Library

Sept 2026. Reorganized Library. Changed Resources to "Down the Math Education Rabbit Hole". Drafted Counting to Calculus's Welcome message.

August 2026. Bigtime website revamp has begun. Tell me what you think!

Teaching Math

I don't agree with everything linked below. :-)

• Craig Barton — The OG and still-king of nerding out on math education.
• Chalk and Talk — A podcast about education and math with Prof. Anna Stokke.
• Dan Meyer Blog — Making all learners feel welcome, curious, and engaged.
• Peter Liljedahl — Math Education Professor at Simon Fraser University
• YouCubed — Jo Boaler's math education website. Viva la revolución! (Even if I don't agree with everything she says.)
• Jo Boaler's 4 Boosting Messages — Can you guess which one I partially disagree with?
• Reddit Compilation
• Khan Academy — Create an account, then join the Bravo Math class using code Q4MC2H.
• PatrickJMT — Great videos for procedures, but not as strong on concepts.

Math Facts

• Math Fact Automaticity — Why students must master their math facts and how to help them do it in a fun way.
• Facts on Fire — The best math facts program I've ever used. And it's free!

Learning About Learning

• Daniel Willingham — Education's most important cognitive scientist wrote a book that literally every educator should read called Why Don't Students Like School?.
• The Learning Scientists
• Peak: The Science of Expertise – The world's expert on expertise explains how newbies become elite.
• How We Learn vs. How We Think We Learn
• How Do You Teach Science by Video? — Should you aim for clarity, fluency, and learner confidence? Think again.

The transition from 1-on-1 tutoring to math education revolutionary begins now. These writings will document my journey and philosophy. Expect a mix of poorly imitated Paul Graham's Essays and pompous stream of consciousness. 😂
