This blog post about corresponding angles, which *happens* to be part of the lessons I’m working on, makes me think of one of my students prepping for the assessment using ALEKS. Give the ol’ problems where two lines cross and you do algebra to figure out x and y with angles… he often can’t remembler […]

Open Up Resources posted a tweet about the “baseball study” on reading comprehension that would “blow your mind.” Well, basically people read about baseball. “High reading ability, high background” did best w/ questions afterwards; but “Low reading ability High Background” did a nice chunk better than the “High reading ability, low background.” The speaker […]

So I’m working w/ lessons for Illustrative Mathematics. I’m going to try to brainstorm for myself…. what are some of the number sense obstacles that are *not* “quick-fixable” but which could, if I put them in a mess of times…. be eroded. I’m inspired by the students who have been coming in this Spring […]

Data about books with cute charts … commas per thousand words… question marks per thousand words…. words per sentence. The small-cringe was the sharer expressing surprise that the book with fewer words per sentence had more question marks per 1000 words.

I work w/ lots and lots of people who haven’t learned stuff like times tables. It’s a whole lot like decoding in reading. If you’re not teaching decoding, then … if decoding is a cognitive load, take the load away. Find another delivery system. However! It’s worth learning to decode! It’s worth learning to read. […]
