Anyone involved in the placement of students in the math pipeline should read the following about Algebra I placement. edresearchforaction.org/research-brief…

Interesting article for those interested in Algebra I student success with a list of predecessor skills. edweek.org/teaching-learn… However, facility with integers is paramount to all!

edutopia.org/article/buildi… A good read.... Suggestion: Extend the number line to the left of zero and listen to what second-grade students ask.

This is the week of Algebra I articles.... gatekeeper or filter? Those involved in placing students in Algebra I should be reading and reflecting about this extremely important responsibility. the74million.org/article/untang…

Kudos to AMS for supporting the 2025 Research Symposium of AWM. The US can't afford to defund math research. It is vital to the health of our nation and is the foundation for the other sciences. Please speak up for math!!! We need bold action in these turbulent times. Rice Natural Sciences

The Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching is taking place July 10-12 in San Antonio Texas.  To register go to camtonline.org Don't miss this great professional development opportunity!

Great work everyone. Your energy ensured success. Kudos to all. Rice Natural Sciences Rice Engineering and Computing Robin Ward

Robin's boundless energy and love for others continues to make the world a more beautiful place.

Amen! Teaching is an art and a science. Not everyone can do this successfully. Inspiring students to love to learn takes a credentialed teacher. A warm body without this cannot be called a teacher. Please respect our teachers as the professionals who they are and let them teach.

A must-read for those who care about math education (fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…). Credentials to teach math are crucial just like licensure is for doctors. Mentoring by highly-qualified math teachers then keeps new teachers in the profession. RUSMP Rice Natural Sciences Rice Engineering and Computing
