"Children learn most effectively when instruction follows an evidence‑based cycle: grounding facts in conceptual understanding, using brief timed practice to make those facts automatic, then returning to discussion and reflection to deepen that knowledge." journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

“A carefully structured approach pairing brief, timed sessions that strengthen facts in memory with purposeful reasoning & discussion activities that weave those facts in2 an integrated knowledge network gives students the fluency they need 2 succeed.” #iTeachMath Nicole McNeil

Ralph Pantozzi Nicole McNeil It's an excellent paper that walks through the science behind sense-making AND memorizing your math facts. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

1/3 Researchers like Robin S. Codding Brian Poncy Amanda VanDerHeyden have been saying all this for quite some time now. I've got a short, practical & easy to follow episode for how to build automaticity with math facts based on their work. Links below ⬇️ journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

This isn’t really “news” but in 2025 there are policy-makers, education academics, school leaders and classroom teachers who are still responding 🙈+ 🙉 to this kind of evidence.

“Currently most of the 1,100 surveyed programs that prepare elementary school teachers aren’t spending enough time developing their content knowledge in math. Knowing foundational math content inside and out is crucial to effectively being able to teach it, Peske said. Often

Scientists Discover a Better Way For Kids to Learn Math. A great summary of our Association for Psychological Science PSPI paper from Earth.com! The best part is that a math teacher saw it and sent it to my attention! earth.com/news/scientist…

This is so heartbreaking. A genuine loss to the field. Lynn was a brilliant scholar and an incredibly generous colleague and friend. I will miss her so much.

There are many things to learn about Pope Leo XIV, but what caught my attention immediately in addition to his Chicago 🇺🇸 roots: he majored in mathematics 🧮, has learned multiple languages 🧠, and his father was a school administrator 📚!

How should we be teaching arithmetic fluency? #iTeachMath Monitor and ensure that early knowledge of numbers, relations, and operations are forming on the path toward arithmetic fluency.
