We actually do math in our math PD, and the same is true for most of our podcast episodes. That shouldn't be weird.

New workshop just dropped:
Developing Mathematical Reasoning in Companion Animals. 🐾
Because reasoning > memorizing… even for pets.
Happy April Fool’s Day! 😄

FAQ: Remembering What We Learn
It’s easy for humans to convince ourselves we understand something when someone else explains it. It seems to make sense, but it doesn't stick in our minds.
So how can we help our kids when they can’t remember what to do?

The coolest, most effective instructional routine out there - Problem Strings!
What does this series make you think about?
Post a pic of your board!

Image of a hand-written 0, composed of pixel values, next to an image of a 1 also composed of pixel values.
In #MathsToday we started our feature-engineering project with 0s and 1s from MNIST
Given a spreadsheet or DataFrame where each row contains 784 pixel values representing an image of a hand-written digit, how can we distinguish a 0 from a 1?

If your students liked math until the alphabet got involved, there's a good chance they're stuck in additive thinking.

Exciting - we're kicking off the spring 10-week quarter at Stanford with another session of 1st/2nd grade #mathCircle. Our first topic is Perfect Rulers - but not like these majesties. I'll see if the children can have "measured" guesses at to what this topic is :-) . #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun
Money + give & take = fantastic strategy Allison!
How do you reason about problems like these?

This week's Monday Melodies is for anyone who thinks about #MathEd. This song celebrates the Inquiry style of teaching! I wrote this for Oklahoma State University's Mathematics Inquiry Project. #iTeachMath #MTBoS
chatOAME now has a *GeoBoard* visualization... Along with Desmos, GeoGebra, Polypad, and Graspable Math, we're really starting to fill in the visualization gaps that LLMs leave especially in a subject like math where noticing relationships is so important. What's still missing, #onted #mtbos?

In my level 2 and then level 5 class, we are going to be warming up with counting squares and rectangles in the chessboard. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun
We had a lot of #mathisfun at the Chapel Hill #mathCircle for 1st-3rd graders looking at circle constructions. One boy whom I picked to be a ‘tree’ coincidentally had green shirt and tan pants, fitting the role as another held a string and walked around him, forming a circle. #mtbos #iteachmath
Rates don’t have to be rushed.
Help students construct the idea of rates using Problem Strings, motion contexts, and double number lines.

National Puzzle Day 🧩🤔is Sunday. To celebrate, I used @diffitapp.bsky.social to create a Simpson's Paradox Mystery. We turned a complex #StatsChat concept into a task that challenges everything you think you know about averages. #DiffitAmbassador #MTBoS #iTeachMath tinyurl.com/35bvhjc9 #EduSky

It's factor puzzle time! The one on the left shows the relationships to apply to the one on the right.

Came across this quote from Project Hail Mary
“Math is not thinking. Math is procedure. Memory is not thinking. Memory is storage. Thinking is thinking.”
Really making me think about teaching mathematics. Where does math become thinking? #iteachmath #MTBoS
The moment it becomes real. 📦✨
Developing Mathematical Reasoning 3–5 is officially arriving in your hands, and I couldn’t be more excited to see it out in the world.
