American solar manufacturing is getting a reboot. Dean Solon, founder of Create Energy and formerly of Shoals Technologies, sold 1 GW of product in Q1 of this year alone. In this episode, he walks Tim Montague through his vertically integrated factory in Portland, Tennessee, and names exactly why utility-scale solar equipment is quietly failing at scale. American solar manufacturing has a reliability problem, and the utilities and independent power producers who own these fields for 30 to 50 years are the ones absorbing the cost. Dean Solon, founder of Create Energy and the man who built and took Shoals Technologies public on the NASDAQ in 2021, has spent three years building a vertically integrated solar manufacturing operation in Portland, Tennessee, to address this directly. Create sold 1 gigawatt of product in Q1 of this year, with Q2 expected to double that output. Host Tim Montague tours the Create Energy factory floor and draws out exactly what full-stack, American-made solar hardware looks like in practice. Here is what you will learn from this conversation:You'll hear Dean Solon explain why module warranties are misleading and why EPC economics push toward equipment designed to last only past the two-year mark, leaving utilities and IPPs exposed for the decades of ownership ahead.Find out how Create Energy's OnTrack system uses one common control board across trackers, E-boss units, weather stations, and inverters, giving asset owners a single view of every row in a solar field with no separate pony panel required.Learn why Create offers a 10-year bumper-to-bumper warranty on its full product stack, and what Solon means when he says he eliminated failure modes rather than reduced them.Understand how automated, electric vegetation control cuts solar O&M costs in half, and why long-term asset owners should treat this as a budget line item, not a feature.For any asset owner weighing supply chain decisions in 2025, this conversation is a direct look at what the American manufacturing alternative looks like on the ground. Connect with Dean Solon and Create LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dean-solon-b8876649/Website: https://www.create.energy/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Kristin Frang, Understanding the Roots of Fluency with Addition & Subtraction ROUNDING UP: SEASON 4 | EPISODE 16 Research suggests that supporting students' fluency with addition and subtraction hinges on understanding how children's mathematical thinking develops. So what are the concepts and ideas that play a part in fluency with combinations to 10, 20, and beyond?  Today, we'll explore this question with Kristin Frang, director of instructional programs at Integrow Numeracy Solutions.  BIOGRAPHY Kristin Frang is the director of instructional programs for Integrow Numeracy Solutions. She designs resources and services that support states, districts, schools, and individuals in transforming numeracy education. RESOURCES "Understanding Units Coordination" Season 4, Episode 11 of the Rounding Up podcast Integrow Numeracy Solutions website blog  email address On Track to Numeracy book by Lucinda "Petey" MacCarty, Kurt Kinsey, David Ellemor-Collins, and Robert J. Wright TRANSCRIPT Mike Wallus: Welcome to the podcast, Kristin. It is so great to be talking with you today.  Kristin Frang: It's great to be here. I feel so honored to be on this podcast.  Mike: Before we dive into a conversation about addition and subtraction, I'd like to do a bit of grounding. So you're currently the director of instructional programs for Integrow Numeracy Solutions. I wonder if briefly you could tell the listeners: What is Integrow Numeracy Solutions, and what's its mission?  Kristin: Yeah. Integrow Numeracy Solutions' mission is to transform numeracy education by connecting research with practice and empowering educators to advance student mathematical thinking and success. But I really want to bring that mission to life through a story, just a quick story, if I can.  Prior to my role with Integrow, I was a K–12 mathematics consultant. And one of the things that I did was, when the Common Core [State Standards] were released, I worked with teachers to transition to the then-new standards. We studied many documents together, including progression documents that were included in the standards, and teachers were honestly fascinated by this idea of a progression and that they were embedded into the standard. But I remember an instance where we had been studying these progressions and a teacher came up and said to me, "I know where my students are at; I can see them in these progressions. But how do I get them to the next stage?"  And I didn't have an answer (laughs) at that point. I was a former middle school and high school teacher. I was working with elementary teachers. I was studying, just like them, these progression documents, and I could only categorize the reasoning that was in front of us. And so that next step to say, "Oh, this is what I would do and bring into action in the classroom," I didn't have an answer for. And so that's really where I was introduced to Integrow—formerly [the] US Math Recovery Council, but now Integrow Numeracy Solutions. And at the heart of our mission to empower educators is to bring research to the classroom in accessible and practical ways that advance student reasoning. We do this in professional learning, we do it in supplemental resources, and we also hire and train educators to deliver high-dosage tutoring for students to accelerate their learning.  