"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. The power that comes from knowing the vertical alignment is so intense. Knowing what is coming up next and how does the learning from this year support next year's learning is really helpful.
