My talk at @NCTM Annual was a dream come true.
I have posted my resources on my brand new Substack! (storytables.substack.com).

“If you can, use a knife” — powerful tools make a difference @MsHelft on her beliefs about mathematics. “Simple, versatile, hard to forget how to use, power is in how you use it.” #NCTMCHI24 #NCTM @KnowlesTeachers

A story table is a table where we tell the whole story. You can start at the beginning, middle or end. @MsHelft #NCTMCHI24 #NCTM

Starting to get excited (and nervous) for @NCTM 's Annual Meeting and my first public talk on Story Tables in 6 years!
Come find me at McCormick Place on Friday morning at 9:45!

Math Internet. Do you teach students to factor with a=1 first and then a>1? For the last several years I have invited students to just use the area model and puzzle it out without diatinguishing the cases. Now I'm finding out that that was unusual. #MTBoS what say you?

Holy.
Wait, only 3 African American students in all of San Francisco took an AP math test in 2020-21. Three?! As Amy Winehouse said, what kind of f%^!ery is this? Thank you to @BethKellySF for the sobering dataviz here. So many troubling things about this. #mtbos #mathchat #statschat
