TODOS: Mathematics for ALL

Join us! TODOS Back to School Slow Chat. Sunday, August 10, 2025

Familia! Join us for the FIRST ever TODOS Bluesky #slowchat this Sunday, August 10th for some good conversation on #BacktoSchool. Prompts will be released for an hour starting at noon PST, but feel free to respond throughout the day!

Tell your #edusky and #mathsky friends!

“I ask": Teacher leads with Socratic questions about an example
• "You figure it out": Students work the example without the teacher explaining
• "You do": Successive problems immediately follow increasing in complexity (see file for authors)

I was playing around a bit with @desmos.com Geometry, and I stumbled upon yet another rearrangement way of demonstrating the Pythagorean theorem. I don't recall seeing this particular version before, so I figured I'd make an animation of it. #iTeachMath #MathSky

Haidt’s logic here is…ridiculous?

The king of Correlation=Causation strikes again!

In a world that feels tense and unpredictable, mathematical thinking offers clarity, logic, and calm. It teaches us to question, analyze, and seek patterns—tools we need not just in math, but in moments that demand clear heads and steady hearts.

The world feels heavy today. No answers here, just a pause—a small detour into the clarity math gives. In a time of noise, even noticing a quiet pattern or a well-framed question can feel like an act of steadiness.

The Way We Teach Math Is All Wrong According to experts, methods of math instruction used in schools actually creates math anxiety and inhibits wide-ranging math proficiency. How can we do better?

Excellent article on, you guessed it, how we are teaching math to our children is all wrong. #Math #KidsMath #LearnMath #MathEd

Assessment is a mirror, not a ranking system.

What are your assessments reflecting back to students about who they are as learners?

Integer Chutes and Ladders In this activity, students will add and subtract integers (-6 to 6) to move their character on the game board. Student scores will be collected and displayed on a leaderboard on the last screen.

Yesterday, my classes were reviewing adding/subtracting intergers so we played with @amplifyeducation.bsky.social ‘s @kurt-salisbury.bsky.social ‘s Chutes and Ladders review. The Ss LOVED it! #ITeachMath #MTBoS #MathsToday teacher.desmos.com/activitybuil...

#ITeachMath #MTBoS friends…saw this piece at my 30th college reunion and thought of you.

Have you registered for this year's CMC-South amazing math experience? #cmcmath web.cvent.com/event/e71067...

As the year ends, pause: What math stories did your students write—not just in numbers, but in courage, struggle, insight?
Growth isn’t always a score.

What did they teach you about math, learning, or yourself?

Rainy day rereading Rethinking Disability and Mathematics, Choosing to See and Impact of Identity in K-12 Mathematics. Makes updating a syllabus more exciting and is inspiring! @mathematize4all.bsky.social @pamseda1.bsky.social

Metaphors for #math #education #iTeachMath "a pipeline for human resources that flows from childhood experiences to scientific careers."

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

YouTube video by Zoe Bee The (Many) Myth(s) of Meritocracy

Friend & collaborator Zoe Bee has released an Avatar-length exploration of what "meritocracy" means in 2025. What is "meritocracy", how is it constructed, and how does that construction actually undermine our ideals of hard work and equality?
