I'm so excited to present at Cal-TASH for the first time! Can't wait to be in the company of so many disability justice advocates. I'm especially excited for the Crip Camp watch party and closing keynote!! I would love to connect with anyone else who will be there!

A8: Every classroom would look different because every classroom is serving different people. The room would be truly reflective of the students in it, in all possible ways. #ElemMathChat

Joanna Hayman @joannahayman.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

A7: Sometimes students with disabilities really exist on the margins of math class, pulled out and given cold, clinical worksheets to help "fill gaps" instead of being allowed to do rich meaningful tasks. Viewing math as a human right would mean understanding that students with disabilities ALSO

A6: Open ended tasks that invite multiple strategies and perspectives. Engaging students authentically in each other's ideas. Honoring and valuing a wide variety of participation. Validating and celebrating student thinking! #ElemMathChat

Joanna Hayman @joannahayman.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

A5: Math belonging means all students are celebrated and highlighted for their brilliance, which first means that we as teachers take the time to ensure we are looking at all students in ways that lets their understanding show. We can't be looking for the wrong things! #ElemMathChat

Joanna Hayman @joannahayman.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

A4: Systemic denial of students' human right to math might look like not allowing students to engage in math that matters or that is joyful. Rote memorization as a students' sole math engagement. Math that doesn't build or connect. And it's our responsibility to push back #ElemMathChat

Joanna Hayman @joannahayman.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

A3: To me, meaningful math is math that students can see as connected and generative- math that helps them understand relationships and bigger mathematical concepts in ways that have come from THEM not US #ElemMathCHat

Joanna Hayman @joannahayman.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

A2: I think doing math is one of the most human endeavors there is. And I don't mean carrying the 1! I mean the math that we engage in on a daily basis, that is magical and can be so joyful. I think being able to see that math is magical and joyful is a human right that we all deserve #ElemMathChat

Joanna Hayman @joannahayman.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

A1. I value freedom and joy. I think my students would say they value choice, autonomy, and the chance to collaborate #ElemMathChat

Hi all! I'd love to be able to attend NCSM this year but the financial landscape is not supporting that. What creative funding sources might I be overlooking? Has anyone ever fundraised for conference fees/hotels/flights?

This partnership was so fun-so refreshing to work with families again! Thank you so much @themathcollective.bsky.social for your support with making it happen and keeping it running so smoothly!

For those of you who make sure to have live captions when you are presenting - what's available out there besides the feature in Google slides? I learned yesterday that Google slides isn't very accent-friendly so looking for something that might be better. @mathematize4all.bsky.social #disability

Our UCLA CGI team had so much fun yesterday at Hancock Park Elem leading activities for parents and kids to engage in math and literacy ideas together! Excited to go back for our next 5 sessions! We've got a great series put together - let me know if you know a school that might be interested too!

Today, we honor the legacy of Judy Heumann, widely recognized as one of the founding leaders of the disability rights movement in the United States. She remained determined in her fight for disability justice, rights, and inclusion.

A quote from Judy Heumann in white text reads, “Change never happens at the pace we think it should.” Behind the text is a photo of Judy at a Meeting of the Presidents’ Council on Disability Inclusion.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Has anyone started doing presentations in Canva? Did you know they have a feature that will check the #accessibility of your slides? Just go File > Accessibility and you can check your graphics and layouts for accessibility. It will even remind you about writing alt text for images and videos!

I am very excited and honored to join #LMU's #Coelho Center for #Disability Law, Policy, and Innovation's conference this Friday! I'll be on a panel to talk about the intersection of Disability Justice and math education. If you're in LA on Friday come join us! #ITeachMath #inclusion

Thoughts after a long week in classrooms - a big old thread. All of my teaching career I spent in inclusive settings. I have been in schools where full inclusion worked beautifully. I believe in it fully. I believe that all students deserve the same opportunity to be in community together.

Spent the afternoon with friends at the Balloon Museum downtown. A lot of good opportunities for estimating! We think we saw at least 40,000 balloons total and maybe 200,000 balls in the VERY giant ball pit? Is that too many? No real way to find out makes it even more fun #ITeachMath #mtbos
