We talk with Maggie MacPhee, a Math Lover, Board Gamer, Tea Drinker and a secondary mathematics teacher here in Chignecto Central Centre for Education in Nova Scotia.  Maggie has joined us in our professional learning community book study on Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics last spring, and has had the opportunity to work alongside Lisa Lunney Borden as a teacher and a learner.  Maggie reflects on her teaching & learning mathematics journey, some of her notices and wonders as she navigates her way in this new year and dives into effective teaching practices that are impacting student achievement and well being. She talks about the importance of students seeing themselves as mathematical learners and effective teaching practices that she is implementing to help students learn mathematics through exploring  & solving contextual problems and learning through rich tasks.  She shares how she see's where students are at as they think and work through tasks and how this informs her next steps.Maggie shares pieces of advice to teachers to help shift their practice to more equitable teaching practices that allow all students opportunities to engage successfully and learn challenging mathematics. We reflect on the challenges we face from being so steeped in a traditional colonized version of education and the importance of presuming competence in our students.  We chat about our excitement of the upcoming NSMTA conference at the end of the month here in Nova Scotia and the NCTM conference that took place in Los Angeles and some of our Canadian math hero's involvedhttps://showmeyourmath.ca/https://aarms.math.ca/2018/07/12/connecting-math-to-our-lives-and-communities/http://natbanting.com/Nat Banting TwitterIncorporating Financial Literacy in Grade 9Where Do We Find Rich Tasks?https://nrich.maths.org/https://www.openmiddle.com/Task Choice Board (Nova Scotia Gnspes)National Council of Teachers of MathematicsVideo of world record on TwitterNSMTA October ConferenceMarie Batiste VideoMaggie MacPhee Twitter
