For those unfamiliar with the buy it for life movement, it’s a grassroots rebellion against a culture and an economy designed to be disposable. Adherents look for items that will stand the test of time, even if they cost more up-front. wapo.st/4r8UNq3

Mathematics is not a subject in which we memorize many answers; it is a subject in which we learn to think in a certain way. It is important that, as you work through this book, you think for yourself. #iTeachMath

How Can Educators Teach in These Turbulent Times? With @christienold.bsky.social and others is new @edweek.org post www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Some interesting choices were made here with regards to hyperlinked sources and link phrasing. Is all I'm going to say about that.

I love the word "schoolman" because it's such a great distillation of a particular type of person in and around education. Not all schoolmen are men. Most are. Not all schoolmen work in education - a sizable chunk don't.

Funny how from 1990 until about 2015, test outcomes for American K-12 students generally improved, and yet so few seem to care about the lessons from that era.

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive. From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Mozilla will allow Firefox users to entirely block current and future generative AI features on the browser after user feedback revealed many who wanted an AI-free browser experience.

The machines ask questions of a student. If a correct answer is provided the machine offers new information. If a wrong answer is given the machine moves back to simpler material… pupils will learn in 1 hour what it takes a human teacher a whole day to teach them in laborious classroom instruction!

Ah, prediction. Howbare we doing onbthe way to a 3,000,000 Dow Jones industrial average? #iTeachMath Article from 2000 www.nytimes.com/2000/01/01/b...

I flinch at the term “kindergarten readiness.” It implies the burden is on the kid to be ready for the school, not on the school to be ready for the kid. You accept kids as is in a public school.

Scripted curricula are written for imaginary students. My article in @edutopia.org highlights 4 strategies to effectively adapt lessons to be more inclusive & engaging for real-life learners. #iteach #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky www.edutopia.org/article/modi...

Some years ago, I was chatting with a Retropolis reader, a young history student, and I mentioned there were several dozen people enslaved in New Jersey up until the day the 13th Amendment kicked in in December 1865. Y’all. He identified every one of them. njs.libraries.rutgers.edu/index.php/nj...

Traditional math, 1920's "Nothing is included merely for mental gymnastics. Training is obtained through content that is of intrinsic value. The formation and persistence of useful habits is not left to be a chance result of indiscriminate drill and review."

traditional math, 1879 "It will be found best to drill constantly on such combinations of numbers as are given in the first lessons, until the class has thoroughly mastered them. Care should be taken that drill work does not become machine work." #iTeachMath

I wonder how many people a)realize, and b) understand why, the sunrise happens in different positions across the year

Posts have referred to neo-Nazi lit, ethnic cleansing & QAnon conspiracies, mused abt deporting nearly 1/3 of US population, promoted lyrics from an anthem bellowed by the Proud Boys.

Got to visit a grade 5 lesson today. A slow reveal stacked area chart, where the teacher gradually revealed more information on it. There's something about the whodunnit in this that seems to really propel thinking and discussion. #SlowRevealGraph

Definitions always matter #iTeachMath

We filed an emergency declaration in our case, Tincher v. Noem, to submit a first-hand account of federal agents shooting Alex Pretti. ICE's violent and lawless attacks on our communities must be stopped.

The outcome is not the same thing as the process. Just because learning results in changes in memory doesn't mean that retrieving information is all you focus on. Motivation matters! If you want children and young people to love learning you have to help them understand that it's joyful. ☺️ #EduSky

Didn't get a chance to join us for the kickoff of the Math Routine Collaborative? No worries! SUPER excited to share that we have partnered with @keepinlearning.bsky.social and @cfless.bsky.social to create the MRC Podcast, and the trailer is out now on Spotify! open.spotify.com/show/1Bi3j6D...

We don't want our students just to know things, we want them to understand. #iTeachMath

If anyone wants to take this on, we have photos of the signs that were taken down archived at saveoursigns.org. they are copyright free so you can display them, make a website, whatever!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

C'MON TEAM, WE CAN DO IT

How can we leverage what we know and love about teaching reading to bring more joy to math class? Deborah Peart Crayton joins us Thursday, Jan. 22 at 7 PM EST www.facebook.com/math4allshow or tinyurl.com/5hdrd5zd @mollyvokey.bsky.social @heidisabnani.bsky.social #iteachmath #iteachmaths #math4all

A Little Shift in Teaching Can Go a Long Way in the Classroom www.edweek.org/teaching-lea... with @mathillustrated.bsky.social and others is new @edweek.org post

“Inquiry-led” instruction “increases the likelihood that learners will settle on partial, unstable, or context-bound models that require later correction” Not in my world #iTeachMath

I highly recommend educators of all stripes read 7th grade Micha's reviews/impressions of the edtech that he uses in his day-to-day activities for school. micahblachman.beehiiv.com/p/is-educati...

Urgent call to action, Texans: we need to write to our State Board of Education members and tell them NOT to adopt the proposed required reading list they’re considering at the the end of the month. It is BAD. I wrote about why here: franklinstrong.substack.com/p/call-to-ac...

Happy new #ProblemSolving year! The January Calendar of #math problems is posted!! Enjoy them w/your students or yourself--please share your thinking & solutions here or on the post. #iTeachMath #MTBoS #T3Learns #RecreationalMath #MathSky #MathsToday karendcampe.wordpress.com/2026/01/01/j...

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

1984 novel as an instruction manual

Last Thursday, 293 mathematical scientists converged on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. They came from 47 states and 176 unique districts to visit their representatives and senators. Their mission: to advocate for math and science funding. Read more: https://www.ams.org/news?news_id=7598

The good old days? #iTeachMath

A “how to guide” to education rhetoric: 🧵 1. Mythologize a “lost,” better, “traditional”past. 2. Appeal to emotion. 3. Blame a group for the downfall & current problems. 4. Exaggerate selective information. 5. Spread mistrust of (some) experts. 6. Declare a crisis.

America has a history of stealing land and terrorizing people

That David French NYT op-ed people are raving about is the problem with white punditry. Talking about the Nazi dual state without ever mentioning that Nazis learned from white America and its treatment of Black people. Jesus Christ it is painful waiting for y'all to catch up

Hi hi I have really exciting news The Math Routine Collaborative starts back up THIS SUNDAY! Join us as the one and only @mfannie.bsky.social leads the routine Notice and Wonder You can register at strongermath.com/MRC to participate in math routines and unpack how to lead them in your classroom.

ICE actions are not a radical break but an intensification and extension of bipartisan consensus on the need for punitive immigration policy. Since its post-9/11 creation, people have warned that the tools given to ICE would eventually be turned on citizens.
