Last week @JRappaport27 was doing some crowdsourcing with assessment: "Going to be supporting a group of educators (elementary and secondary) teaching summer school. Assessment practices will be an area of focus, so I've been playing around with a journal template for Ss use that will document their learning journey." It was interesting to see the iterations that he went through given the feed back he got. Note that in the last two iterations, the link to the Google Docs:

Lot's of talk about Ontario's new destreamed Gr9 Math Curriculum. So I thought I would share this summary from @MakeMathMoments which includes this really informative video from @Jason_To on the history of streaming in Ontario. Even if you are not interested in the upcoming Gr9 destreaming, the video is pretty interesting. You should also check out the panel discussion from OAME that Kyle and John hosted with @Jason_To, @Pi_lab, @HKhodai and @MarkChubb3

Welp it's here. The new Ontario Gr9 math curriculum. Well the rational and the expectations at least. The supports are still being written. But you can check out the new expectations and the new strands (they follow more closely from elementary) on the Ministry's new digital site. There are also videos and supports for the change to destreamed. Of course if you just want to get to the expectations directly, go here. And don't forget the docs about what the changes are and the alignment with grade 7&8 in the resources section.

I like the idea of students translating algebraic expressions into sentences (We've created our own activities here and here). You would think, however, that by posting a bunch of expressions/equations around the room and have students write down sentences to represent them might not lead to much variance from students as they rotate through. But it turns out that might be wrong. Check out @MathEqualsLove's post to see:

Even though this #OAME2021 session from @te_bokkel & @imtiazdamji focused on Gr7 coding, there are videos and @scratch sample code for gr1-8 referenced in the slide deck too. Check it out: https://t.co/z7geOnCdLV#MathChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath pic.twitter.com/XvolpfhciL

I am embarrassed that I didn't know about @DrEugeniaCheng's WSJ column Everyday Math

Currently listening to our #OAME2021 Friday evening keynote from @DrEugeniaCheng on Inclusion-Exclusion in Math. Sorry if you're missing it but in the mean time you should check out her #EverydayMath columns in the @WSJ https://t.co/JpjseuT8tx#MathChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath pic.twitter.com/dctwbLGVAY

During @DrEugeniaCheng's keynote I thought this quote from her art students was spot on

I LOVE this quote from @DrEugeniaCheng in her #OAME2021 keynote. Her art student's (who are taking her math course) realization:

"Now I find that math is not just a tool, and the real reason for learning math is to practice our thinking"#MathChat #MTBos #iTeachMath #OAME2021 pic.twitter.com/4qHOkkuY86

Math Links for Week Ending May14th, 2021

Featured Links

I feel like I have mentioned public-math.org but as I look through posts, it turns out, no. Plus I haven't mentioned about the Math Teacher Lounge (podcast/video series?) in a while so why not kill two birds with one stone. Watch the latest episode and check out the Public Math website for cool math ideas.

I love it when, seemingly, simple games have complex math behind them.

It's @StandupMaths again with a nice little story about using math to beat a gameshow. Plus I am partial to stories about randomness (or in this case, the lack of randomness)

I had a great time talking about 'The Time When “Press Your Luck” Didn’t Require Much Luck'. An amazing story of when randomness wasn't sufficiently random. https://t.co/i7VU09AMkM

I love this set of data that @DavidKButlerUoA has put together. So friendly and great to start any conversation about data. The representation of the categorical data with the pictures is a nice touch. Check out the comments for the .csv file of the raw data and the pdf version of the cards.

I've just designed a new set of data cards for use in stats workshops, especially with Health Science students. I'm very proud of them. pic.twitter.com/68Nzfo14aM
