If we don’t believe they can, they won’t. Students, teachers, administrators, schools…believe they all can, and they will.

I have the distinct joy of having a lot of incredible thought partners in my career. @ryanflessner.bsky.social, I’m glad you were the original.

Watching the collaboration and a-has as participants engaged in thoughtful mathematics in my sessions at #ICTM25 is why I love the work I do. So incredibly grateful for educators who devote time to learning. Your students are just so lucky.

#ICTM25 was a great weekend full of lots of learning and laughs. @ryanflessner.bsky.social and I had a great time as emcees. Special thanks to our 4 awesome keynotes @robertkaplinsky.com, @drindiagrit.bsky.social, @kimrimbey.bsky.social, and @howiehua.bsky.social for indulging us in stage selfies!

Coaches & admin putting in the work today @keepinlearning.bsky.social Working hard w/ educators all over Indiana to consider the breadth and depth of our standards to provide the best possible instruction for students. This work will drastically enhance the teaching & learning in math classrooms!

It’s like the advertisers know what words to use to get to me. Regardless of accuracy of the actual math. It didn’t work. This time….#iteachmath

I have a lot of emotions about posters like this & divisibility rules in general. Mainly, I don’t know most of them b/c I can’t remember them and I have other ways to figure out if a number is divisible by another. Can anyone help me reconcile my emotions? Does knowing them help anyone? #iteachmath

Guiding third graders and listening to them talk through a visual image from @gfletchy.bsky.social and @tracyzager.bsky.social BFF kits this week was a treat. They literally did everything you would have wanted them to showing teachers that yes indeed, they are capable of this kind of thinking!
