Spent the last 2 days at Randolph ES in Arlington with this amazing coaching & admin team. We reflected, planned, and set goals to move forward alongside teacher teams. It was a magical couple of days.

Are you using Open Middle problems in your class? The amount of math students do with one simple problem is amazing. And they are so much more engaging There are so many available at openmiddle.com. I used one with my undergraduates last night. Thanks @robertkaplinsky.com for this amazing resource!

I was honored to give the Keynote for last night's GRCTM conference in Richmond. The focus was on building a Mathematics community. Here's the thing: Building community in the Mathematics classrooms doesn't stop after the first couple of weeks of school. It's daily. It's ongoing. #MathWorkshop

Spent the last two evenings facilitating virtual PL with the Rural Math Collaborative Intervention Pilot in CA. These teachers will be using Heinemann's Do The Math intervention. I'm supporting with establishing a blend of whole group & small group instruction. @heinemannpub.bsky.social

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Spent the day in classrooms at Randolph Elementary school in Arlington. Reasoning, routines, small-group instruction, and learning stations were all underway in the third week of school. Thank you for inviting me, Carlos Ramirez.

Cohort 2 at Fort Belvoir ES in Fairfax County, VA ended today. The Math Workshop professional learning was such a pleasure to facilitate. This group of educators reflected on their current state and made strong, reasonable goals for next steps. I can't wait to continue partnering with them.

Cohort 1 at Fort Belvoir ES in FCPS ended today. We wrapped up with small-group instruction, learning stations, and reflection. So many more pictures to share of this incredible group in action. For now, I'll share our group pic of this phenomenal group of smiling teachers!

My work with Arlington Public Schools always brings me joy. The leadership is thoughtful, and the educators are dedicated. Today I had the pleasure of working with elementary coaches, and it was wonderful to hear them discussing the great things happening in their schools.

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Another spectacular day at Fort Belvoir ES, and I'm already excited for my time there again next week. These teachers just started their school year and were still willing to spend the day lesrning more about math I struction. My goal: To be worth the sub plans!

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I can tell how much math talk I'll hear in a classroom just by looking at the desks! Kids who sit together are more likely to talk together. If you want more discourse, try moving a few desks into clusters this week. It's a small shift that makes a big difference!

010

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Today was just the first of several magical days at Fort Belvoir ES in Fairfax County Public Schools, VA. Today we discussed the bones and heart of math workshop. The questions, comments, and overall participation were 🔥🔥🔥. Can't wait to continue with more of the teachers tomorrow.

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Halfway up this hike, huffing and puffing, I really wanted to turn around. I'm so glad I didn't! Standing at the top, proud of myself, I kept thinking: this is the feeling I want kids to have in math. Not because it was easy, but because they stuck with something challenging!

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Today in Math Methods, the topic was early number development: the learning trajectory for counting, counting strategies, & common misunderstandings. We explored ways to give young students opportunities to count, & the noise in the classroom let me know that these adult students loved it too!

Carlin Springs Elementary was amazing yesterday. A new curriculum resource always means some questions. Our new resource helps us to teach within our math workshop model. The research, the beliefs, and the tenets ground us in creating the best learning experiences for students.

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Started my day today at Claremont Immersion school in Arlington , and boy was it 🔥🔥🔥. These teachers hold high expectations for students and for themselves. We discussed how math workshop aligns to productive beliefs and the research. Their students are fortunate to have them.

We packed a lot in to a day at Falling Creek Elementary in Chesterfield County, VA. We focused on creating structures that work without draining the life out of the teachers. 3rd-5th teachers dug into multiplication/division. K-2nd worked on addition/subtraction. Loved this amazing group!

Arlington Public Schools has a special place in my heart. ❤️ So, working with their new elementary teachers today brought me so much joy! Their insightful conversations and thoughtful questions made our work together powerful! Thank you for the invitation!

