Counting is more than reciting number names. When students understand the big ideas and strategies behind counting, they can make sense of why counting works—not just repeat the sequence. Counting is figure-out-able. 🔢 Link for K-2 book: www.mathisfigureoutable.com/dmrk2 #MathIsFigureOutAble

What can Emmy Noether teach us about persistence, mathematical thinking, and figuring things out—even when the odds aren’t in your favor? Her story is one you won’t want to miss. Read the latest *Figures Who Figured It Out* blog! 👇 www.mathisfigureoutable.com/blog/EmmyNoe... #MathIsFigureOutAble

Once students understand the structure of our number system, they can use that understanding to reason about teen numbers, twenties, thirties, and beyond—not just memorize a sequence of names. Link for K-2 book: www.mathisfigureoutable.com/dmrk2 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

The names we give numbers are language, but the meaning behind the numbers is mathematical. Helping students separate the two gives them space to focus on what the numbers actually represent. Link for K-2 book: www.mathisfigureoutable.com/dmrk2 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

Give students real opportunities to count, use what they counted, and notice when something doesn’t add up.

There's no reason to try and make students figure out the social-knowledge aspects of math. Likewise, there's no reason to teach the logical parts of math as if they were social. www.buzzsprout.com/1062400/epis... #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

A room full of 9-12 math teachers and coaches can be a tough audience. They are good at what they do and they know it. So, to have a group so willing to dive in to improve, not because they are not good enough but because they are committed to excellence, that's a good day. Thanks Washington County!

Pam Harris @pwharris.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

When students solve problems, they can develop multiple counting principles and big ideas together. Our job is to notice what they understand and use that information to guide how we interact with them. Link for K-2 book: www.mathisfigureoutable.com/dmrk2 #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath
