If you were going to create a hierarchy of math skills, what software would you use? Some sort of mind map? Database? Other?

Waiting for the sequel: "Why Don't Teachers Like School."

Point taken, but I worry that you've conflated "not crap" with "great." Perhaps a more granular sector graph would allow us to look for the 0<x<10% that's great.

I would also highly recommend Veronica Sidhu's "Menus and Memories from Punjab," if you enjoy northern cuisine. Solid home cooking recipes, in a somewhat random order.

That's what my classroom has been missing: a penalty box!

Have read Agarwal et al. 2008 & 2011.

Are there any interesting studies out there about open-note vs closed-book exams?

I feel like back on Twitter it was easier to follow tags, which made finding new content (and opening up discussions) more organic and frequent.

Uncanny. I'm not convinced you don't work at my school.

Also didn't bother with mastodon or threads. This seemed like the best alternative. Honestly, it doesn't (yet?) have the buzz and critical mass of people, but I can't stomach going back until it gets sold to a new owner. So here I am.

In New South Wales there is no mechanism for year 7, 8, or 9 students to repeat a grade.

IMHO, this poses challenges in terms of motivation and incentive to build the prerequisite knowledge needed to then actually pass year 10.

Rings true. Please tell me we've got solutions coming part 2.

Also very curious about this. Have been thinking about this recently.

As an aside, do your students take any notes in books for reference, get given notes, or just rely on MWB work to stay on top of old content?

New to blue sky so appreciate any sharing of this! Really interested to talk about exercise books in maths. We do so much mini wb stuff that we rarely write in books and would complete questions either in workbooks (KS3) or question sheets.

Most of what I've read seems to imply that interleaving would be practicing multiple related concepts in a mixed up order with the goal of enhancing method discrimination.

I know what you mean, but I think perhaps it's an implementation of the spacing effect. Either way, I'm a fan.

Agreed. I ended up not putting any up.

Looking for resources/advice on how to adapt programs to include interleaving.

E.g. how should I alter my existing area program (6 lessons, 1 day per shape)?

Introduce all formulas day 1, and mix them for 6 days? Or add one each day and mix as you go?

Just to clarify (for my sleep-deprived teacher brain), the curve itself is not so useful, but semi-regular spaced retrieval practice still generally recommended?

Have been thinking about implementing weekly low stakes tests as my primary way for building student metacognition.

Thoughts?

Do students keep track over time?

Would listing the topic to boost student awareness of strong and weak topics eliminate the benefit of learning to discriminate methods?

Yes, because the only options are UK and US. 😢🇦🇺🦘

Is putting up classroom posters with information that I want students to memorize/automate helpful or detrimental in achieving this goal?

Also, pretty sure nobody will see this, so a bit of a message in a bottle situation.

Vidunderlig!

will keep an eye out next time.

ooh. What is/was Bluesky Maths Hub?

Are there any Australian public secondary schools that have really nailed behaviour? i.e
the high school equivalent of Marsden Road Public School.

Bonus points for:
* turnaround schools
* low SES area
* located in NSW

warm without strict. my kingdom for a consequence.

my students got it just fine. 😂🇦🇺

this tangent had made sine and cosine way more exciting.

My mouth still remembers the day I learned the difference between 麻 (the numbing hot of Sichuan peppercorns) and 辣 (the fiery hot of chiles).
