Proud parents entering the competition arena to cheer their children before final champions are announced. Warmed my heart to see their faces, taking pictures and beaming with joy. @NYSEDNews@FirstInMath

What a treat to see bright young minds compete collaboratively as teams at the 2026 New York Statewide Mathematics Tournament. Hosted by The New York State Education Department in Albany. @FirstInMath@NysedNews
The stage is set for the 2026 New York Statewide Mathematics Tournament at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany. Soon this room will be buzzing with excitement as bright going minds compete collaboratively in teams of three in grades 1 to 8.

Math is soooo boring ..... until you start doing some amazing math challenges. Check out our 2nd graders who volunteered to participate in our @24game enrichment challenge. Kids were literally on the table working to show their fact fluency! Way to go kids! #CWHawks
@BasedRedWolf As a HS math teacher, I have my students practice their addition/multiplication facts each week.
Knowing those facts are crucial to understanding math lessons.
And those who don’t have them memorized struggle.
I was too engaged and didn't take many pictures! @Mrs_Kling_Tech and I had TWO fantastic 3 hour @24game@FirstInMath workshops today with the wonderful staff in Danville, VA today! Thank you so much for having us!
One of the features of @FirstInMath that I have been exploring with my Ss. Get It, and Got It tend to be my go to for emerging learners and Use It, Own It for my adv leaners. @AACountySchools#GrowBelongSucceed
@tylerkingkade@NBCNews I heard groans from Ss when they had to log on to iReady and found no correlation to a rise in student achievement. @FirstInMath was a superior product that actually raised math scores for my Ss. They loved it, I had some of the highest assessment scores because of FIM.
Three things that seem to be contributing to poor math achievement:
1. Multiple strategies for novice learners.
Recommendation: Choose an efficient strategy that generalizes easily to (e.g.) larger numbers, teach it well, give lots of practice on it.
2. Too much focus on manipulatives & pictures.
Recommendation: Fluency with abstract symbols sets kids up for later success. Move quickly to the abstract - that's where the majority of practice should be.
3. Not enough practice.
Recommendation: Give lots of practice and then give more. It's how we get good at math.
@24game Third Grade Regionals @AACountySchools 32 school-wide winners attend competition tonight to see who will bring home hardware in computational mathematics game: 1st &4th @MarleyESAACPS 2nd @LinthicumES 3rd @LakeShoreAACPS Excellent work club/lead teachers + ALL students!
