    New blog! My breakdown of what you'll need to run a Family Math Night (for K-5). If you're a teacher, math coach, PTA member or anyone who's taking on this project, I hope this helps! Includes free downloads of my favorite math night activities 😀

    I'm genuinely confused about this. #PrimeClimb, A MATH GAME, has somehow become the 15th most popular board game Amazon sells. Am I crazy? Is this normal? Or is the needle moving? amazon.com/gp/bestsellers…

    Just found out my talk made the @TEDTalks main site! I have no idea when. And the name got changed! Mixed feelings on that part, though presumably they know the audience better than I do. Still, exciting! ted.com/talks/dan_fink…

    Challenge: prove that the blue path and the red path have equal lengths. No spoilers, please! Instead, share thoughts on useful hints to help students with this problem. #hintchat Huge thanks and hat tip to @DavidKButlerUoA for this problem! #iteachmath #mtbos

    Teachers, if you haven't used #unitchats yet, they're a game changing opener. Here's my collection of Unit Chats, including my lesson plan writeup and around 50 images. Invented by @Trianglemancsd. Thx too: @CDawson18, @mathinyourfeet, & @Simon_Gregg dropbox.com/s/2f1sccbad4uf…

    Let's take a moment to appreciate the power of manipulatives for visualization. Imagine the hexagon is our unit. Then the first tower represents "3 and a half." What do the others show? The same quantity, but with different names.

    Would you rather have one quarter of $500, or 500 quarters? #iteachmath #MTBoS

    If timed online multiplication fact practice is stressing your kids out, you should check out the online visual flash cards we made with @MathigonOrg mathigon.org/multiply. No time pressure. Visual connections. Tell your kid's teacher about it.
