What are these middle school students all fired up about? π₯
Math! π€―
Still feeling the math joy magic after taking MATHstream off-screen and into @RobersonSpring! β¨
Thank you for having us and @yaymath, @SpringISD, and thanks for sharing your experience, @HawksMathamagic!
Introducing Robert Ahdoot's Yay Math Summer Learning Program! Individually tailored, personal, with Yay Math energy. Let's prepare for the math that's coming in the fall, and gain confidence in the process.
I often say to my students, "I love when students use the word 'just'." Fellow educators, try saying that to your students. Then observe the look on their faces. They feel seen and attuned with. #TeachingTips#EduSpark#yaymath
Ever wondered how a 3D shape unfolds into a 2D net? This animation visualizes the transformation, making it easy to see how surfaces connect. Perfect for understanding how to calculate surface area! #Geometry#3DShapes#MathTips
Great teaching starts with connection.

How should teachers/parents react when a kid says they hate school? My daughter lives this. Here's how we respond, from my convo with Mireia Lopez Montez. #SchoolLife#Parenting#yaymath
Advocacy means showing students, explicitly and implicitly, that we have their best interests at heart. A clip from my conversation with Mireia Lopez on "Rediscovering Childhood." #StudentAdvocacy#Education#yaymath
10-year throwback to Yay Math's StatsCenter! With the Super Bowl on Sunday, revisit this parody of SportsCenter where I do funny impressions of sports celebs, including my take on the iconic John Madden. #YayMath#Statistics
Vulnerability mustn't be dramatic. Sometimes it's as simple as eye contact and a genuine greeting. Suspend everything else for a moment. Show you're present. #Leadership#Connection
Math confidence gone? Seneca thought she was stuck being bad at math for life. Then Robert came along and changed everything. Grades went up, curiosity returned, and math became joyful again. #yaymath#SuccessStory
I love traveling to Florida to speak, because the teachers truly care, and we so align on such important values. Thank you for having me, @browardschools.
People often praise teachers which is great. But we rarely discuss the negative impact of those who don't like the work any more. #TeacherImpact#Education
Instead of apologizing for mistakes, students should focus on "figuring it out." Mistakes are a chance to experiment and be vulnerable, and learning is never something to apologize for. #math#learning
In this interview clip, I share my personal experience from 8th grade, where my teachers' belief and my father's support transformed my life. It's how I learned the importance of a student's emotional state while learning. #education#learning
Shabbaton campfire. All-school talent show. Me on the mic, paying homage to our school's legendary dance team.
My favorite part is def cracking up Dr. Powell front row, our Head of School. You know what it is.
Cutting-edge math learning removes step-by-step instructions.
Strong pattern recognition β true understanding.
Students need to foster interconnected thoughts, to build a math-thinking brain.
