Love flows both ways.

Thank you, @HawksMathamagic, @SpringISD and @RobersonSpring, in a magical trip alongside @carnegielearn.

The energy and positivity from both your students and faculty was palpable. I'm still on clouds from our day together. Thank you.

What are these middle school students all fired up about? 🔥

Math! 🤯

Still feeling the math joy magic after taking MATHstream off-screen and into @RobersonSpring! ✨

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

Inspired learning starts with the right conditions.

In this clip from Rediscovering Childhood, we talk about helping students feel free to explore, experiment, & discover ideas.

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

[Robert Ahdoot @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

Superintendent Jermaine Fleming's response to Robert Ahdoot's Keynote on the importance of connecting with students. #Education #StudentSuccess

[Robert Ahdoot @yaymath]

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

[Robert Ahdoot @yaymath]

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

[Robert Ahdoot @yaymath]

I'm a sucker for spontaneous math jokes. Especially when students make them. Engaged math jokes = ideal math learning vibe.

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.

[Celia Jimenez, M. Ed @segarrac]

We were inspired by keynote speaker @yaymath at the @BrowardMath Alg1 Summit, who reminded us that great teaching starts with connection. When we truly see, hear, and value our students, real learning begins. ❤️ @DrFlem71 @evans_ame @gbarmoha @BCPSNorthRegion
#RelationshipsMatter

[Robert Ahdoot @yaymath]

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

[Robert Ahdoot @yaymath]

If we can laugh together, we can learn together. #yaymath

[Robert Ahdoot @yaymath]

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.

[Robert Ahdoot @yaymath]

Cutting-edge math learning removes step-by-step instructions.
Strong pattern recognition ≠ true understanding.
Students need to foster interconnected thoughts, to build a math-thinking brain.
