Enjoying Years of Math Conversations: The More Math for More People Podcast
We have been doing the More Math for More People podcast now for four years. We were recently asked ‘what have we learned?’ over our time on the podcast. I can say that I have learned a lot from the production of this podcast, our listeners, and our guests.

An Invisible Scaffold Supporting All People: How Technology Should Work in the Math Classroom
CPM is about more math, but it is also about more people. Since 2008, when I took a summer job through a connection in my CPM precalculus class, I have been surrounded by people passionate about student-centered math classrooms. Five years later, I was working full time at CPM. In the years since, I have worked with many math teachers, and I will say that their passion for education and math is incredible.

The Statue of Liberty Meets the Three Reads Strategy: Constructing a Clear Path Through Mathematics Word Problems
Reading in mathematics differs from other disciplines because the main idea is typically posed as a question or problem to solve at the end of the text rather than being introduced as a topic sentence near the beginning. The Three Reads routine, introduced in Routines for Reasoning (Kelemanik et al., 2016), provides a framework to help students comprehend word problems by emphasizing understanding before solving. This approach guides students through three distinct phases with a different purpose for reading in each stage: reading for context, identifying the question, and extracting relevant information.

Language Objectives Just Appeared in My Math Textbook. Now What?
While content objectives explain what students will learn in a lesson, language objectives clarify how they will reach that goal. They create a language-rich environment to help all learners acquire and use language to communicate mathematical concepts and other ideas.
