End to a great semester with the @butleru.bsky.social COE ED316 crew. #fieldtrip #binning #bibibop #mathrocks
Woohoo! A @heidisabnani.bsky.social #ElemMathChat!!!
Agree. And the added bonus - EVERY kid in the classroom is an English Learner, not just the kids who have talents in another/other language(s)! Modifications we make for our ELs/MLLs are good for ALL learners! #ElemMathChat
This is almost exactly what I did! The only difference in my thinking was the final step. Instead of 16 + 90 + 700, I thought about it as 700 + 90 + (10+6). #ElemMathChat
So jealous! Can’t wait to hear about all the magic that the two of you create!
Sorry I’m late to the #ElemMathChat party! I’m Ryan, a professor at Butler University in Indianapolis. Excited to catch up on the convo!
Fun times with @cfless.bsky.social on the “Math and Other Things” podcast. Love the idea of “Stories from the Field” and can’t wait to see what develops!

A flyer that reads “I’m presenting! NCTM 2026 Annual Meeting & Exposition Denver, CO” On the flyer is a man with a beard who appears to be giving a speech.
Just received notification that I was accepted to speak at @nctm.org’s Annual Meeting in Denver. No, that’s not me in the photo!

A lime green square advertising registration for KINLCon this summer.
Excited to be presenting with @myips.org teachers from @butleru.bsky.social Lab School at KINLCon this summer. Hope to see everyone there!
#ElemMathChat A3 - I try to model asking questions as much as I can to encourage students to do the same. I ask “How do you know that?” a lot. I also love being surprised by students and seeing their spark when I say, “I’ve never seen that before. Could you tell me how it works?”
#ElemMathChat A0 I’m Ryan, a Professor at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. It’s @cfless.bsky.social’s birthday month, so April is always fun at our house!

Lots of deep thinking as math games are played.
Lots of happy faces during Family Math Night!

Who has students who volunteer at a conference at 7am on their day off! 🙋🏻♂️ Proud to have @skuchler.bsky.social @elliewells-gr.bsky.social @taylorbyrd.bsky.social @emilyg03.bsky.social @sfrancesconi05.bsky.social & @andrea-curtis.bsky.social representing the @butleru.bsky.social College of Education!
Welcome to Indy! After my presentation tomorrow morning (8am), I’ll be hanging out at the volunteer table in the Expo Hall for most of the day.
It’s a fun one, for sure! Just like @kristenacosta.bsky.social 😊

When the kids start #mathing without even knowing they’re mathing. How many? #howmany
Thank you, @sueoconnell.bsky.social, for facilitating tonight’s #elemmathchat! It’s always fun to be with this crew. @mfannie.bsky.social - hope you arrived home safely. I’m looking forward to your responses to these ideas!
A9: I love answers kids give to questions like: What made you feel confident/powerful today? What was frustrating? What’s one thing you learned? Who taught you something important today? What are you wondering about the math? Or - just tell me what you’re thinking about math today! #elemmathchat
Routines, routines, routines! If we want kids to do math, we have to hold them accountable to doing the math!Let’s put routines in place that encourage them to do the math, talk about the math, and document the math.
Yes! Capturing those on a piece of chart paper that can be added to over time, too! #elemmathchat