Mike: I want to just linger on something you said, which was—and I really appreciate both the truth of the statement you made and also the vulnerability, which is to say—I think for many teachers, there's this experience of, "I can see my students in these progressions, but I'm not sure what to do when it comes to making moves to shift where they're at or help them move." And I think that's a profound truth for so many teachers. And I think it's really important that folks like you, who are doing this work, acknowledge that that's a place you were in once as well because that's so true for so many of us.  Kristin: Yeah. There's always a new thing where we're watching students, we're thinking about the next steps. And so often it boils down to categorizing the things that students are doing now, but not often figuring out: What are the true actions that we take with real children who are in front of us to get them to progress in their own reasoning? We can tell them the next step, but my belief system that is aligned with Integrow Numeracy Solutions is that the most powerful thing is to help students have those experiences and create that understanding themselves. And to do that, it's more complex than just knowing what the next benchmark is for them.  Mike: I think that's a helpful introduction. And I also find it to be a good segue for all the questions that I wanted to explore today. So let me start here: It feels important to acknowledge that supporting students' addition and subtraction fluency actually hinges on understanding how children's mathematical thinking develops. So I wonder if you can talk about some of the concepts and the ideas that play a part in fluency when it comes to combinations of 10, combinations to 20, and even beyond.  Kristin: Yeah. The words that we hear associated with fluency right now are "flexibility," "efficiency," "accuracy." So we've moved on from just speed, which I think is a really positive place for us to be in education. But at the heart of flexibility, efficiency and accuracy is a quantitative understanding of arithmetic. I'm really glad that you had Amy Hackenberg on [the podcast] recently who discussed this concept of units coordination because throughout what we'll talk about, you'll see units coordination come out, but she's definitely the expert to explain it. Just a nod. Just listen to that episode [Season 4, Episode 11]. It was amazing.  Thinking, though, specifically about fluency—fluency isn't just knowing all of these combinations. In the early stages of counting, students view a number simply as a count or result of a count of single items, and there's this critical shift in developing a unit as a fundamental tool of measurement. And that's the act of unitizing where a student conceives of a collection of items as one unit that's simultaneously made of smaller units.  It is a common progression that once a student counts on, that then we would shift to building strategies to solve addition and subtraction within 20, and then of course with 100, and beyond, and then in other domains. But this is all happening in first and second grade for that addition and subtraction to 20 fluency. So attending to this numerical composite—understanding that when a child says "7" and sees that that represents counting from 1 to 7 without having to count—is a really big cognitive shift in their mathematical understanding and can be undermined with, "Oh, now that they're counting on, we're going to tell them these strategies." And so we really do need to have some intentional instructional strategies to make sure that we're developing that first, that numerical composite, before we try to develop all these strategies for addition and subtraction to 20. Because that is the basis for children to move from a counting-based strategy to compose units.  So when they can use a quantity like, "Oh, 8 plus 5, I can break apart this 5 into smaller parts and I can give some of those parts to the 8." So children at that point have to simultaneously hold 5 as a single unit while recognizing the 2 and the 3 make up the 5, but they can be moved to the 8 as well. That's really sophisticated.  Mike: So I want to mark that because I think the notion that this is really sophisticated is important for folks to understand because I'll be vulnerable and honest: I didn't recognize the complexity of what children were grappling with when I started teaching, particularly as a person who was teaching kindergarten and first grade. I really saw my job as helping to build a set of rote procedures like counting and number sequence and memorizing combinations and the outcome of being able to count and the outcome of being able to quickly recall those. I think that's not in question, but understanding the mechanics and the evolution of kids' thinking that's going on, that's a big deal. This whole notion that you have a unit and the unit is composed of smaller units. And one of the things that you said that feels like a really big deal that could be lost is the idea that shifting from a counting-based strategy to a strategy that depends on this notion of units that have smaller units inside and that are also still a unit—that's such a big deal. In order to go from counting everything to counting on to being able to look at a number like 8 and say that it has a 5 and a 3 inside of it—all of that is connected to this notion of units inside of units. And I'm so glad you mentioned that.  