Look what arrived! Just when you thought the K-5 book was big, the 6-12 is even thicker! I've been through it already and wow—@pgliljedahl and @webbkyle really delivered. You want this. 🔥

This is a great opportunity to learn from a BTC expert.

Peter Liljedahl sera au Congrès du GRMS à Sherbrooke au mois de novembre! Je co-animerai des ateliers avec lui au sujet de la classe collabo-réflexive. Venez apprendre avec des enseignants francophones qui s'intéressent à l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des mathématiques !

Intéressé à la classe collabo-réflexive? Cet atelier est pour vous! Venez vivre l'expérience afin de découvrir et/ou approfondir les 14 pratiques pédagogiques préconisées et les éléments fondamentaux de l'approche. Informations et inscription ici: sites.google.com/view/pierre-t/…

Next Tuesday, I'm hosting a free math webinar on "Building Coherence through Problem-Based Tasks, Conceptual Understanding, and Procedural Fluency." When: Tuesday, September 9, 2025 Times: 7:30 Eastern Time / 4:30 Pacific Time Registration link: info.gfletchy.com/buildingcohere…

@Zakchamp Such a great image! Do you mind if I (eventually) add it to the Number Talk Images website?

Cool light fixture in our Alaska Airbnb makes for a great How Many? How Many? How did you count?

Exciting news!!! Whether a teacher or a coach, BTC has you covered in our new set of Summer Institutes! Come experience one of two separate but overlapping institutes for teachers and coaches. July 20, 2025. Sacramento, California! [1/3]

Make sure you register for #BTCC25 before it is too late. The conference is already 70% full. @BTCthinks btc2025.sched.com

It was a great honor to chat with @webbkyle and @MaeganGiroux (a.k.a. BTC royalty) about #thinkingclassrooms. @ThinkThankPod thinkthankthunk.ca/ep-22/ Is that really my name down there?!

@C_Hendrick I've proposed a 4 part framework for the teachers in my school: "Practice", Games, Number Talks and Fluency Puzzles/Challenges. For the aspect of practice, Fluency by Heart is the best resource I have found: fluency.amplify.com

Primary teachers: how do you help your students (Key Stage 1/Grade 1–2) learn their multiplication tables?

For me, a tape diagram is my go-to. cc/ @dhabecker

The number of users, especially in the #MTBoS and #ITeachMath worlds, on that blue social media space seems to have exploded in the last few days. The conversation is more civilized, the ads are nonexistent, and the feel is surprisingly hopeful. Come join us in the Sky! 😉

@NatBanting I feel like it's less and less generative on this app and I don't see it getting better. In the blue place, I'm optimistic and feel there has been a shift in the landscape. Maybe we aren't at critical mass yet, but we might be getting there...

Guess I’m going to dig up my password for the blue place. It still feels too niche be generative, but maybe teachers make their way there eventually 🤷‍♂️

Establishing routines in the classroom is not a strength of mine. So I really appreciated the idea from @MikeFlynn55 to put together small Tupperware boxes to organize materials needed for each group in my #thinkingclassroom. Streamlined the process of getting started!

@NatBanting I see this process as another occasion to engage in Thinking while transferring knowledge from collective to individual.

Can someone link me to a template for "meaningful notes" They look like Frayer Models with spaces for key pieces of info, noticings, worked examples, etc. etc. #BTC #iteachmath
