Deep math thinking can only be accomplished if we get rid of slide decks teachers are forced to use to teach math. Rich math tasks take time. Students deserve no less.

Please read the article. Children should not be discouraged from using their "God-given" manipulatives as I have called them for 55 years! Finally, this is in print.

RUSMP's amazing Robin Ward has been sparking curiosity & creativity in students & educators by blending art/math decades. This article supports her proven approach to bring EVERYONE into the Math World through the arts!

Here is an article to read & share with colleagues & administrators. Class observations should be respectful and with a curious and non-judgmental eye, and the observer should stay for the entire period and not just "walk through."

I wrote an article "How Do Students Learn How To Learn?" that appeared in the Village & Southwest News (Nov 4, 2025).

“Ask once, and maybe be a fool once, but if you never ask, you will be a fool the rest of your life…” So proud of our very own, Michael Antonio from @BlansonCTEHS for being a panelist at this morning’s RUSMP Fall Conf @RiceUSMP @AldineISD @STARS_902 @DrFavy @DrLindseyWise

“How do students learn how to learn?” This question guided discussions at RUSMP's Networking Conference on Oct 25. The event reaffirmed that helping students “learn how to learn” requires curiosity, courage, collaboration, & compassion from both teachers and students.

Today, we celebrate Jan West, a beloved friend, colleague, and Rice alum for all that she has done to make the world a better place for ALL. Congratulations, Jan. As you wisely say: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven!

We were inspired by Richard Tapia's powerful talk yesterday! Richard is a Rice treasure, a brilliant mathematician who was awarded the National Medal of Science, a champion for all, not to mention, he was Joanna's Ph.D. advisor.

If you are in the Rice University area at noon on September 29 and knew Dorothy Caram, a trailblazer, a visionary, and a Rice alumna, please join us for a celebration of her life in the Rice Memorial Chapel.

Not since Stand and Deliver (1988) has there been such a powerful film on the importance of math! Why do inequities still exist? We must ensure that everyone is welcome at the math table. My daughter Joanna and I ran into brilliant calculus teacher Cedric French.

Every person regardless of gender, ethnicity, color, or home Zip code deserves to sit at the math table. We must ensure that all are welcome!

Below is a fine article to read and ponder.
