Using area models for polynomial multiplication builds directly on students’ prior experiences with multiplying multi-digit whole numbers and fractions. When math ideas connect across topics, understanding grows through coherence! No need to memorize isolated nmenonics or tricks.

Mathematical discourse doesn't happen naturally among elementary students. Understand the purpose, establish norms and expectations, and provide prompts worth talking about! Instructional routines assist in the process. @LatrendaK #CCTM2016

We are so fortunate to hear from @NCTM president @LatrendaK at the @CCTMath conference, speaking about listening to student voices in supporting them and their math learning. Classroom community, responsive instruction, and a sense of belonging matters! #CCTM2026

Are You “GPSing” Your Students in Math Class? middleweb.com/53328/are-you-…

Are We “GPS-ing” Students in Our Math Classes?

When we over-guide math students, we don't build understanding, we replace it, writes author and math coach Pamela Seda. Learn four ways to stop "GPS-ing" them.

The “Skills Before Tools” approach from @Catlin_Tucker, paired with @BrookingsInst research, offer sound guidance for AI in schools. How might we strengthen critical thinking and foundational skills while avoiding cognitive offloading? @mrkelsall @MissGroskin @matthewjmoulton

AI is a support for learning, not a replacement for thinking. That distinction depends entirely on whether students have the skills to evaluate information & exercise sound judgment! More, now on The Balance ⤵️ Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/3MKY5AT Spotify: bit.ly/4tQW5aX

Mathematics. We built ladders to √2, √3, √4, √5, and √6, yet √7 remains a rumor. What architect decided the universe should hide numbers this way?

OpenAI announces AI’s biggest math breakthrough yet scientificamerican.com/artic…

AI just solved an 80-year-old ‘Erdős problem,’ and mathematicians are amazed

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone
