Showed freshmen today how to put square roots in simplest radical form.
Them asked them about a cube root, and higher roots. They were astounded!
“This is REVOLUTIONIZING!”
Sometimes kids are awesome.
I've confirmed to speak at the NCTM Annual in Denver 🗣️🎤
Here is the abstract:

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. At the center, four green triangles and four tan rhombuses are surrounded by four orange squares and eight blue rhombuses. This same arrangement is repeated in each of the four corners. Around the central design are four dodecagons, each made from two blue rhombuses and four tan rhombuses, and then surrounded by four orange squares and eight green triangles. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.
Pattern block play! #PatternBlocks #iTeachMath
Four diagonally connected squares, with two in the top row, both connected to the one in the second row, which is connected to the square in the bottom left. Two green dots mark the bottom left and top right corners of the grid.
e). How many ways are there to walk along the grid lines from the bottom left to the top right without visiting any intersection more than once?

Highly recommend this course about supporting the range of learners in the elementary classroom, whatever math curriculum you are using. #iteachmath #mtbos
Here's a math music video, with animations made in @desmos.com.
"Imagine All the Numbers": a song about imaginary numbers, to the tune of Imagine by John Lennon.
I hope you enjoy it! I'll be singing it at MoMath in their Open Set math song event. #iTeachMath #MTBoS

2026 Mathematics Game -- I love the year game! It’s new every time, and such a fun way to build number skills. I do hope you give it a try.

Use 9 different factors of 168 in a 3 by 3 grid. The numbers in the top row add to 27. The numbers in the middle row add to 81. The numbers in the bottom row add to 37. The numbers in the left column add to 9. The numbers in the middle column add to 105. The numbers in the right column add to 31.
Start your day with this #yohaku. Fill in cells with 9 different factors of 168 to get totals shown in each row/column. #mathsky #iTeachMath

Math teacher problems. Jersey schools are required to have 180 days of instruction.
I want to make a cute little countdown for the end of the school year with fractions, decimals and percents. Why do I keep counting 179 days?!👀😳
The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. At the center (and also in the corners) is an orange square surrounded by four red trapezoids and four tan rhombuses, then eight blue rhombuses. Around this center is an orange square surrounded by four green triangles, then four orange squares and eight tan rhombuses. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.

Relational Thinking - using what you know to reason. It's a great instructional routine.
How are you thinking about this problem?

New method of converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
F = 9/5(C + 40) - 40
C = 5/9(F + 40) - 40

“Perhaps the most inspiring conclusion from Silver’s analysis is that the association between a parent’s math talk and a child’s math performance was as strong for a low-income child as it was for a high-income child.” (via @HechingerReport.org) buff.ly/ISrHZag #AcademicSky #MathSky #iTeachMath

Saturday was National School Librarian Day! 📚 The math shows that our librarians are the ultimate investment experts. I used @DiffitApp to build this Library ROI activity tinyurl.com/3ry3werf #DiffitSpringRemix #DiffitAmbassador #FinLit #NationalSchoolLibrarianDay #iTeachMath #MTBoS #EduSky

a graph with a horizontal axis from 1957 to 1992 showing (on the y axis) the mean verbal score on the scholastic aptitude test dropping from 470 to 420
Looks dramatic, right? Remember how many questions you'd have to miss to drop your score by 50 whole points? #iTeachMath
Email congratulations on being accepted to present at NCTM national math conference
Lots going on in life and today I needed some good news. #iteachmath I'll be a new voice AT NCTM. I'm grateful to be accepted and share my thoughts on how the some of the things we say to kids while teaching them math create more harm.
Such a great problem with so many slick strategies! Which do you prefer? Or your own?

Stop-motion movies might seem like a great way to introduce math concepts, but should you really have your second-graders make the movies themselves?
Yes, yes you should. 🎥

I gave my calculus students a roller coaster project to practice continuity and differentiability. It was a good learning experience for both me and my students. Planning on some revisions for next year. #ITeachMath #MathsToday pbbmath.weebly.com/blog/the-rol...
