Love. I spy my 'What is Math?' poster in Liz's classroom. I can't tell you how many of the conversations and at times disagreements in math world come back to us having different ideas of what math is or what it means to be a teacher. I once did a keynote titled "I teach math" where I talked about what each of these three words mean. Love your post.
You are a celebrity to me -- thank you for making and sharing name tents! I've been using them for years now at the start of each semester. Is your keynote online? Is your poster available online?
Thanks for all these links & thinks! //⭐"I can barely get the students to read the entire problem and now they want me to make them read the responses of a chatbot that never shuts up." ~ Cal Armstrong
I like the switch from Are you sure about that!! Which makes the teacher the expert and the keeper of knowledge and makes students feel like they are always wrong. To the second teacher pointing out different student strategies making the students the feel like the authority. I know we are only looking at a small clip of the teacher and the point of the post is teacher moves. But what I want to see is how the teacher gets students to point out and compare and defend their own strategies. Does so and so even know they are using Lizzie’s strategy? Where are their voices? Technology may help show their answers but how does that translate to student discourse?
Dan, I'm sorry if I've shared this before, but it is so pertinent to this post. I wish I had gotten to read this during my pre-service teaching program:

💭 Maybe if the chatbot could generate responses in the form of 3-second cat GIFs...?
