Mike Flynn said early in our conversation: if he had learned math this way, it would have changed everything for him. Teachers who know that feeling fight hardest to give it to their students. flynneducation.com 🎧 tinyurl.com/2tbvwx49 @zakchamp.bsky.social #MathChat #BlueGlassesMath

The WEF says resilience, flexibility & agility are the most sought-after skills and the most in decline. They're built through practice. Math class is where that practice happens. 💙 #BlueGlassesMath #ProductiveStruggle #MathEducation

Shelby Strong started a math routine Zoom series in 2022 frustrated that teachers were asked to teach in ways they'd never experienced as learners. By week 3, they'd maxed out the room. 🎧 shorturl.at/7j5wJ #MathChat #BlueGlassesMath

Embracing confusion is part of the human experience of learning anything. Math class is an amazing place to foster that. #BlueGlassesMath #MathEducation

The WEF says working through complex problems together builds social skills and human connection. Math class can do that when we give students something real to lead. 💙 #BlueGlassesMath #MathEducation #GrowthMindset

"Be authentically you. Humans love authenticity." - Rob Baier Students don't need a perfect teacher. They need a real one. 🎧 shorturl.at/rWvxV #MathChat #BlueGlassesMath"

I once told my students: I'm not taking these textbooks away because you can't do the math in them. I'm taking them away because they're not helping us move forward. #BlueGlassesMath #MathEducation

The WEF is clear: creative thinking can't be outsourced or shortcut. It's built when students make real decisions about their own thinking. Math class is where that starts. 💙 #BlueGlassesMath #CreativeThinking #MathEducation

What are we supposed to teach if AI can already do the math? Robert Kaplinsky and I dug in. The answer: problem solving. Thinking. Communicating. Not computation. 🎧 shorturl.at/K6fPV #MathChat #BlueGlassesMath

Being a math person is all just a matter of perspective. #BlueGlassesMath #MathEducation

The hardest part of teaching math isn't the math. It's watching a kid struggle and not rescuing them from it. That discomfort is usually ours, not theirs. Learning to sit with it is part of the job. 💙 #BlueGlassesMath #ProductiveStruggle #MathEducation

Summer rerun 🎤 Ted Dintersmith (@t-dint.bsky.social) told me about a school that built rigorous math learning out of hip-hop and kids ran, not walked, into class. Relevance fuels engagement. Engagement shapes belief. 🎧 shorturl.at/r6j1C #MathChat #BlueGlassesMath

Belief → action → result. That cycle runs in every math classroom — for better or worse. Had a great conversation about this on @math4allshow. 🎧 www.youtube.com/live/py1eXHw... #MathEducation #BlueGlassesMath #MathBeliefs

Wow, was I ready for today's Blue Glasses Math episode! Breathwork for teachers, with Ashlee Livingstone. Great one, @pambrett.bsky.social! ✨ www.blueglassesmath.org/podcast/epis...

In my conversation with Ashlee, we explored how simple practices like intentional breathing can help educators reset, regulate, and sustain their energy for the work that matters most. #TeacherCapacity #TeacherWellbeing #Education #BlueGlassesMath

"Driveway breathing"- do not enter your home until you've regulated your energy. Ashlee Livingstone designed breath work specifically for teachers. New episode Wednesday. This one's for you. 🎧 #BlueGlassesMath #TeacherWellbeing #BreathWork

ICYMI 🎙️ Pam Brett: "I just shut my classroom door -because everybody thought I was crazy." On why changing math culture requires redefining success at every level of the system. 🎧 shorturl.at/26p8l youtu.be/Z6pYOo9L9RY #MathEd #BlueGlassesMath

New episode out now! 🎙️ TNTP research found 3 things top math schools share: belonging, consistency & coherence. Are your interventions connected to Tier 1? TNTP article: tntp.org/publication/... Ann Elise @anneliserecord.bsky.social & I break it down. #MathEd #BlueGlassesMath

New ep Wednesday! 🎙️ Ann Elise Record on how one consultant visit unlocked her visual math brain — and why building math intuition is about experience. #MathEd #BlueGlassesMath

Let’s say the quiet part out loud: The world our students are entering doesn’t need them to follow step-by-step math procedures by hand. It needs them to: → solve unfamiliar problems → communicate thinking → navigate uncertainty But we’re not spending enough time there. ⬇️

“High” and “low” often reflect the task—not the student. 🔍 This conversation shows what happens when we shift to meaningful problem solving. www.openmiddle.com 🎧 shorturl.at/K6fPV youtu.be/bnJaRdSkRLU #MathChat #GrowthMindset

Naming the belief is the first step 🔓 Too many educators feel “not enough”—and it’s holding classrooms back. New episode with @LieslMcConchie Wednesday 🎧 What belief are you ready to release? 💭 #MathChat #GrowthMindset

Computation isn’t the future of math—thinking is. 🧠 This conversation with @robertkaplinsky highlights what really matters: problem solving, communication, and learning to navigate uncertainty. How are you prioritizing thinking in your classroom? #MathChat #MathematicsEducation #GrowthMindset

Change spreads one educator at a time. 🔥 You can be the spark. 🎧 🔁 Listen or Watch now. shorturl.at/U5NSY youtu.be/6zAfR4naJ6Q #MathChat #GrowthMindset

Math identity starts early—and it sticks. ✨ Emotions and math are inseparable. If we want students to see themselves as math people, we must design for it. 🎧 New episode Wednesday. #MathChat #GrowthMindset

Students paying others to do digital math work-This isn’t about motivation-it’s about meaning. When tasks lack ownership, students disengage. I’m reflecting on how we design math experiences worth doing.🎧 shorturl.at/pMttr How do you make math meaningful? 👇 #EdTech #MathChat #MathTeacher #Teaching

“The answer is 8. What did I do?”Starting with the answer invites curiosity and ownership. Instead of chasing procedures, students build meaning. Try it: give students an answer tomorrow and ask them to make it true.What answer will you start with? 👇 #MathChat #MathTeacher #GrowthMindset #Teaching
