I don't often talk about living in homeless shelters or a group home because they're not my favorite memories to relive. However I decided to present about it because knowing stories helps educators better empathize.

Before solving this problem, think like a teacher.
What errors do you expect students to make?
Which misconceptions do you think this task is most likely to uncover?

Have you ever heard an idea that you'd never considered, but right after you heard it, you immediately recognized it's brilliance? The word for that is "postdictable". Read all about it as well as postdictable ideas in education:

Professional development wasn't working great before the pandemic. We need more differentiation, flexibility, affordability, and access time. So here's my take on what we need to do differently now and how we can do it.

How should we measure the success of a math lesson?
By how many students got the correct answer?
Or by how much students' thinking grew during the lesson?
I don't think those are always the same thing.
What do you think?

If you run educator events where people get paid to speak (or you get paid to speak at events like this), this blog post's for you. Since Feb 2021, I've asked orgs that hire me to pay all keynote/featured speakers equally. Here are five reactions.

Two design choices make this problem interesting.
The radius isn't squared.
And each digit can be used at most two times.
Why do you think that second constraint is there?

Math worksheets rarely give us the results we truly want. There's a better way and I recorded a webinar with elementary and secondary versions that you can watch to learn more.

One of the most interesting parts of this problem comes before you place a single digit.
Should improper fractions be allowed in the mixed numbers?
That assumption changes what's possible.
Then the challenge becomes proving your solution has the smallest possible sum.