Kristin: Yeah. The mental actions that students are doing, making those visible, when we see children do it developmentally, we just assume it's easy. But the shifts that they're making in their understanding of units to move from that pre-numerical stage of "Everything is a 1 and I have to repeat it" to "Now this word can stand in for the count" to "Now I can embed units inside of other units." There's so much happening, and they're so young at that age; we have to remember that too.  Mike: So let's talk about some other important components of developing fluency. What else is an important primer for how people are thinking about this?  Kristin: Yeah. Another important component is supporting students in developing the cognitive structures that allow students to anchor their understanding and quantitative meaning and develop that sophisticated reasoning. Many researchers, many authors have written in different ways and different names about these structures. So like a "mental structure," "mental residue," "mental tools," "patterns of thought." To name a few people, Zaretta Hammond, Betty [K.] Garner, Karen [S.] Karp are some people I've read and appreciate their thinking around that.  So it's more than just allowing students to use manipulatives to solve problems. There's an intentionality in how we use tools and an explicit process used by educators to bring their mathematical world to life. So first, identifying key settings that emphasize mathematical structures. So the tool in front of them has a big role to play in the "math"—I put that in quotations—in the "math" that they see. 10-frames that highlight a quantity of 10, but also can show other quantities within 10, such as, like, a five or a double. It has an added layer of boxes that contain a number. Some contain a number or a counter and others are empty. So there's ways that kids are coming to understand quantity with the structure.  Similarly, a bead rack can show a five structure, a double structure, depending on your representation. They can help kids think about exchanges and really kind of that movement of quantity in a real physical way. Using linking cubes, do you use them all in one color? Are you strategic about the color that you use to bring out mathematical structures for them?  So once we think about the key setting and the structure that we're trying to help kids reason about, we want to pose intentional questions that orient students to those structures. So how do they see that 5 inside? How are we going to bring that out? It's obvious to us, but are they seeing that or are they seeing something different in the tool? Are they reasoning about something different? And so the intentionality behind how we question students during those activities also aids to building their cognitive structures. So it's not the tool itself that is the 8. It's that the child is seeing the 8 and they're seeing the 5 and the 3 in some empty boxes.  And finally, I think the step that we miss a lot, especially in problem-based instruction or any kind of inquiry-based instruction, is this explicit time where we connect the symbols in formal mathematics directly to represent the child's thinking and the tool that they've been playing around with. So it's not just about knowing I can get an answer on the 10-frame, but it's [that] I'm abstracting that series of actions, and I'm then connecting it to this quantity that I've written in a symbol. And are there connections between those things? And if those things aren't happening—kids are doing all those parts and pieces, but really developing the cognitive structure that they can then themselves use and take with them, I think that's what's so powerful when we talk about fluency is they can take a cognitive structure with them and fill in the mathematics in the future [when] maybe they don't have an educator in front of them asking those questions. But if they've been through those processes, then they have that structure to fill in.  Mike: There's a lot that you just said that I think is important and we could probably linger on a lot of it. But on the front end of this conversation, you said it's one thing to be able to see students in a progression, and it's another thing to think about, "What's my role or what are the tools that I have to help them shift?" What I heard in that last part, particularly is this notion of almost like a translation between the physical materials kids are engaging with and the meaning that they're making of that, and then helping them to abstract that in a way where we have symbols that are representing either actions or quantities and the relationships that are happening. That part of the teacher's job and part of the moves that teachers have in their toolbox is this notion of translation—taking what I'm seeing kids doing and how what I'm hearing them say or do to make meaning of it, and then helping them make that abstraction is kind of one of the tools that's really important in a teacher's toolbox when they're thinking about helping kids make moves.  