The Science of Teaching Math (STM) is a research group that focuses on teachers' acquisitions of knowledge and pedagogical skills and the transfer of these skills in to their practice, with special attention to issues of equity. STM also works to identify
A simple question can expose the way you approach math problems. We made a video about proportional relationships, and how a simple question can evaluate what kind of thinker you are.

Oftentimes weβre taught how to invert and multiply, but a lot of students donβt understand why the invert and multiply operation works. This video showcases why we invert and multiply when dividing fractions.

We are often taught π©π°πΈ to perform fraction operations, but not πΈπ©πΊ they work. This video breaks down key concepts like common denominators and invert and multiply to help teachers explain them clearly and confidently.

When students make mistakes, they are often attributed to social stereotypes. Teachers need to encourage every student to succeed and resist their cognitive biases.

Did you know? Research shows that students have an easier time partitioning rectangles vs. circles. Consider using them in your classroom when introducing fractions!

Sometimes, the same correct answer in math is seen differently based on who the student is, which can lead to unfair treatment. The aim is to make learning fairer so that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed.

Knowing the subject isnβt enough. Great teaching requires Pedagogical Content Knowledge - the skill of knowing what to teach and how to teach it.
