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 we’re taught how to invert and multiply, but a lot of students don’t understand why the invert and multiply operation works. This video showcases why we invert and multiply when dividing fractions.

Fractions Don't Have To Be Confusing
Fractions Don't Have To Be Confusing YouTube video by Science of Teaching Math

Fractions can be confusing (even for adults!) This YouTube Short breaks down why we find common denominators in a way that actually makes sense.

Teachers Should Encourage Their Students to Succeed
Teachers Should Encourage Their Students to Succeed YouTube video by Science of Teaching Math

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

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.

Did you know? Research shows that letting students solve problems before teaching the method helps teachers learn how students think, which leads to more effective teaching. Check out the video to learn more!

Why Teachers Need More Than Just Subject Knowledge
Why Teachers Need More Than Just Subject Knowledge YouTube video by Science of Teaching Math

Knowing the subject isn’t enough. Great teaching requires Pedagogical Content Knowledge - the skill of knowing what to teach and how to teach it.

The types of problems used in teaching not only impact student learning but also impact teacher learning from teaching.
