New episode. Chris Roberts kept getting blank stares teaching algebra, students couldn't factor 4x minus 28 because they'd never built automatic recall of their multiplication facts. Here's what he built to fix it. #BlueGlassesMath #MathChat #MathematicsEducation

If we believe discomfort signals failure, we'll engineer it away. It shows up as answering too soon. Scaffolding before the struggle. Moving on because the silence got uncomfortable. For us. Not for them. #MathChat #BlueGlassesMath

Let’s say the quiet part out loud: The world our students are entering doesn’t need them to follow step-by-step math procedures by hand. It needs them to: → solve unfamiliar problems → communicate thinking → navigate uncertainty But we’re not spending enough time there. ⬇️