In preparation for our interview, one of the things that stayed with me was you described how your own understanding of the meaning and the importance of fluency had shifted over time. And I'm wondering if you can talk about what you used to think and what is it that you think now about fluency. Could you talk about your own personal journey?  Kristin: For sure. I used to think that knowing facts, just knowing them in a very static way—like I know the answer to 5 plus 3, I keep coming back to that fact—reduces the cognitive load when they were getting into higher grade levels. Well, they don't need to think about that problem, and they can think about what we're doing in seventh grade math or in algebra.  But what I've come to understand is that the ways that students know their facts—more specifically how they're able to work with the units and the way they conceptualize the units that they are given, how they break them apart, how they put them back together—that's what matters as they go. So not just knowing the answer, but that these things can be taken apart and put back together.  Anderson Norton is a researcher that I really love to listen to. And I listened to him at an Integrow conference once. And he talked about developing mathematics through repeatable mental actions. So this kind of relates back to those cognitive structures. One example of a group of mental actions is this idea of composable, reversible, and associative. So when I think about 8 plus 5, 5 is composed of a 2 and a 3, and I can reverse that to focus on the unit of 2, and then I can associate that quantity with the 8 to make a new unit while keeping intact the unit of 5. That's really complex, but that idea transcends the domains of mathematics. Now, I'm not an expert in units coordination research, so I hope I represented that correctly, but I've certainly experienced students struggling to keep track of different units as they work. So thinking about exponent rules, and they break apart these powers and they're writing them and they're learning all these patterns, but they're struggling to keep track of the units that they're working with. Factoring functions in algebra. We're asking them to break apart something and put it back together in these different forms, and they're losing track of these units. So these actions of composable, reversible, and associative have implications in many domains of mathematics. So the bottom line is we want to develop not the fact itself, but the mental action behind that fact. Anderson Norton, I hope I did that justice.  Mike: I want to name something that I think is really important, particularly given the fact that your background is actually in secondary [education]. So what I take from this is this idea of working with units and the mental actions, that transcends arithmetic. It transcends whole numbers and even rational numbers. And it pays dividends and it keeps paying dividends in middle school and high school as kids are working in an algebra context. And I think that's worth saying out loud because it means that doing this work with elementary students to develop fluency is a bit of a twofer in the sense that you do get kids who end up with a bank of facts that they know, but they also have this underlying understanding of units and actions that pays dividends for them in the long run. Mathematics education, students' learning experience, is not a sprint or a series of handoffs. It's really a marathon. And those early experiences, they pay dividends and they keep paying dividends. I think that's really important because it reminds us, particularly as elementary educators, that we're part of a larger project.  Kristin: Not only part of a project, but part of building a lifelong interest in mathematics as an actual body of research that's dynamic and not a set of things to memorize and learn so that mathematics does become applicable in these different fields because the way that I approach a problem as an expert mathematician is that I take things apart, I put them back together. That transcends many careers. It's not just about being a math teacher or a math professor. It's about coming to understand that I have autonomy and how I see relationships of things, whether they're numbers or shapes or maybe parts that I'm working on in some sort of creative field that I'm in, but that I can do all of these things and that I can be curious and repeat those actions and see how they play out in that particular study.  Mike: That's well said.  Well, let's talk about the what, the why, the how of combinations to 10 and 20. To begin, I want to note that we use the term "combinations," and I'm wondering if you can say more about what you mean when you refer to combinations and why they matter.  Kristin: Yeah. I mean combinations not to literally mean "addition," but that combination is the idea of this relationship between parts and wholes. So that 2, 3, and 5 have this kind of additive relationship. I can put these parts together to make the whole; I can take a part out of the whole and be left with a part. I can have a part and wonder what part I need to make the whole. And so we sometimes talk about these in curriculums as "fact families," but the emphasis should be on the relationship of the parts to the whole and not filling out that kind of mimicking of like, "I know the four sentences because I know this thing." So, "If I know this, I also know this." It feels really nuanced, but in action really quite specific.  