Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Just watched a fantastic webinar from @mathematize4all.bsky.social! She mentioned at the end the metaphor of some concepts being “load-bearing walls”. I’ll be thinking about this more! Such a powerful idea. What foundations need to be strong to hold up the rest of the math building?

Great counting collections idea for upper grades! #iTeachMath
How many pieces of chalk? How do you know?

The box can hold 3 layers of these boxes. How many boxes can it hold? How many pieces of chalk would that be?

Share your strategies!

These are all great and easy ideas! #iTeachMath

And to echo others, teachers and leaders, repeat this until it sticks:

You know NO undocumented people.

NOT families, NOT children, NOT anyone.

You DO NOT suspect anyone is.

You have NO information otherwise.

Silence is golden. Move on.

K-5 Teachers, or anyone who teaches in a self-contained classroom: we know teaching ALL the subjects is a monumental task. What are some ways you wish a math coach could support you? (can be related to content, standards, pedagogy, resources, anything!) #ITeachMath #EduSky #ElemMath

For all the fans of dot talks, number talk images, and counting collections, this looks like so much fun (and a great way to spark math discussions)! #ITeachMath
Good morning!

Number one way in the coming weeks to support the work that brought you Which One Doesn't Belong?, Tiling Turtles, Math On-A-Stick, and the Hierarchy of Hexagons is this:

Pop into your fave bookstore or library to ask for How Did You Count? ISBN: 978-1032898353

Coming in March

This is so helpful for the third grade standard of comparing fractions based on their size. No procedures for making common denominators in that grade level! #iteachmath

Hi BlueSky! I am a math coach/consultant with almost 25 years of teaching and coaching experience. I've been lurking for a while, enjoying the vibes of this space. Looking forward to exploring this community-might start blogging, might offer some personalized support, we'll see what 2025 brings!
