@WillGourley @TED_ED that is what we do! But we do it with everything! Assessment, learning, teaching, AND math. #TEDEdChat

__jamesanderson Jun 14 @ 6:11 PM EDT

@FitzKateP @annettecole1974 being able to link maths to the real world and real life situations is hard but very beneficial! #TEDEdChat

A3) by showing math relates to all other subjects and they're not disjunct at all . It takes more than just math teachers #TEDEdChat

Still working on this but guided math is helping! #TEDEdChat #guidedmathrocks https://t.co/4TGR0AUAsf

mscasazzaIA Jun 14 @ 6:36 PM EDT

@GoodMustangs @TED_ED absolutely! It's so unfortunate and determent to students that math is often viewed as its own island.

Planet_teer Jun 14 @ 6:39 PM EDT

I support mathematics and STEM education but face my own issues with math when trying to engage my children in math activities. #TEDEdChat

a3) Guided math with a gradual release of responsibility should be the backbone to a Math program #TEDEdChat

_DrDi Jun 14 @ 6:40 PM EDT

@WillGourley @dinamoati @FitzKateP @lfayala2272 YES. Ts must face math fears head on. Bust myths about ability #tededchat #teacherknowthself

callmemrmorris Jun 14 @ 6:42 PM EDT

@TED_ED A1) Not my school, but the overall perception is that MATH is only to be taught in MATH CLASS #TEDEdChat

_DrDi Jun 14 @ 6:43 PM EDT

@WillGourley @dinamoati @FitzKateP @lfayala2272 #TeacherKnowThyself may be key. And then taking steps to expand. #tededchat

EbonyStubbs1 Jun 14 @ 6:43 PM EDT

#TEDEdChat teacher I work with has names of different jobs on board to show that you need math for them and how they use it.

@rchids good for you for acknowledging and stepping into the fear rather than retreating or ignoring. Break the math hate cycle. #tededchat

@WillGourley encourage some "non" textbook/worksheet time to look at and play with mathematics connected to things Ss are into?? #TEDEdChat

@WillGourley @callmemrmorris @TED_ED Exactly. Our pre-service teachers write about their histories w/ math. Still crushed by K-12 experience

callmemrmorris Jun 14 @ 6:58 PM EDT

@_DrDi @WillGourley @TED_ED Kudos to you for allowing them to reflect and grow from their experience. 1st step to better teaching #TEDEdChat

@_DrDi it's a work in progress but as @WillGourley stated earlier, "progress over perfection" 😀 #TEDEdChat

Planet_teer Jun 14 @ 6:59 PM EDT
