00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:09.166
Hi, I’m Marian Small.




00:00:09.166 --> 00:00:11.466
One of the best parts of my job




00:00:11.766 --> 00:00:15.400
is to get around, travel, talk to teachers




00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.366
in a lot of different locations,
learn from them, and share with them.




00:00:20.366 --> 00:00:25.900
I decided that another good way to share
would be to use what has become called




00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:30.600
M Magazine, a digital magazine
that comes out regularly




00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.066
that gives me a chance
to share in another way.




00:00:35.066 --> 00:00:38.200
Now, in the magazine,
we have lots of features, just what you’d




00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:43.166
expect in a magazine, some of them short
little features, some of them longer ones —




00:00:43.366 --> 00:00:45.800
and I’ll tell you
about both of those things —




00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:48.666
always new, every single issue.




00:00:49.033 --> 00:00:52.866
So, in the short features,
we have things like Ask Marian,




00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:57.233
where teachers send in questions,
and I’m able to respond to them —




00:00:57.433 --> 00:01:00.666
sometimes through video,
sometimes through text —




00:01:00.966 --> 00:01:04.100
so that they get answers to the questions
they’re wondering about.




00:01:04.833 --> 00:01:07.400
We talk about things like hot topics,




00:01:07.666 --> 00:01:10.466
and you’ve heard this phrase,
and what does it mean,




00:01:10.466 --> 00:01:13.533
and let me help you kind of figure
all that kind of thing out.




00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.966
We have little pieces
that talk about children’s literature




00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.600
and how you can use that to support
mathematics teaching.




00:01:22.233 --> 00:01:23.933
We have short videos.




00:01:23.933 --> 00:01:29.833
that might show you how to do something,
maybe create a number line on the floor.




00:01:29.833 --> 00:01:33.700
So, all kinds of things that are practical
and useful.




00:01:34.466 --> 00:01:38.666
We have a section called Shareables,
where in each issue




00:01:38.666 --> 00:01:43.833
we create games and other activities
that you can use directly with children




00:01:44.133 --> 00:01:47.033
and they span Grades Kindergarten
to Grade 8 so




00:01:47.033 --> 00:01:49.933
that there are activities at all
those grade levels.




00:01:50.366 --> 00:01:54.433
There are also open questions,
something that you may have heard about




00:01:55.133 --> 00:02:00.333
that we provide, again, at all different
grade levels. Now, because it’s a magazine,




00:02:00.333 --> 00:02:05.400
you’d expect some big features
and we have those. In every single issue,




00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.666
there’s an opportunity
to learn from a mathematics




00:02:08.666 --> 00:02:14.966
educator. Sometimes they are teachers,
sometimes they are professors, different




00:02:14.966 --> 00:02:19.166
sorts of people who have all kinds
of interesting background knowledge.




00:02:19.166 --> 00:02:23.333
And we’ve ensured that every issue
has one of those kinds of features.




00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:26.766
We’ve talked about things
like equity, we’ve talked about things




00:02:26.766 --> 00:02:31.133
like financial literacy, we’ve talked
about things like math anxiety,




00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:35.833
and different ideas about how to deal with
some of those issues.




00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:40.800
I’ve also made sure there’s
another feature of my creation




00:02:41.066 --> 00:02:44.266
that deals with an issue
that I think might be important to you.




00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:47.300
One of the most valued




00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:51.366
parts of the magazine are short videos




00:02:51.366 --> 00:02:53.466
That are kind of like short webinars




00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:57.000
that address topics that might be 
important to mathematics




00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.600
teachers. We have, as I said, new stuff




00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:04.433
every single issue,
and I think that you’ll enjoy it.




00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:10.333
One of the advantages
of becoming a subscriber to the magazine




00:03:10.333 --> 00:03:14.533
is that you have access
to all the previous issues in an archive,




00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.566
and you can see
all of the things that came before




00:03:17.566 --> 00:03:19.966
and use all of those things as well.




00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:23.566
We’re embarking on our 18th issue




00:03:24.066 --> 00:03:28.666
coming out soon, and we hope 
you join us and that you find




00:03:28.666 --> 00:03:33.000
some valuable tools
that will help you in your teaching.




00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.000
in our magazine.




00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.233
We hope to see you soon!
