Love flows both ways. Thank you, @HawksMathamagic, @SpringISD and @RobersonSpring, in a magical trip alongside @carnegielearn. The energy and positivity from both your students and faculty was palpable. I'm still on clouds from our day together. Thank you. #longlivemath
What are these middle school students all fired up about? 🔥 Math! 🤯 Still feeling the math joy magic after taking MATHstream off-screen and into @RobersonSpring! ✨ Thank you for having us and @yaymath, @SpringISD, and thanks for sharing your experience, @HawksMathamagic!

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who voted to send me to @SXSWEDU! Connecting with so many of you through this process has been humbling and exciting. It's a reminder that asking for help and going for things is a valuable lesson to model. #SXSWEDU #SXSW2027

I often say to my students, "I love when students use the word 'just'." Fellow educators, try saying that to your students. Then observe the look on their faces. They feel seen and attuned with. #TeachingTips #EduSpark #yaymath

How should teachers/parents react when a kid says they hate school? My daughter lives this. Here's how we respond, from my convo with Mireia Lopez Montez. #SchoolLife #Parenting #yaymath

10-year throwback to Yay Math's StatsCenter! With the Super Bowl on Sunday, revisit this parody of SportsCenter where I do funny impressions of sports celebs, including my take on the iconic John Madden. #YayMath #Statistics

Vulnerability mustn't be dramatic. Sometimes it's as simple as eye contact and a genuine greeting. Suspend everything else for a moment. Show you're present. #Leadership #Connection

Math confidence gone? Seneca thought she was stuck being bad at math for life. Then Robert came along and changed everything. Grades went up, curiosity returned, and math became joyful again. #yaymath #SuccessStory

I'm a sucker for spontaneous math jokes. Especially when students make them. Engaged math jokes = ideal math learning vibe. #MathJokes #MathPuns #MathTeacher #MiddleSchoolMath #6thgrademath #yaymath

I love traveling to Florida to speak, because the teachers truly care, and we so align on such important values. Thank you for having me, @browardschools.
We were inspired by keynote speaker @yaymath at the @BrowardMath Alg1 Summit, who reminded us that great teaching starts with connection. When we truly see, hear, and value our students, real learning begins. ❤️ @DrFlem71 @evans_ame @gbarmoha @BCPSNorthRegion #RelationshipsMatter

People often praise teachers which is great. But we rarely discuss the negative impact of those who don't like the work any more. #TeacherImpact #Education

If we can laugh together, we can learn together. #yaymath

Instead of apologizing for mistakes, students should focus on "figuring it out." Mistakes are a chance to experiment and be vulnerable, and learning is never something to apologize for. #math #learning

In this interview clip, I share my personal experience from 8th grade, where my teachers' belief and my father's support transformed my life. It's how I learned the importance of a student's emotional state while learning. #education #learning
