Math for All’s Post

Join us on August 14 when Babette Moeller presents Math for ALL: Fostering Joy through Access at Bank Street College of Education's Summer Math Conference! Register at https://lnkd.in/e7sPWE5C #BankStreetMathConf 

In our final blog post of the 23-24 school year, Martha Andrews brings #mathematics and #socialjustice to the fore, providing practical resources and rich examples, and giving us lots to think about as we start planning for next year. Wishing you a summer filled with professional and personal growth.

Ever think about the impact that teacher/family relationships have on student learning? In our May blog post, Nesta Marshall acknowledges the critical role that caregivers play in their students’ academic journeys, and insists that the specific relationship between teachers and caregivers is an essential collaboration to be intentionally cultivated. #teacherprofessionaldevelopment #education #edchat #elementarymath #mathematics #mathteacher

Our first podcast episode has arrived! Listen to those who have participated in MFA professional learning discuss the Neurodevelopmental Framework, a key component of the Math for All approach to supporting mathematics learning for a wide range of students. Teachers use the NDF to help deepen their understanding of students’ strengths and challenges through 8 different cognitive lenses, creating targeted adaptations to existing math lessons to better support student learning. https://bit.ly/episode1NDF

In our March blog post, Matt McLeod explores the challenges of word problems and offers approaches to vetting them for potential barriers and offers suggestions for increasing students' access to this type of problem. #edchat #elementarymath #math #mathteacher

This month, Math for All explores what honoring #diversity means to us and, building on Carol Ann Tomlinson’s work, explores ways that a flexible #mathematics #classroom can enhance our ability to honor students’ diversity as learners. #differentiation #matheducation #professionaldevelopmentforteachers

What can we learn about a learner’s strengths and needs through #observation? What might we better understand about a lesson or activity we design by watching a student work through it? As author Peter Tierney-Fife shares, Math for All invites us to "...attend carefully, in real time, to one student and their ways of learning." #professionallearning #mathematics

We are proud that Math for All has been awarded a 5-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education to expand our partnerships and support teachers and schools. #inclusion #mathteachers #schooladministrators #professionallearning
