When you meet lovely people who are making a difference.
Thanks for a great time Sam and Jenn!

You don’t have to have all the answers to lead powerful math discussions.
Inviting students into the thinking builds confidence, ownership, and deeper understanding.

Review: CREATE A CLASSROOM OF MATH PROBLEM SOLVERS
Word Problem Workshop offers a structured, daily routine that makes math problems less scary by building confidence, connections & wonder into each session. #edusky #iteachmath #mathED @routledgebooks.bsky.social

I am still thinking hard about the ramifications of not only saying the denominator first, but also writing it first. In Korean, one names a fraction with the denominator, then the numerator.
Surely that affects understanding?!

Try this Problem String to get your students reasoning about fraction multiplication.
Post of shot of your board after doing it with your students!

Really appreciated the last #TCTM virtual meet-up — always good to connect with other math educators.
Next one coming up:
📅 April 20 | 4:00–4:45 CST
“Number Strings” + networking
Simple, practical, and a chance to be in community.

🔩 Nuts & Bolts
Good PBL ideas don’t usually show up when you sit down to plan.
They come from life.
So instead of forcing ideas to fit your standards…
📓 Keep a running list.
Then when you’re planning:
Start with standards → go back to your list → find what actually aligns.

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 episode -- a conversation about Susan Empson's career studying children's thinking, fraction story problems, and teacher noticing. #MathEd

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

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

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

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
Scott Aaronson tells the story a story annoyances and rewards of teaching precocious pre-teens theoretical computer science. You can find a PDF of Aaronson's lecture notes at the link.

Rates don’t have to be rushed.
Help students construct the idea of rates using Problem Strings, motion contexts, and double number lines.

Memorizing whole number factors is some help in factoring quadratics. Reasoning with whole number factors is an entirely different story.

In this activity, students use spatial reasoning and Ojibwe terms like Ishpimiing (Up) and Niisi'I (Down) to navigate a syllabics chart and reveal secret words. Check out this free resource! #MathEd #Ojibwe #RobertsonProgram www.oise.utoronto.ca/robertson/le...

NEW: 3 Steps to Help Students Make Sense of Fractions.
Often when math students see fractions, they search for a rule. But what if the goal is not to decode but to understand the situation? See Mona Iehl's solution. #edusky #mtbos #math #maths #iteachmath #mathed
