Textbook companies rule education in much the same way pharmaceutical companies control our health. For profit and with a laundry list of negative side effects.

Getting older with one of the best married men on planet earth is a privilege 💖 @sharemath

[The married man @marriedmn]

The older men get, the less they care about surface-level things.

Beauty attracts attention.
But peace, loyalty, emotional maturity, kindness, respect, consistency, and support are the qualities that make a woman unforgettable in marriage.
Because attraction may start a relationship.

But character is what sustains it for decades.

@sharemath These pillars should be how we measure the curriculum used by all teachers. #homeschool #charterschool #publicschool

@sharemath There are sets of books now in Ireland, India, Australia, Canada, and most recently, Portugal! #math Go, team!

@phlndrws @Super70sSports I was too busy yelling "Stop! Someone's gonna get killed!" to take a photo, but this proves you weren't the only crazy kid! #shenanigans

@phlndrws Using it screams "I wrote this with AI", even when I didn't. It's disappointing.

@mckennagene @sharemath 😂 Current math trends are best described with sarcasm, lest we all weep at the reality of the situation.

@phlndrws That's absolutely phenomenal!

There’s something wrong with this letter from one of my former 7th grade students:

“I’m going to be honest, I was really bad at math up until this year. I mean, I didn’t even understand multiplication in fifth grade. That’s saying a lot, considering this year I’m doing insane things like graphing, finding medians, and even scientific notations. I’ll go home and try to teach my dad some things that I’ll find simple, like box plots. He won’t understand any of it then I’ll sit there all confused because of how easy I think it is. You’ve taught me so much and I’m so appreciative of that.”

What’s wrong with it?

I didn’t teach her at all that year, not even once. She completely taught herself, day after day, with pencil and paper, and not a screen in sight.

That was the year I first put my You Teach You math method to the test in the classroom, and she used the “examples for everything,” the related practice problems, and the fully-completed answer key on the back of each page to master even the trickiest concepts in the 7th grade curriculum, and to pull herself up from “Partially Proficient” at the beginning of the year to “Advanced Proficient” and into Algebra I the next. (I was available to her at all times of course—in the role of what I call “the sage at the side”—but she only asked for help once, and figured out her own mistake before I managed to get to the end of my explanation.)

People here on eduTwitter tend to be skeptical of the idea of students teaching themselves math—and they're right to be. I wasn’t sure the materials could do it without me either! But that year, student after student after student—132 in all—showed me otherwise.

And why shouldn’t they be able to? Kids learn to speak by hearing example after example and trying out their theories with feedback from the environment.

Math is no different. The brain doesn't need to be told the rules before it can learn them—it needs examples clear enough to see the pattern, and feedback immediate enough to correct the theory.

The full k-8 series I developed since then gives students both: a visual example for every single concept and a feedback loop that closes in seconds, not days.

That's not a new idea. It's how human beings learn everything.

And now it's how anyone can learn math.

@anenglishteachr Thank you! 🤞🏻

Joy as a result of learning made me think of your success stories @anenglishteachr!

[Steve Hare @sharemath]

This tweet means a lot to me personally and I wasn't going to quote it publicly at first, but it gets at something that needs to be discussed more in math education: the need for children to track down their own mistakes and learn from them without fear of embarrassment.

I have a desk drawer full of letters from students and former students expressing gratitude for being able to do exactly that with the “See it, Do it, Check it” instant feedback of YouTeachYou.

“Joyful” describes them perfectly.

@anenglishteachr We haven't been on for awhile, Steve's been spending the last few months finishing You Teach You K-8! But we're here now; I'll watch for your posts! #joy
