"A title doesn’t define a teacher leader, but rather the actions a teacher takes to support collective growth and leadership over time. ... Any teacher can be a leader, and that leadership is grounded in relationships. ... Leadership is an emergent process of growth."

What I’ve been saying, and more importantly, DOING with my 4th grade maths Ss for 40 years! Maths is not just arithmetic, so much beauty, wonder, joy, creativity… most published curriculum quashes that with contrived, rote, focus with arithmetic. So much more that can be done.

As @marcusdusautoy.bsky.social said, “If music were taught as most school maths is, children would do nothing more than play scales.” Let your students PLAY! Explore Goldbachs conjecture, Mersenne Primes, Penrose tilings… I’ll step down off my soapbox now.

Thanks, but my point was slightly different. Not about whether they also need to learn 'basic' maths, but that they need to be able to engage with the particular mathematical phenomenon that's been presented to them, rather than it being experienced as engaging but mysterious.
