It can be tricky, but the difference between a student needing more time or more help is a crucial one to nail down. www.buzzsprout.com/1062400/epis... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

Shifting the way we view the teaching of mathematics.
#TryThisTuesday Would you rather is such a great routine to get students thinking and sharing about mathematical relationships. Which is your favorite and why? #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
What does it mean to "know you students" in the context of mathematics teaching? Why is that important? www.buzzsprout.com/1062400/epis... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
🎉 Registration is officially OPEN! 🎉 Join me for the FREE 3-Day Models Challenge (August 26–28), where we'll explore how models help students build understanding that sticks. Tag a teacher friend and register today, we'd love to have you join us! www.mathisfigureoutable.com/challenge
Autumn and Aimee showing the world that fractions are figureoutable! Great job! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathStratChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
It's officially Challenge month! 🎉 Registration opens soon… stay tuned! Join me August 26–28 for the FREE 3-Day Models Challenge, where we'll explore how models can support deep, durable mathematical thinking. Know a teacher who would love this? Tag them below and invite them to join you! 💛
Counting is only part of the story. Helping students recognize that the last number counted represents the total builds cardinality—a foundational idea that supports everything from addition to place value and beyond. Link for K-2 book: www.mathisfigureoutable.com/dmrk2 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS
Benjamin Banneker borrowed books, stayed up watching the stars, and taught himself math well enough to correct published astronomers with his own eclipse predictions. No permission, no credentials, just curiosity and persistence. Read more about it here www.mathisfigureoutable.com/blog/benjami...
Have you seen Counted Out? Up til now it's only been available at watch parties and now you're invited. Here's your chance! RSVP to watch watch.eventive.org/countedout/p... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd #Mathematics
#TryThisThursday As Close As It Gets is an instructional routine that can get students thinking. The correct answer is not listed to get students talking about their reasoning. #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
It's time for #MathStratChat! Rules: post your favorite or a clever solution! It's also fun to comment on other's strategies. Tell us about your reasoning. Like/share so others can see! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathStratChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Lovely reasoning Melissa! Fractions are figureoutable and we can teach them that way! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathStratChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Mathematics is naturally intriguing. "Real-world" context can help, but it isn't necessary. www.buzzsprout.com/1062400/epis... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

Cleaning, er, organizing my home office! Phew! Better with a friend. Glad my city recycles... My grandsons have new to them math toys to play with! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
We've welcomed so many new faces lately, so I thought it was time to introduce myself! I'm Pam, and together with an incredible team, we create resources, workshops, books, and community challenges to support teachers. Welcome to Math is Figureoutable! #MathIsFigureOutAble
I'm incredibly honored to be recognized by Education Week for the Ultimate Reading PD List. I'm grateful for every teacher, leader, and learner who has been part of this journey. Together, we're helping more students discover that math is figure-out-able. #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS
📚 New book. 🎧 New audiobook. 💛 Coming this fall. We've been busy behind the scenes, and I can't wait to share what's coming. Who's excited? 👀 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Giving students opportunities to quickly see and identify small groups of objects helps build strong number sense and lays the foundation for future mathematical reasoning. Link for K-2 book: www.mathisfigureoutable.com/dmrk2 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Robert Kaplinsky suggests this intersection between Math Standards and Skills You Truly Need. What are you thinking about AI and math teaching? #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
#TryThisThursday Problem Strings are amazing! Whole class, one problem at a time, teacher modeling student thinking, class discussion, repeat! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

Why might we want students to be 'clever' when solving problems? www.buzzsprout.com/1062400/epis... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
#TryThisTuesday Solve this #problemstring one problem at a time. • What patterns did you notice? • Did solving one help you with another? • What might you record on the board to make thinking visible? #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Tomorrow, we’re talking math! Join me and NumberClub as we explore practical ideas to help students reason, notice patterns, and build lasting mathematical understanding. Who’s joining us? www.mathisfigureoutable.com/numberclub-g... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Great job having some fun with factoring in order to multiply Renee and Shawn! Nice math-ing! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathStratChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
True counting is about making sense of quantity—not just repeating a sequence of words. When students understand what counting actually means, they build a foundation for all the mathematics that follows. Link for K-2 book: www.mathisfigureoutable.com/dmrk2 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath
Place value is more than knowing where a digit sits, it's understanding what that digit represents. www.mathisfigureoutable.com/placevalue #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Whoop! What an honor to make it on the “Ultimate PD Reading List” on EdWeek. I’m super glad readers are finding it helpful! www.edweek.org/leadership/e... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd
Games can do so much more than keep students engaged, they can help students think. Join me next week for a webinar with NumberClub as we explore how to use games to build mathematical reasoning and develop confident problem solvers. www.mathisfigureoutable.com/numberclub-g... #MathIsFigureOutAble