My morning with teachers at Our Lady of Good Council in Vienna, VA was spent on doable and sustainable strategies to create a student-centered #MathWorkshop classroom. Reasoning routines, focus lessons, small-group, learning stations, & reflection. Students are going to love their math classes!

Raise your hand if math class was rows of desks, silent worksheets, and praying you didn't get called on. 🙋 Now imagine handing your students the total opposite - talk, tools, joy. That's Math Workshop, and the book shows you how: linktr.ee/jennifer.lempp

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

JUMP SCARE! The new school year is right around the corner, while some of you are already back. As you learn your new class, be as gentle with yourself as you would be with them. You would never expect a student to have it figured out by week one. You do not have to either! You got this

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I was back in one of my happy places today at Handley High School in Winchester Public Schools. We looked at research and beliefs of a student-centered math class and discussed small tweaks we can make to our class to help increase engagement and achievement. These teachers are amazing!

Three buckets. That's what stands between you and math workshop success! 🪣 Classroom arrangement, routines and procedures, and mathematics community. And the best part is you don't need a perfect classroom to fill them, just a purposeful one. Fill all three and watch your math class transform!

Sometimes all a student needs is a sentence frame and the right manipulatives. This beaded rack supports thinking. The frame gives them the words to explain it. Putting sentence frames and manipulatives into stations means kids who used to stay quiet start explaining their math out loud!

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Hiding the manipulatives in a cabinet? Bad move, friend. Keeping them out and accessible builds student discourse, deeper thinking, and real understanding of the math! It can be as simple as bins everyone can see and reach :)

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

I saw this on a school visit & it stuck with me. Teaching isn't just math or science or history, it's helping students shift their mindset. It applies to us teachers too! The way we talk to ourselves about our teaching shapes how we grow and help our students to do the same!

000

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Are you headed to VCTM at the end of the month? If so, I'd love to see you there! I'm presenting twice about strategies to amplify student voice and increase engagement. SPOILER ALERT: They are quick, practical, and manageable strategies you can start implementing on day 1 of the school year.

000

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Whole group, small group, learning stations, and cooperative learning... So many options, but what do they all mean? Let me break it down for you in this thread!

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

I asked teachers what math was like for them as students – the sticky notes said it all. So much of how we feel about math comes from how we were taught! What did you think about math as a student? How can you help your student shift from similar mindset?

Side by side content coaching is one of my favorite things I get to do! Sitting with a teacher, thinking through their students together, and making those instructional decisions as a team. It's the good stuff 🙂

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Virtual sessions aren't always my jam. I love seeing teachers in person and strive to give them a meaningful experience. But this week my session for the Regional Education Consortium through Rappahannock Community College felt right! The teacher engagement was incredible! Thanks for being there.

Jennifer Lempp @jennifer-lempp.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Reminiscing on spending the day with teachers at Weems Elementary diving deep into small-group instruction and learning stations. There is nothing better than watching teachers experience these strategies from the learner's perspective!

What did these Manassas City teachers do on their first day of summer break?!?! YEP - professional learning in creating a student-centered math environment for their students next year! They were the best audience and I could not be more impressed by their dedication!

What a great way to end the 2025-2026 SY w/ MCPS. We reflected on the wins from this year, considered goals for next school year, and planned for the PD that these instructional leaders will facilitate. This group was one of the highlights of the year! Thank you for your partnership and your trust!

Small groups, learning stations, real discourse – all of it built for grades 6–12. If you've been waiting for the right time, summer is it! I know you’re interested, aren’t you? shorturl.at/KfQo1

One more problem rarely makes the light bulb go off for everyone. I got to dig into this with teachers at Baldwin Intermediate recently - small-group instruction is where you stop hoping and actually find out what students need!

Your students are doing math this summer. Not worksheet math but real life math that actually matters. Splitting food, counting days, budgeting at the store. They're already reasoning, you’re here to connect it for them! You can find tools for this in my book 📖 linktr.ee/jennifer.lempp
