periodic reminder of the existence of Atkinson Hyperlegible, a free font available from the Braille Institute designed to improve readability for people with low vision I use it in talks because it's pretty and also because, as an audience member, I am perpetually squinting at people's slides

Opening @nctm.org session at #NCTMATL25. @latrendak.bsky.social kicked off with things to think about and people to thank before handing things over to Matt Larson, who gave an inspiring acceptance speech after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, and to Lateefah Id-Deen, our opening speaker.

Some good news for this Friday. This astonishing group of people have spun up ERICA, the ERIC archive. www.datarescueproject.org/erica-to-the... #GLAMS #Skybrarians #AcademicSky

I browsed the #AERA2025 exhibit hall and saw a lot of books that I want. My question becomes: How many more books can I pile on to my shelves before I trigger a structural collapse of the floor? There's a number. I don't know what it is, and I hope it's pretty big, but there's a number.

Anyway, crazy times. The mission of helping people learn math more deeply and powerfully seems, if anything, more important than ever.

Just had the prep call for the opening panel (on using math to improve the world) at @JustEquations free, virtual conference, The Mathematics of Opportunity. It's going to be great! Join the fun - ensuring that math education expands opportunity for students. Register now: bit.ly/tmo-2025-reg...

Teachers who received the highest award in math and science education are being censored and erased. #edusky

We were talking about our old report cards this morning in the office so I decided to dig mine out. I had one comment from my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Reingardt, and honestly it might be all I've ever wanted people to say about me. "Raymond has good ideas and solutions to problems."

Reading Rathmell (1978) with fresh eyes while participating in a book study of Bay-Williams and SanGiovanni's Figuring Out Fluency. I like this advice regarding drill: It's needed to develop immediate recall, but make sure you're drilling _efficient_ strategies, not inefficient ones. #MTBoS #mathed

On Twitter, I had built up a list of almost 5,000 people who posted pretty reliably about #matheducation. Here's my attempt to start the same kind of list here. I believe you can follow it and pin it to the top of your timeline: bsky.app/profile/did:... #MTBoS #MathEd #iteachmath

"Knowing from Memory" =/= Memorization. This is definitely a call-back to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World' and the introduction of hypnopaedia : ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/englishliter... "The-Nile-is-the-longest-river-in-Africa" #NCTMCHi24 #mtbos

"We know a lot. I don't know if we know the right things yet, but we know a lot." - @ilanahorn.bsky.social, commenting on the state of #mathed at #NCTMCHI24

Try again, ChattyG.

Two things I believed: 1. Students start out in a variety of places, some far ahead of others. 2. Students learn at a variety of rates, some whipping through content, others .. not so much. Data sugges one of these is wrong. Read more... www.mathvalues.org/masterblog/t...

I could probably write a book about how to write standards for education but I expect I might have a hard time convincing people that it helps to stay up until 4 am while listening to The Cure.

I was today years old when I learned www.themathdoctors.org existed. Bravo to keeping a long tradition of helping others going #iTeachMath

A doc student and I just had an individualized tutoring session with one of our academic libraries, on how to use ASU's single search box for a systematic literature review. I had dissed single search boxes for years. No longer. Academic librarians are just awesome.

I considered submitting a manuscript to NCTM today for their Principles to Action special issue, but I hit this: "As a condition of publication, we request that you transfer the copyright of the submitted manuscript to NCTM." And then I just can't do it. :(

I read this article when it first came out. I stumbled across it again. If you haven’t read it, take a moment to do so. Then spend this year exploring how you might introduce “productive struggle” into every math lesson. #iTeachMath www.apmreports.org/e...

Did you attend #NCTMDC23 ? If so, consider blogging about the sessions you attended so we learn from each other! #mtbos #iteachmath

I’m looking forward to getting in trouble on here, too. Let’s get it.

A lingering thought haunting me from #NCTMAnnual last week: What does it mean if we decide a mid-year lesson isn't aligned to a year-end standard?

One last day of conferences! blog.mathed.net/2023/10/so-l... #ASSM #MathEd #MTBoS

Last full day of conferencing! We did math, talked communication strategies, learned about the CBMS, had sessions about fact fluency and assessing strategies, dug into data science, and then I finished it with dinner with Colorado colleagues. blog.mathed.net/2023/10/a-pa... #MTBoS #ASSM #MathEd

Today, the first full day of the #ASSM Annual Meeting, we had leaders from #NCTM, #NCSM, and the #USDOE report their recent activities to us. We also mixed in some discussions, portions of our business meeting, and our group photo. blog.mathed.net/2023/10/repo... #MathEd #MTBoS
