New blog post! "Find Your (Math) People" -- about the vitally important connections we make w/other teachers. Be a buddy, find your groups, and carry on the legacy of @druinok.bsky.social who left us too soon. #MTBoS #iTeachMath #T3Learns #ForShelli karendcampe.wordpress.com/2025/08/05/f...
Find Your (Math) People
Teaching is hard. The day-to-day cycle of planning, presenting, orchestrating, testing, and reflecting is continuous, and there’s always the uncertainty of how the students will show up (or not) to…

Excited to share my recent article published on @edutopia.org! It doesn't take much to start to shift practice towards a more shared culture of teaching and learning in our math classrooms. #MTBOS #elemmathchat #iteachmath #edusky #mathsky www.edutopia.org/article/stud...
Positioning Elementary Students as Experts in Math Class
Encouraging students to take on roles traditionally reserved for teachers creates a shared culture of teaching and learning in the classroom.

In case you haven’t lately, survey your students. I always forget how much valuable input students are willing to give when you give them the chance!
Not enough people are paying attention to the multiple levels at which eliminating the Department of Education works to advance a bad agenda. As a sociologist, I'm seeing some things are worth your attention as you argue about the role of EdGov in our students' lives: (1/6) 🧵
“KiDs tHeSe days: Can’t tell time Don’t know coins” Reminder that *adults* created the digital clocks & payments. Kids are living in the world adults created. If they only see an analog clock and coins in math class it’s harder to learn! Not that it’s not important but let’s stop blaming the kids.
