New Blog Post: Inputs & Outputs Reflecting on a session with Amy Lucenta and Grace Kelemanik at NCTM 2025, examining areas of cognition and micro-routines for engagement of all students.

Inputs and Outputs
I recently returned from NCTM in Atlanta. It was a beautiful week of learning and connection (and late night karaoke -- priorities). "Let's See What You're Saying." On Friday, I attended a session with Grace Kelemanik and Amy Lucenta entitled "Engage all students in mathematical ideas and processes by planning from the margins in." (It was predictably brilliant; I love…

Canucks have made marketing misstep after marketing misstep over the past decade...but never done anything like this
Craig Berube speaks to the media after the Leafs were eliminated from the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs in front of a sign that reads "No Grit. No Grind. No Greatness." which is meant to be inspirational but instead is the most on-point thing ever written.

Can you solve the puzzle?  What goes in each blank of the area model?
A 2 row by 3 column array is shown.  To the left of the array, a 2x is shown in row 1 and a 3 is shown in row 2.  A 10x^3 is shown in the 1st row, 1st column cell.  The rest of the cells and the 3 spaces above the first row all have question marks.  Under the array, the total area is given as 10x^3 + 23x^2 – 4x – 24.

#MathsToday Today was day 1 of logarithms in #MHF4U so I presented students with this, inspired by James Tanton.
The picture shows the word power with subscript 2 of 8 equals 3 and power with subscript 5 of 25 equals 2, followed by nine more without the value for students to figure out.

Applications of simultaneous equations might be my favourite topic. There are just so many fun problem types! We did these Don Steward beauties in Y10 #MathsToday.
Four problems about the height of two stacks of congruent rectangles. Four problems about diagrams made up of congruent rectangles drawn on a coordinate grid. Three problems that can be represented by simultaneous equations: one about the length of two strings of square and circular beads, one about the weight of a bucket containing different amounts of water, and one about the value of a given number of coins.

Percentages of an amount with Y7, using the excellent MathsPad percentages bar www.mathspad.co.uk/i2/teach.php... #MathsToday
If 100% is 400,
what other percentages can you work out?

The picture shows a bar split into 10 large sections, each marked into 10 smaller sections. Markers above the bar show various percentages, while markers below it show the corresponding amount for each percentage.

Another great piece from @ddmeyer.bsky.social. This one skewers Sal Khan and Khan Academy. I love this critical thinking and pushback against a millionaire trying to shape public education. #EduSky danmeyer.substack.com/p/five-inter...
Other countries level the playing field for their kids through redistributive policies like child welfare, public housing, nationalized health care, etc, all of which would require increasing the tax burden on economic elites. It should not surprise us to see which of those dreams receive fawning coverage during primetime corporate media.
