Jancey
Clark shares her mathematical transformation and then challenges other teachers
to build their own math confidence, which will empower them to create a
classroom environment rich in student mathematical thinking. |

| Our Students and Their Mathematical Ideas |
In this blog post, Zachary Champagne discusses his fundamental belief that every student who walks into our classrooms has important mathematical ideas. |
| Mathematics Learning Goals Serve as a Guide |
In this follow-up post, Victoria Bill and Laurie Speranzo share how writing mathematical learning goals have helped them make student math talk more productive. |
| Using Talk to Make Sense of Mathematics |
| Encouraging students to talk about mathematics opens opportunities for teachers to learn about their students’ thinking and mathematical reasoning. |
| Sometimes, We Need to Give Them Less |
In this blog post, Zachary Champagne challenges teachers to
consider whether our efforts to “be helpful” actually impede students stretching
their ability to reason mathematically and make sense of problems. |
| How Might Our Beliefs Impact Our Identity as Mathematics Educators? Part 2 |
In this two-part
series, the authors explore whether we base our instructional practices on what
we believe as professional mathematics educators or we simply perpetuate practices
that we experienced as students. |

| Analyzing and Designing Story Problems That Matter |
Carefully selecting or creating problems
posed to students is an important responsibility because they can influence
students’ experiences with mathematics. |
| Number Choice Matters |
| This is the third and final blog post in a
series that examines various characteristics of word problems. |
| Sex, Lies, and Word Problems |
| In the
previous post, we explored the pros and cons of using food as a context in
school mathematics word problems. In this post, we will explore what sex,
sexuality, and gender have to do with mathematics teaching and learning. |
| Consider the Context |
| This
is the first in a new series of blog posts. The focus of the series is on
analyzing and designing tasks as well as rich problem-solving contexts that are
valuable for our students. |
| “This is easy”: The little phrase that causes big problems |

2017 book, Becoming the Math Teacher You Wish You’d Had: Ideas and Strategies from Vibrant Classrooms (Stenhouse
Publishers, Portland, Maine). |
| Watching Classroom Video Productively, Part 2 |
This
two-part blog series is a follow-up to “Supporting
Excellent Teaching of Common Core Content and Practices with Video Clubs” by Meg S. Bates, Cheryl G. Moran, and
Lena Phalen, published in the March 2017 issue of Teaching Children Mathematics. |
| Watching Classroom Video Productively |
| By Meg S. Bates, posted February 27, 2017 — In our recent TCM article, my colleagues and I outlined how educators can facilitate effective conversations around classroom video. The question we sought to answer |
| Noticing and expressing regularity in second grade—Part 2 |
This is the second of a two-part series
that explores whether second graders can develop a deep understanding of the
concept that increasing an addend by one will have the same effect on the sum. |
