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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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?
