#ElemMathChat - The "tried and true" math language routines like stronger and clearer, collect and display, and three reads are always good to have in the discourse toolbox. When I work with novice teachers, I usually suggest that they normalize using instructional & math language routines.

#ElemMathChat - The "tried and true" math language routines like stronger and clearer, collect and display, and three reads are always good to have in the discourse toolbox. When I work with novice teachers, I usually suggest that they normalize using instructional & math language routines.
A few strategies:
-using turn & talks to allow students to rehearse and also cross pollinate ideas
- using “math talk” moves (eg rephrasing, repeating, etc)
- using math language routines, like stronger & clearer and collect & display
- sentence frames

A1: Start by having routines from the beginning of the school year where exploring and conjecturing and asking questions are built into the math. That way, sharing ideas as they form is just part of the culture of learning. #ElemMathChat

I am so upset.
Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.
