"Growth comes from challenging oneself to get out of their comfort zone and try." When it comes to math, one of the best ways to challenge students with concepts that dig deeper into and go beyond their school curriculum is math competitions. In today's interview, I sit down with Ingrid Moats, owner of Tampa Bay Test Prep, to learn all about the fascinating world of math competitions. Through this episode, Ingrid answers my many questions and draws attention to the role of math competitions in shaping a student's confidence in and love of math.  Allison and Ingrid discuss:  Growing up in a math environment [1.29] Levelling up math skills with Mathletics - Math Competitions [3.12] Math Competitions - Math Kangaroo, Math Olympiad, AMC8, Math Counts [5.08]  Benefits of participating in math competitions [7.09]  Creating opportunities for participating in math competitions at your school [8.45] Learning from each other [16.02] Quotes I really loved detective stories and mystery stories, and so I was like if I could put clue 1 and clue 2 together maybe I could get something I have never seen before… I was the detective.  Math competitions give a little bit of exposure to see a variety of math they didn't get to see before.  Light up the math brain and showcase see what they can do. Students need to know that they can struggle and succeed.

How can we help our students recover from pandemic learning loss in mathematics? As we look ahead, to our students' long-term ability to succeed in math and STEM, our task ahead as teachers is both complex and of far-reaching importance. This is why today I invited Elly Blanco- Rowe, a senior educational consultant for Teaching Matters, to share with us tips to help our students overcome math learning loss. As an experienced teacher with over 20 years of coaching and school leadership, Elly advocates for equitable, culturally responsive mathematics instruction for all children. She holds a Masters in Teaching from Pace University, an MBA from Ba-Ruk College and a Masters in School Building Leadership from Mercy College. She is also currently a doctoral student at Fordham University in Educational Leadership, Administration and Policy. Elly and I chat about:  Improving teacher effectiveness for student success[3.48] 3 practices for teachers Slowing down and going deeper while at a grade level [7.50] Leveraging technology to teach students [8.26] Simplifying learning by making the context relevant to the content [9.10]  Tiktok as a means of instructing students [11.43] How teachers can go deeper into specific topics [14.00] Quotes Simplify learning by making context relevant to the content.

"Every moment of practice coaches assess their athletes. They're not grading their athletes, but they're looking at what their athletes are doing." Today's interview is with Tom Schimmer, author of the bestselling book, Grading from the Inside Out, and an expert in assessment, grading, RTI, and educational leadership.  Through this episode, Tom draws attention to ways assessment can boost our student's confidence and love for math, including how to assess math the way coaches assess their athletes.  Allison and Tom discuss:  How Tom's teachers played vital roles in nurturing his love for math. [1.56] What good assessment practices look like [7.00] How to make room for learning from mistakes in a math class [9.14] Why and how to avoid redundancy in math tests [15.44] Assessment planning [20.29] Tom's books on instruction and assessment [22.57] Quality over counting: Situations where equal marks do not equate to equal understanding [24.34] Quotes Find a way to use evidence (outcomes of assessment) to advance learning as opposed to just judge learning. ‘What's the score during warmup?' ‘The score is 00. The game hasn't started.'  ‘Okay. Why did you sweat in practice? Why didn't you die for a loose ball? Why didn't you do all of that? You clearly didn't get anything? Because it's to start the game, the game is 00.  ‘Well, it prepared me to play better, right?  Be prepared to demonstrate math proficiency without practicing math proficiency, even though you're not harvesting anything, you're not gaining anything, you're looking at this idea that this is going to improve my math skill.  Percentage system is not all it's cracked up to be when it comes to grading. Every moment of practice the coaches assess their athletes, they're not grading their athletes, but they're looking at what their athletes are doing. So if we taught like we coached in the sense that we do very little quantification. We would have an assessment system or an assessment experience for our students that would be most beneficial to them reaching proficiency with the learning goals.

How do you inspire kids to love math, and do you approach things differently when working with students who have learning disorders? The truth is, a lot of kids find math challenging and that challenge may stop them in their tracks. So how can we as parents, teachers, and caregivers help them persist? This is the perfect topic for today's guest, Allison Dillard.   Allison is the host of The Allison Loves Math Podcast, a podcast celebrating leaders, legends, and trailblazers who are empowering the world to love math. She is also the author of The Love Math Journal, a tool to help young students cultivate gratitude, growth mindset, and a love of math. Crush Math Now is another of her publications designed for students who struggle with the subject.   Math can make students, children and adults alike feel anxious, stressed, and worried, especially if a learning difference is also in the picture. Listen to this conversation to find out how Allison helps students fall in love with the challenges of math and how you can guide children, too.   Show Notes: [2:36] - Allison loves math so much that in her down time, she hosts a math podcast.

[5:00] - If you believe you can do something, you figure out a way to make it happen. [6:09] - Allison teaches at a community college teaching remedial classes where students have been telling themselves for a decade that they cannot learn math. [7:13] - A huge part of the equation comes from parents who tell them that it's okay to “be bad at math.” Allison explains that stopping the negative conversation is key. [8:37] - Allison Loves Math Podcast combines parenting and math talk for teachers to help support students and families. [9:57] - We can't always control what happens in a classroom regarding math talk and negativity, but parents can control how they converse at home. [10:40] - Allson created The Love Math Journal that connects learning challenges with learning math in a positive way to promote growth mindset and reflection. [11:41] - When we get something wrong, we reflect on how we went about it. Children don't inherently know how to do that and need to be taught persistence. [12:52] - Comparing math to sports is a great way to make things fun and relatable. [14:07] - Allison gives examples of how to help students practice for testing. [15:15] - When Allison works with students with learning disabilities, she focuses on experimentation in solving problems. [16:57] - If the first strategy doesn't work for a student, changing it up over and over again until they find what works for them is best. [17:53] - Allison began working with students as a tutor in high school and college. She shares the impact of that experience. [20:00] - Students who receive accommodations, especially during testing, often think that if accommodations can't “fix” the problem, it is unsolvable.

If you're like me, you've uttered the title of this episode many times in your life. Math is just one of those subjects you either really love or you really hate. On this week's episode, I talk with Allison Dillard who happens to be on the "really love" side of the spectrum.

Have you ever thought you'll never be able to help your kid succeed in math because you're just “not a math person”? Or maybe you suspect your kid is experiencing math anxiety and don't really know what to do about it. Learn the truth about what a “math person” really is in my conversation with Allison Dillard, founder of Raise a Math Person and host of the new Allison Loves Math podcast. Not only am I talking to Allison about what we can do to help our kids excel in math, but we're also talking about how she made the quick decision to leave the career she loved in favor of the unknown of business ownership, due to the circumstances her family faced due to COVID.   About the Guest: Allison Dillard is the founder of Raise a Math Person, a membership that helps parents to set their kids up for long-term success in math, STEM, school and life. She is also the author of Crush Math Now, an adjunct math professor at Irvine Valley College, the host of the Allison Loves Math podcast and a mom of three rambunctious elementary school kids.   Get Allison's free gift, The 7 Secrets that Parents of Successful Math Students Know or learn more about Allison's work at www.allisonlovesmath.com or on Facebook.   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business. Through her time as a commercial banker, consultant and mentor to budding entrepreneurs, she helped clients create solid business and financial strategies to help propel their business to success. While working with aspiring female entrepreneurs, Janice noticed that the same four themes kept repeating: Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life. Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn't fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. Mothers didn't want money to drive their family decisions. From these themes The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.   Visit the Money, Career, & Motherhood website, Facebook page, Facebook group, or on Instagram.   Thanks for listening!
