Young people don't hate math. They hate feeling like it's outside their possibilities. How do you build a community of welcomed confusion?

Absolutely! This is just what I see/hear, too! Their feelings often change from primary to intermediate grades. We need to work on finding ways to help them hold onto their math joy!

@Fergy4Tech Make math meaningful and engaging beginning at the elementary level. Use Legos, pattern blocks, cereal boxes, baseball cards, dice, playing cards, etc. Provide interactive group activities to share problem solving ideas. Make math fun!

@Fergy4Tech All of that!

@ohiorbuck Daily Number Talks and building a community where mistakes are opportunities gain a deeper understanding. #dailynumbertalks

yes! outside their possibilities and outside their lived experience - I love the idea that community is the key

@MindaHarts Wish I would’ve had you in my life when I was 9!

@dropoutnation The language has been corrupted and cognitive-load theory has made it labyrinthian.

How do we tell each other our lives are limitless and live within mental and social gerrymandered maps.