Mike: So I think that's really helpful and it really does lead me to my next question about how we help kids build their fluency with combinations to 10 and 20 and beyond. So given the why that you just articulated, it seems like the how is going to be substantially different from the ways that many, if not most, adults learn to build fluency. Can you talk about that, Kristin?  Kristin: We start from key combinations first. We consider a set of combinations that would be really useful in a lot of contexts. And I think many listeners will be familiar with those key combinations: doubles. Combinations of 10, of course. 5 plus because I have five fingers and then I can add some more on it, and I'm showing some finger patterns. So those are things we normally work on with students anyways. But starting again, going back to my original statement from a quantitative perspective—so not the memorization of those facts, but that I really come to understand them as quantities that are useful to me. And then building from those key combinations—I also want to name before I build onto that, is that some kids just have other facts that are interesting to them that they bring. So it might be their age, it might be the combination of their siblings' ages. And so we don't want to ignore that we introduce key combinations to students, but that students also have combinations that are useful to them naturally.  So once we have a set of those key combinations that we've come to think about and reason about, we can then build things that we don't know. We can transfer that. So 5 plus 3 can help me think about 4 plus 3. If I have a mental structure of a 10-frame or a bead rack that helps me think about, "Oh, there's just going to be one less counter on the top, and so I'm going to take that [counter] away." So that idea of taking the 1 out of the number is a really important mental action of them disembedding that quantity.  In addition, when we think about the 5 plus, the doubles, the partitions, we're thinking about combinations that will also transcend into multidigit combinations. So addition, subtraction—whether we're working with whole numbers or decimals, we can make tens, we can make hundreds, we can make wholes, we can make zeros. And those combinations of 10 are going to be really useful for us.  Mike: I'm struck by the fact that the combinations and also the mental actions that accompany them, as you said, they really do scale up quite nicely. And it seems like they scale up in the sense that they can get used to understand and solve problems with larger whole numbers, but they can also scale in the sense that ideas will help kids, but they can also scale in the sense that the ideas can really help kids when they encounter fractions and decimals. I wonder if you could talk about that idea just a little bit.  Kristin: Yeah. So thinking about a combination of 10 in this missing part. So 99 plus can help us when we're thinking about, that 99 is 1 away from 100. It can also help us think about 99 one-hundredths or 9 tenths as being one part or one unit away from a benchmark number that's really helpful for us. And so, it's just that the unit itself is different. So instead of just a whole, I'm one whole unit away from 100, I might be 1 tenth of a unit away from one whole, so the unit is just changing.  The view of mathematics this way, again, is very dynamic. We're creating a world where children are thinking about units and units away across domains, across number systems. And if we come to regard units as things that we can act on, whether it's a single object or a group of objects or a shape—we can put them together, take them apart and reassociate them—I can think of a lot of my mathematical knowledge in this way and not as a static set of information that I learned. And so then I'm able to transfer that because I've done that mental action or I've thought about something being a unit away.  Mike: That's fascinating because I'm going to go back to this whole notion of the relationship between 3 and 2 and 5. So 3 is 2 units away from a unit of 5 and three-fifths are 2 one-fifths away from a unit of five-fifths or one whole. This notion of units away from or units that combine to make other units, I really get now whether it's whole numbers or fractions, we're really talking about a unit that we've defined and then how many other units or how can we—how did you describe that? What was the language you used before about pulling a unit out? Was it "disembed"?  Kristin: "Disembed," yeah.  Mike: That really plays regardless of the type of unit we're talking about.  Kristin: Yeah. And remember back where we said this quantity had a meaning, so 7 stood for something. When we disembed, that unit still has meaning in the context of the original unit. So that's a really important point about disembedding is that it's not just that you take a part out, it's that part still has a relationship to the whole and you don't lose that relationship.  Mike: As I hear you talking, there seem to be some themes that are jumping out. One is the importance of key fact combinations and the mental actions. Another is the role visual models play in learning those combinations. And I think finally, I hear you indicating that it's important for students to make connections between different representations of the same combination. Tell me what I understood properly. Tell me what you'd revise or add to the summary that I just offered.  Kristin: Yes. I think we get a false sense that a student understands a concept when they're recognizing pattern, and that could be that they're recognizing pattern in a really intentional setting. Maybe they're using a 10-frame. But is that same relationship present in another setting? Success should not be measured by one instance of a child recognizing that pattern. And so one way of knowing that a child knows this is to see it in many contexts. And I think that's why it's so important for us to acknowledge the research around multiple representations in mathematics. And showing that knowledge in these multiple ways really does say that this is a connected set of knowledge that I can refer to as a child and not just be successful on this one day. That doesn't mean that that experience where they're recognizing the patterns is not important, but that can't be the measure of their success.  So this also becomes challenging in our system that values assessment events so heavily and measuring against a set benchmark. And I just want to name that because that's a real challenge for teachers. And of course we want to develop this rich set of knowledge, and sometimes we have to say that this is the system that we live in. But the true measure of that knowledge is being able to take that knowledge and transfer it into these multiple representations or in these multiple spaces and be able to use that. And that's why we talk so much about fluency being flexible and not just about accuracy.  Mike: You have me thinking more deeply than I have in a long time about the structure of some of the visual models and the physical materials that children use when they're engaged with the Bridges curriculum. I wonder if we could get specific and talk about a few of the visual models that support student learning. Are there features that make some models particularly valuable?  Kristin: One I want to mention that we might not have talked about is just a child's fingers. I think sometimes we think child's fingers are not models for them because they're counting by 1 and we tend to want students to move to more efficient strategies. But these fingers actually become really efficient tools. We can exchange fingers, we can move them very easily. We have control, and they're always with us. And so the finger use itself, I think, is a really powerful tool for us to encourage students to use in very sophisticated ways.  Mike: I mean, we literally have units of 1, units of 5, and a unit of 10 at our fingertips in front of us. I'm so glad you called that out because that's a tool that students can make use of, that teachers can make use of and that we can think of in a slightly different way than we had in the past when I just thought about fingers as a counting-by-1 resource, when actually fingers, [a hand], and hands, plural, are 1s, 5s, and 10s right there in front of you.  Kristin: And they can stand in for other units if we're really sophisticated with sequences. So a 1 can be a 7 if we wanted it to be, and we can think really creatively about that. I mean, I think that depends on some other skills. But yeah, we have 1s, 5s, and 10s built right into our hands.  Mike: That's exactly right. And you're making me think about the fact that when I skip-count or when I see students skip-count, oftentimes what's happening is I'm speaking the unit out loud and I'm holding up one finger to stand in for that unit on my hand to keep track of the number of units. So I totally hear what you're saying.  Kristin: Yeah, very sophisticated. And then there's even more complex content, right? So thinking about hours and elapsed time, and we're crossing different kinds of numerical systems where you go from a 12 to a 1 is very complex, and then we can have these fingers as units as well to help us keep track of things. So of course, frames are a really powerful tool. Frames—specifically, 10-frames, 5-frames, 20-frames—provide an extra structure for students, especially when they're really thinking hard about some quantity pieces. So they might not be completely solid in that unit, but we don't have to say, "Oh, you have to count on first before we're going to try to explore some other patterns." Those things can be developing simultaneously. So frames provide this box that contains the unit for them and it becomes this really obvious count for them. They can see those individual discrete items, but they can also see what's missing really clearly because they're empty.  Bead racks are a great support as well when you're thinking about that relational network that we want students to develop and not count by 1s. So we can exchange beads, and we can exchange quantities, and we don't have to exchange beads one by one. Sometimes frames, when we get to a space, it's inconvenient to have to move five counters at the same time where in a bead rack, you can just slide those five over or three over at the same time.  I also want to mention linear bead racks. So taking that stacked bead rack and making it align really helps students think about a continuous model, which transfers to a number line and the idea of units being measurement. So we were talking about, "It's one away," and so really conceptualizing that kind of next decade of numbers and one bead away. That's developing that idea of relative magnitude that's extremely helpful when we get to middle school and all of a sudden we're working in negative numbers.  