@MathTherapy @mathyawp Skills vs. Number sense and most times because we are trying to close gaps the focus remains on skills and computation, but we forget to connect "virtue" and number sense to the math 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I really appreciate the conversation you both shared!

@MathTherapy @mathyawp Yes! Thank you so much for listening and sharing!!

@MathTherapy @mathyawp Here in Italy we say: "Parole sante!". A math teacher in high school must not neglect abstract topics, but first thing to do is promote the development of reasoning skills that are distinctive of the human being. Otherwise we are not doing right by our students

@MathTherapy @mathyawp I absolutely love this! Viva Italia 🇮🇹🙌

@MathTherapy @mathyawp Omg! I have to listen. I love him!

@MathTherapy @mathyawp Peer reviewed interventions for these proposed target outcomes yet? Def want to learn more (my “math virtue” is stat. sig. effect size 🤓) Very cool!

@mathyawp @MathTherapy I love the example of 39*4=2000, and the virtue vs. skill distinction. I do think we teach factoring quadratics for reasons beyond the “skill” requirement though.

@ShellyMJones1 @MathTherapy @mathyawp Right?! Such a vibe!🙏

Just saw this AI video of Big Poppa Pump as a baby droppin’ the Steiner Math promo… and yeah, the math STILL checks out. What do you think, freaks?

Math is a skill— like music or sports. Yet somehow, it's treated it differently. We’d never accept anti-practice attitudes in other domains, so why do we tolerate it in math? Here's Alex Kontorovich talking about this in my latest podcast episode. Link to full episode below.

This specific step when factoring by grouping was a core memory of mine in high school math where I just memorized what to do and didn't understand what was happening. Here's how we can make sense of it. What did you memorize in math but didn't understand?

When you think of hormones, what comes to mind? For a lot of people, the term holds negative connotations. On this week’s episode of our podcast Explain It to Me, host Jonquilyn Hill talks to Heather Hirsch, an internist who specializes in menopause, about how hormone replacement therapy is helping women feel like themselves again and why it’s still a challenge to talk about it.

Common Core math was introduced in 2010 to address standards across the U.S. and shift the focus from rote memorization to a deeper, conceptual understanding of mathematics. By 2026, it remains a common standard in many states, aiming to prepare students for college and the modern workforce by fostering critical thinking and number sense rather than just memorizing formulas. There has been much debate on using common core math in schools curriculum. Do you agree with using common core math in schools? Or do you think the old way of doing math was the better way to teach math to children?

I had a fantastic time discussing with the learning legend Justin Skycak from Math Academy about learning math in the modern age. we've talked about his quite impressive self-learning journey (3000h of math in high school) all the way to how he hand curated the initial knowledge graph for math academy to make that process more efficient. great lively 3h discussion here are the chapters: 0:00:00 - intro: 0:02:10 - justin background 0:05:45 - 3000h math self study in high school 0:11:45 - what a day looked like for that 3000h stretch 0:16:10 - meta-learning vs pure math learning 0:21:50 - when did you get into cognitive neuro? 0:29:55 - how did the fundamental math helped in your research projects 0:43:10 - what does the math academy learning system looks like 0:47:34 - how did you guys build the 2000 topic knowledge graph 1:01:15 - would LLM be useful as an interface to that knowledge graph for the students? 1:10:46 - how does the FIRe spaced repetition algorithm works? 1:17:34 - does the same knowledge graph structure would work for physics? or other topic?: 1:34:05 - how do you understand the subject vs the curiculum 1:35:50 - is there a connection between studying math and learning a sport? 1:42:00 - do you think in math doing and teaching requires different skills? 1:56:25 - could you get understanding without automaticy? 2:05:35 - do you see any upside of confusion in learning? 2:14:11 - learning math as an adult? 2:19:20 - how to fill the motivation gap after learning the fundamental? 2:24:10 - how should teaching math for kids and adults balance fundamentals and creativity? 2:33:55 - is it ever too late to learn math seriously? 2:46:00 - mastery learning vs ultra learning 2:51:30 - top-down vs bottom-up 2:53:40 - mastery learning for domain without a structured hierarchical structure? 2:56:30 - neurodivergence / adhd for structured math learning? 3:06:20 - amateur mathematician augmented with technology will be able to contribute to research? 3:14:37 - what are you most excited about right now in term of learning enjoy!

American mother says her daughter is 1 of only 4 children in her entire math class that speaks English “She doesn't get to learn math because there's 20 plus other kids who don't know English and the teacher has to accommodate them” “Why am I paying property taxes? Why am I paying income tax? Why am I paying taxes for anything for my children to have a the right to a free and public education? — This this is what they get. You don't get to learn math because you know English, so you just don't get to learn math.”

Know how long every operation takes on a computer. Once you do, identifying good vs bad vs acceptable performance becomes way easier. It all boils down to knowing your napkin math.

THIS DUDE MADE ART WITH MATH—LIKE, ACTUAL MATH Some guy at UCL just went viral for drawing pictures using nothing but equations. Yeah, math made this. Not Photoshop or AI. He figured out how to turn boring numbers into colorful, pixel-perfect images by plotting shapes and telling each pixel what color to be. It’s like if a calculator got into art school and absolutely slayed. So next time you say “When will I ever use this?”—apparently, when you’re making math Mona Lisas.
