Tywana Fulford & Brooke Powers will introduce us to Humanizing Mathematics, a new curriculum, and show us how it's different. www.facebook.com/math4allshow or tinyurl.com/5hdrd5zd @mollyvokey.bsky.social @heidisabnani.bsky.social #iteachmath #iteachmaths #math4all @tywanafulford @brookepowers

January is full of meaningful conversations about math, leadership, and building classrooms where curiosity and identity matter. Grateful to learn alongside educators across the country this month. #HumanizingMath #MathEd

Such a great time at #CMCNorth sharing Ted Lasso + CA Math and connecting with so many inspiring educators! 💙💛 New: I’ve added a one-page download of the session’s 5 lessons + CA Math Framework connections to my site. 👉 brooke-powers.com/resources Keep believing. ✨

December is a leadership reset. Clarity > urgency. Focus > hustle. Intention > noise. What’s one thing you’re holding onto this month?

“Being changed for good is inevitable. Being changed for the better is intentional.” My latest blog explores the lasting impact we have on students and on each other. We are changing people permanently. The question is: how? 🔗 www.brooke-powers.com/realtalk/cha... #wicked #edchat #mtbos

Headed to #CMCNorth and bringing a little Ted Lasso spirit with me! ⚽️✨ Ted Lasso + CA Math: 5 Lessons for Teachers Who Believe 📅 Sat 12/6, 8–9 AM PT 📍 Hearth And yes… Ted’s cutout will be there for photos. 😄📸 See you in Pacific Grove!

Grateful for everyone who joined my #MakeMathMoments session. 💛 Your feedback was everything — the hard questions landed, the pop culture hit, and the reflection was real. If you attended, you’ve got the Reflection Deck. Here’s to more joy, more thinking, and less rescuing. ✨

🎬 What If We’re the Ones Holding Back the Math (and Other Hard Questions With a Little Help From Pop Culture) I’ve been working on something new 👀 Catch my session at the Make Math Moments Virtual Summit — Nov 15 • 6pm ET ✨ Free to join: summit.makemathmoments.com?sc=zFUq5dAx&... #edchat #mtbos

What a week! 💜 From Leading Boldly at NCSM to the Math Remix Live Party at NCTM — so much joy, learning, and community. Grateful for old friends, new faces, and a whole lot of math magic. 🎧📚 #NCTM2025 #NCSM2025 #MathEducation

If Abbott Elementary had a math leadership spinoff… this would be it. Join me tomorrow at NCSM for Leading Boldly: Elevating Math Instruction with Lessons Inspired by Abbott Elementary. 📅 Tuesday 12:45–1:45 📍 M-104 #NCSM2025 #AbbottElementary #MathLeadership #NCSMbold

Conference season is here, and how you show up matters. 6 ways to make every session count: 1️⃣ New voices 2️⃣ Classroom teachers 3️⃣ Discomfort = growth 4️⃣ Hallway convos 5️⃣ Downtime to process 6️⃣ Capture what matters Full post: Showing Up with Intention www.brooke-powers.com/realtalk/con...

“Every voice matters. Joy belongs at the center of learning.” 💛 Excited to share my session at #NCSM2025 Atlanta: Lessons in Belonging, Joy & Bold Leadership from Abbott Elementary 📅 Oct 14 | 12:45–1:45 📍 M-104 Come for the reflection, stay for the Abbott stickers 🖤

“Mistakes aren’t failures in math — they’re the start of learning. 🌱 When classrooms make mistakes safe, kids take risks, explain their thinking, & find joy in the process. That’s Humanizing Mathematics. #MathEducation #JoyfulLearning”

So excited to be part of the 2025 Make Math Moments Virtual Summit! ✨ I’ll be sharing “What If We’re the Ones Holding Back the Math?” — a session mixing tough questions + pop culture to rethink how we show up for kids in math. 📅 Nov 14–16 | 🎟️ Free & virtual | Register at linke below!:

Hispanic Heritage Month begins today. For multilingual learners, access isn’t just translation, it’s affirmation: ✨ Your language belongs here. ✨ Your culture belongs here. Belonging must be designed from the start. #HispanicHeritageMonth #EquityInEducation

📚✨ International Literacy Day reminds us that literacy is more than words. It's identity, joy, and possibility. Sharing a favorite old photo of my girls reading together 💜 #InternationalLiteracyDay #TeachingTruths

