    Episode 9: The Art of Thin Slicing, Three Types & Assessment in 10 Minutes with Peter Liljedahl

    Join us as we talk to Peter Liljedahl, author of Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics as we take a deep dive into the art of thin slicing and how to create a sequence of tasks to take students where they are to where you want them to be. Peter Also shares the power of planning and decomposing that path with 3 different types of tasks.  Peter walks us through a grade 7 lesson (launch, body and closing) on area with a reminder to plan on the assumption that they know how but launch on the assumption that they don't and highlights to begin where everyone can start and gradually increase complexity. We talk about Peter's new research on closing the lesson, including noticing and naming variance and invariance , teacher scribe during consolidation, how the three types of tasks show up in the check your understanding questions (mild, medium, spicy) and also how three types shows up in the new note taking structure. We also talk about the new Book, "Mathematics Tasks for the Thinking Classroom: Grades K-5" by Peter and Maegan Giroux, coming in May and the 6-12 book coming in June and our excitement looking forward to the 2nd Annual BTC Conference in Phoenix July 1st-2nd.

    Episode 5: Cultivating Equitable & Inclusive Learning Communities in Mathematics with Maggie MacPhee

    We talk with Maggie MacPhee, a Math Lover, Board Gamer, Tea Drinker and a secondary mathematics teacher here in Chignecto Central Centre for Education in Nova Scotia.  Maggie has joined us in our professional learning community book study on Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics last spring, and has had the opportunity to work alongside Lisa Lunney Borden as a teacher and a learner.  Maggie reflects on her teaching & learning mathematics journey, some of her notices and wonders as she navigates her way in this new year and dives into effective teaching practices that are impacting student achievement and well being. She talks about the importance of students seeing themselves as mathematical learners and effective teaching practices that she is implementing to help students learn mathematics through exploring  & solving contextual problems and learning through rich tasks.  She shares how she see's where students are at as they think and work through tasks and how this informs her next steps. Maggie shares pieces of advice to teachers to help shift their practice to more equitable teaching practices that allow all students opportunities to engage successfully and learn challenging mathematics. We reflect on the challenges we face from being so steeped in a traditional colonized version of education and the importance of presuming competence in our students.  We chat about our excitement of the upcoming NSMTA conference at the end of the month here in Nova Scotia and the NCTM conference that took place in Los Angeles and some of our Canadian math hero's involved https://showmeyourmath.ca/ https://aarms.math.ca/2018/07/12/connecting-math-to-our-lives-and-communities/ http://natbanting.com/ Nat Banting Twitter Incorporating Financial Literacy in Grade 9 Where Do We Find Rich Tasks? https://nrich.maths.org/ https://www.openmiddle.com/ Task Choice Board (Nova Scotia Gnspes) National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Video of world record on Twitter NSMTA October Conference Marie Batiste Video Maggie MacPhee Twitter