Mike: We're reaching the end of our time together. And before we go, I'm wondering if you could share contact information for Integrow Numeracy Solutions with our listeners. I'd really love to be able to offer that because we've just touched the surface of some of the ideas that you help educators explore in some of the training and the support that you all offer.  Kristin: Yeah. If you'd like to find out more about us, a great place to go is our website, which is www.integrowmath.org, all one word. And we have a lot of different things you can explore from our events. There is actually, if you add a backslash "blog" to that [www.integrowmath.org/blog], you can go to our blog and read some of the ways that we think about our professional learning and some of the topics that I talked about today. If you want to reach out directly, feel free to email info@integrowmath.org and someone will get you to the right place based on your question.  Mike: And for listeners, we'll put a link to both of those in the show notes. Before we leave, Kristin, I'll just ask one last question. Are there any recommendations that you have for folks interested in learning more about the ideas we've talked about today? It could be books, websites, articles, or even just a suggested practice for someone who wants to get started.  Kristin: Yeah. For sure, take a look at the blogs on our website. They're little snippets of pieces of our trainings that you can take right with you into the classroom. Some ideas that I've talked about—help with bead racks, ideas around multiplication and division, and supporting students to think about those units. Our new publication, On Track to Numeracy from [Lucinda] "Petey" MacCarty, Kurt Kinsey, [David Ellemor-Colons, and Robert J. Wright], is designed to be an accessible, relatable and practical tool focused on supporting classroom teachers. It not only has the progressions that I started this podcast off talking about, but it has those teaching tests and progressions that help us answer the question of, "What do I do next now that I can understand where my students are?" Mike: I think it's a great place to stop, Kristin. I want to thank you so much for joining us. It's really been a pleasure talking with you.  Kristin: Thank you for having me. I've had a great time.  Mike: This podcast is brought to you by The Math Learning Center and the Maier Math Foundation, dedicated to inspiring and enabling all individuals to discover and develop their mathematical confidence and ability.  © 2026 The Math Learning Center | www.mathlearningcenter.org

I know, I know, you are asking your podcast player of choice out loud, right now, “WHY IS CHRIS REJECT BACK?” Well, it is simply because we love him. Also, LVAC is having some cool sales right now, so get some stuff printed, will yah?? On this extreme sport filled episode, Reject joins us to discuss two tubular films, Rad and Gleaming the Cube. Look, as much as we like to bust on Chris, the reality is he is a great dude who does great work, and you should make him feel cool by checking out LVAC, or DRYROTT, or SQUARE OF OPPOSITION, or whatever. It was actually pretty fun to talk to Chris again; even if he is a giant asshat, he is also pretty great. Kinda. On this episode, we do our usual Wack and On Track and we spend a bit more time discussing the ways DHS is being used to terrorize innocent people. I want to link to a charity, or a community organization, or an ICE WATCH group, but you should probably find a local one to you. I know things are hard right now; do not give up, we can do this together. Like I said, patronize any one of Chris’s scams — I mean, businesses — and let him know we sent yah so he stops harassing us all the time. Thanks friends, love you. Thanks for listening!

Have you've tried everything from protocols, to supplements, to experts and the healing still hasn't happened? Why do so many of us stay stuck despite doing "all the right things"? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Navaz Habib, aka "The Vagus Nerve Doc," to explore what might be missing. What if the real issue isn't another diagnosis, hormone imbalance, or gut protocol? What if it's your nervous system itself? I share my own journey of chasing answers and why discovering the vagus nerve made me question everything I thought I knew about healing. Why does stress seem to override even the best treatments? How can inflammation, trauma, and feeling unsafe keep the body locked in survival mode? This conversation opens the door to a completely different way of understanding why your body won't let you heal (yet). In this episode, we uncover: Why doing more treatments can backfire when your nervous system feels unsafe. How chronic stress keeps your body stuck in survival instead of repair. What the vagus nerve has to do with inflammation, hormones, and healing. How past trauma or injuries may silently block recovery. What needs to shift before your body will finally respond to treatment. If you've ever wondered why you're doing everything right but still feel unwell, this is the episode for you!     Sponsors Head to CozyEarth.com and use my code HORMONES for 20% off sitewide.

