Excellent thread by @Dave
How does HS math prepare students for college math? What can we do to optimize success? It's a great question - one that we now have a lot of data about. It's complicated & easily-misinterpreted. And what those data reveal is pretty astonishing. Buckle up.. 1/18
Our next Pride Month honoree is Pamela E. Harris @DPeharris! Pamela E. Harris (she/her/ella) is a Mexican-American mathematician, algebraic combinatorics researcher, and Fellow of the AMS & AWM. #PrideMath
How many regular hexagons can you see? #patternblocks #hexagons #21centuryPB #mathforlove
How we listen is an answer to the question: "Who gets to participate in math, and what does participation look like?" So fun to present this argument @MoMath1! And fun to see @pckeller there. Argument inspired by @GailBurrill at JMM 2019. Thank you @timchartier for the invite!
I love this. I've been thinking recently about what it might mean to be productively or unproductively explicit in instruction. To me, this is a great example of productive explicitness when explaining.
What if I told you that you're not lining up the decimal points, so much as you're matching up the corresponding place values?
The status quo of math ed is failing too many students, particularly students from underserved communities. In the latest AMS Notices, we lay out the *hard work ahead* that mathematicians, educators, curriculum designers, and learning scientists agree on! ams.org/journals/notic…
There are differences in first-term GPA at UIUC across students highest level of math in high school, but overall there are no differences between students who took calculus and students who took statistics in high school. 🧵
An honor to be on this panel! Thank you to Jennifer Schultens and the Joint Committee on Women for organizing.
How lovely to present with @Jennife42328623, @bikewithwings, Lakeshia Jones, & John Nardo, at the @JointMath Meetings in Boston. #JMM2023 It was inspiring to hear these mathematicians talk about the ways they let all students know they are mathematicians.@timchartier
The locus of points whose sum of distances from two fixed points is a fixed value is an ellipse. What is the locus of points whose sum of distances from a fixed point and a fixed line is a fixed value?
Come see @joboaler and me at the JMM! And afterwards head to @tylerkloefkorn and my session on math education, standards, policy, and politics (room 109)!
For anyone heading to the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Boston. I am presenting, with some cool mathematicians, on metacognition & learning, for the Joint Committee on Women in the Mathematical Sciences 😀❤️ I hope to see you there. @Jennife42328623 @bikewithwings
It's not just the procedures and concepts that matter, but also how they fit together. Thank you for sharing this map!
Mathematics standards are not isolated concepts. The Coherence Map offers a visual representation of how the standards are connected, and each standard is illustrated with tasks, lessons, and assignments. Take a look today: bit.ly/2pFhwNN #mathchat #iteachmath #edchat
I just attempted to compliment a student’s writing by telling them they had a actual argument that they supported. I sincerely think this is a compliment. I need to work on my ability to praise writing.
A straight line is drawn across a square. It is always possible to then draw a path that passes through the midpoint of each and every line segment you see. Is this always possible if you draw 2 lines across a square? 3? Any number of lines?

Here is a thread of equilateral triangles with horizontal bases. The only triangles many young children see when they hear the word triangle.
Submitting an abstract speak the Joint Mathematics Meetings? Here are some instructions I wrote up for speakers in an AMS Special Session that I am organizing with Tyler Kloefkorn @tylerkloefkorn, Dave Kung @dtkung, and Blain Patterson! docs.google.com/document/d/1JO…
