite tasks that lend itself nicely to this idea.
It would be amazing if everyone added their own in the replies.

In this editorial, I explore what it means to teach (mathematics) in a time of polycrisis. I use Anna Tsing's argument from "The Mushroom at the End of the World" to unearth the capitalist logics that underlie much of our educational enterprise to reimagine new possibilities. #iteachmath #EduSky

Hey #statistics friends, I need help with a question:
With single variable data, we typically use MAD or StdDev as measures of variability. Why don't we just use MAE ('mean absolute error') or MSE ('mean squared error') as measures of variability for bivariate data?

Humans are bad at big numbers. Which makes it easier for billionaires (and trillionaires) to get away with hoarding wealth. Because most people just can't comprehend how much money that is.
So, I appreciate this WaPo effort to help people visualize what ridiculous amounts of wealth really mean.

Math education is complex. It can’t be reduced to single studies or one-size-fits-all claims.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Lovely #oracy work on indices in #MathsToday. We haven't covered negative indices yet but this got them pondering negative indices and considering non integer values for a and b as well as 0 and 1. Looking forward to delving deeper next lesson.

#Statistics #teaching often focuses on rote learning of mean/median/mode & graph drawing, but this is not what education research says. In fact, since the early 90s recommendations have been remarkably consistent!
