Rosy Maths<p>Hey <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MathEducation</span></a> people,<br>I remember some time ago reading how optimal outcomes for understanding and conceptual learning in mathematics happened when the students were in control of the pacing of the learning, but the teacher still chose and sequenced the content.</p><p>Now I need to find this research again because a bunch of parents are giving my fellow teacher grief for “Not finishing the textbook” in yr 7 mathematics! </p><p>Can anyone help me find this?

myrmepropagandist<p>A few weeks back I was complaining about this meme and we had a good discussion about it on here. I ended up making a lesson plan about taxes and my students really liked it so I will share it. (It is for students with a basic understanding of integration. But, you could probably rework it to skip that bit.)</p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/14xaQ1hMpqy0A68MAbxN49zK4HxK8m2R6/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">drive.google.com/file/d/14xaQ1</span><span class="invisible">hMpqy0A68MAbxN49zK4HxK8m2R6/view?usp=sharing</span></a></p><p>(And if you have feedback let me know!)</p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tax</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxes</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/mathEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathEducation</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/lessonplans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lessonplans</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/calculus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>calculus</span></a></p>

myrmepropagandist<p>One of the many classes I teach is a calculus course for 12th year high school students. Since their peers are taking Calculus II and Linear Algebra and beyond they regard themselves as “the slow class” which is ridiculous. Most people don’t take calculus until college, if they ever encounter it at all. But young people compare themselves to their peers— 1/</p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/mathEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathEducation</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/k12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>k12</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/calculus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>calculus</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a></p>
myrmepropagandist<p>It's kind of your responsibility if you are teaching someone to have some confidence in their ability to "get it" -- and, sadly I encountered a number of teachers who had little confidence in me in my own education so I tend to err on the side of "of course you can" more than "hm maybe this is too hard for you right now"</p><p>This can be an error though that can really stress some students out. </p><p>So, that is a see-saw I'm always fiddling with.</p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/mathEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathEducation</span></a></p>
Markus Redeker<p>Think of a mathematical definition as having two sides: a user side and a verification side.</p><p>The verification side is what you usually see in a book or paper: a minimalistic description that makes it as easy as possible to verify that a certain mathematical object has property X.</p><p>The user side is usually presented in form of one or more theorems that follow the verification side. They provide the rich mental image you need to have in mind to think of property X or use it in a mathematical argument — its real nature, so to speak.</p><p>For, example a dense subset \( D \subseteq \mathbb R \) is defined by the property that if there are two different elements \( x \) and \( y \) in \( D \), then there is a third one between them. This is the verification side. The user side is: If there are two different elements \( x \) and \( y \) in \( D \), then there are infinitely many others between them!</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MathEducation</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Definitions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Definitions</span></a></p>

myrmepropagandist<p>I remember doing all sorts of crafts with glue &amp; paper learning fractions but never did we try dividing the paper to infinity— I think this should be something everyone tries. I’d do this with calculus students learning series! The idea of an infinite sum having finite value is just more— believable after you really do it.

Adrian Riskin 🇵🇸🍉<p>The formal reasoning style associated with mathematics teaches ... that decontextualization and abstraction are the only valid routes to truth, that the only correct way to understand anything is by analyzing relationships between abstract concepts, because this is how mathematics is taught...</p><p>For instance, the meaning of the slogan “Black lives matter” relies on its place in a deep and broad historical context involving chattel slavery, police violence, capitalism, racism, prisons, and on and on and on. Part of the context is the understanding that society already acts as if white lives matter without anyone having to say it out loud. Lacking that context, or mapped to a different context, the phrase means something very different. And once decontextualized it becomes conceptually equivalent rather than intentionally and implicitly contrasted to statements like “all lives matter” or “white lives matter.” Even wildly skewed transformations like “blue lives matter” move from absurdity to debatability, which is a win for capital’s stability.</p><p>Victims of American mathematics education may be powerfully tempted to refute such nonsense on its own terms, i.e. abstractly rather than by screaming out the concrete truth that’s obvious to anyone who shares the context.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MathEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MathEducation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MathematicsEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MathematicsEducation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceViolence</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceAbolition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceAbolition</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Abolition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abolition</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BLM</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackLivesMatter</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://chez-risk.in/2023/04/05/why-are-children-forced-to-study-mathematics-at-gunpoint" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">chez-risk.in/2023/04/05/why-ar</span><span class="invisible">e-children-forced-to-study-mathematics-at-gunpoint</span></a></p>
Adrian Riskin 🇵🇸🍉<p>In the United States children are required to study mathematics for most of the time they’re required to attend school and yet essentially everyone hates it. Not just students, but parents and teachers as well. Very few remember any of it once they’re done with school, which strongly suggests that all those years of mandatory mathematics education aren’t serving the students themselves.