Joyful learning isn’t fluff. It’s fuel. When kids laugh, connect, & see themselves at work, they take bigger risks. They stretch. They grow. Joy isn’t after the ‘real work.’ It is the real work. How do you build joy into your practice? #JoyfulLearning #TeachingTruths

How long does it take new materials to feel in place? Research: 3–5 years. 🌱 Not failure — the reality of deep change. The key isn’t ‘fidelity.’ It’s integrity: honoring both design + local context. What’s worked (or not worked) for you? #MathEducation #CurriculumLeadership

A few weeks ago, I dropped a teaser full of silhouettes. At HIVE, Pop Culture Chaos and Teaching Truths! came to life—and it was loud, honest, and full of heart. Still thinking about where it might go next. #HIVE2025 #PopCulture#MiniNote #TeacherTruths #OURHIVE

I don’t quite have the words yet for what HIVE meant this year, but I know it meant everything. More to come soon. For now, just holding tight to the joy of it all. In the meantime… start packing your glitter and grit, see you in VEGAS next year. 💫🎲 #OURHIVE #HIVE2025

One last #OURHIVE preview. No context. No captions. Just trust me. #HIVE2025 #StayTuned

I'm working on something special for Open Up Resources #OURHIVE. It is bold, chaotic, and completely me. Stay tuned!

Still reflecting on two incredible sessions at #LitMath2025 Abbott was standing room only — real talk, laughter and joy. My other session went deep on language, identity, and access. Catch Abbott again at HIVE and NCSM. Ted Lasso’s coming to CMC North. Let’s go.

I'd love to see you today if you are at #LitMath25! Experience some ready-to-use routines for Literacy and Math you can implement with ease!

📺✨ Lessons in Equity, Belonging, and Joyful Learning from Abbott Elementary 🗓 Tuesday, June 17 | ⏰ 10:30 AM 📍 NCTE–NCTM Joint Conference | Salon 7 & 8, Lower Level We'll have a great time, and 💥 Bonus: I’ve got some seriously awesome Abbott stickers to share. #LitMath2025

📣 Chicago, get ready — I'm bringing my best Janine Teague's energy to the 2025 Joint Conference for Elementary Literacy and Mathematics! Come for the strategies, stay for the Barbara Howard-level wisdom (and maybe a few Janine-style jokes). 😄 See you at #LitMath2025! @nctm.org

Left Central CA with a full heart + big dreams 💙 Shared what Ted Lasso might say about the CA Math Framework (“be curious, not judgmental”) + got to see the amazing @howiehua.bsky.social + @cmmteach.bsky.social + @duanehabecker.com ! Big things ahead for our Cali!🍊✏️

What a week! Started the week at Eastern Guilford HS supporting teachers with strategies to boost discourse + engage MLLs. Ended at Charter Oak Intl Academy with Georgina Rivera—saw joyful, inquiry-based learning in action. More on that soon! ✨📚 #EdLeadership #edchat #schoolsmatter

Who in the #mtbos world can solve this? I’ve tried 4,072 roughly. Love being a mom and a math teacher 🤦🏻‍♀️

Having the best time at #NCTE24 in Boston with the most amazing #ELA team ever! My Top 3 Highlights: 🦻Hearing Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson speak 🤣 Laughing with Kate McKinnon during her keynote ❤️ Reflecting on Love and Pedagogy with Gholdy Muhammad and Lorena German

I am beyond excited to be headed to my first #NCTE conference! If you’re there I’d love to say hi!

I have sooo many concerns about this question on my 8th grade child’s math homework 🤦🏻‍♀️ I get what they were trying to do but….going through the origin alone doesn’t make something proportional and other relationships also pass through the origin. Afraid this will just perpetuate misconceptions.

Me as a middle school teacher: “why can’t these parents get their kids to do their work” Me as a middle school parent: “how do these teachers expect me to get my kids to do this work” 🤦🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️😭 #mtbos #mathchat #parenting

I am thrilled to be on the Math4All Show this week! Join us Thursday, November 21st, at 7 pm ET to dive into the question, "What could we learn from integrating math and ELA professional learning?" #mtbos #edchat #math #literacy #professionallearning

No idea what I am doing, but here I am anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️