I'm diving into why waiting until menopause to address hormones can be an incredibly costly mistake for so many women. Why are we told to "wait it out" when symptoms often start years earlier? And what's really happening inside our bodies long before our periods stop? I walk through the often-missed perimenopausal years and explain why this phase matters more than most of us realize. What if heavy periods, anxiety, weight gain, or insomnia aren't things you just have to tolerate? Could early hormone shifts be driving them? We also explore timing, myths, and fears around hormone replacement. How do you know when it's actually time to start paying attention? And what are the long-term consequences of ignoring these early warning signs for bones, brain, and heart health? In this episode, we uncover: Why waiting for menopause can ultimately worsen your long-term health outcomes. How perimenopause quietly begins years before your final period. What early hormone symptoms are often misdiagnosed or dismissed. How timing influences the benefits and safety of hormone support. Why listening to what your body is telling you matters more than arbitrary age rules.

Quantum computing is no longer confined to research labs—it's entering the commercial space, and electrical engineers are uniquely positioned to contribute. In this episode of the OnTrack Podcast, host Zach Peterson sits down with quantum hardware designer Šimon Marek to explore the fascinating world of superconducting quantum chips. From transmon qubits and Josephson junctions to control electronics and FPGA-based systems, Šimon breaks down the engineering principles that make quantum computers work, revealing how familiar microwave and RF design concepts translate directly into this cutting-edge field. Whether you're a PCB designer curious about quantum technology or an engineer looking for your next challenge, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for understanding quantum hardware. Šimon shares his journey from Arduino projects to quantum chip design, walks through actual chip layouts and simulation workflows, and discusses the fabrication processes that bring these devices to life. Discover why quantum computing might be more accessible to traditional electronics engineers than you think.

I'm sitting down with microbiome expert Kiran Krishnan to explore a question I see come up all the time: why do hormones sometimes stop responding the way they used to? But what if the real issue isn't your hormones at all, rather what's happening in your gut? In this episode, we dig into the powerful gut-hormone connection. How can gut bacteria influence estrogen metabolism, inflammation, weight gain, and even mood? Why do so many women struggle more during perimenopause and menopause despite "doing all the right things"? We also talk about why hormone therapy sometimes backfires, how gut dysfunction quietly drives symptoms, and what most people completely miss when trying to "fix" hormones. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, this conversation may change how you see everything. In this episode, we uncover: How your gut microbiome directly affects estrogen metabolism and hormone balance. Why inflammation and gut permeability sabotage hormone therapy results. What happens to the gut during perimenopause and menopause. How gut health influences weight gain, mood, and metabolic slowdown. Why fixing hormones often fails without addressing the gut first.

On the western continent of Perpetua, four fated adventurers set out on a prophesied journey.  While to the east, in the Elevana League, a trio of travelers began to investigate a metaphysical sickness. What, if anything, connected these two groups? Who was powerful enough, invested enough, to watch each from above or below—besides you and I? Perhaps, if not for the impending stress of a familial reunion and the ever present struggle between one's responsibilities to their culture and to themselves, the brilliant, Terrapine inventor Jonathan would find the perspective necessary not simply to answer these questions, but to intuit that they exist at all. Yes, I think that if it were laid out for him, he would see the patterns by now, the etchings and the echoes.  But we… We have the perspective, the maps, the right roles: Storyteller and listener. And we have the chapters open in front of us: The Shadow of the Dragon Tower. The Flames of Burzin, Journey to the Bay. On Track to Iron Chains. Sizzling Rivalry. Crashing Waves. A Roar Across Cenn. Aquatic Ambush. In Too Deep. Indeed, those seven adventurers were themselves "in too deep" to know what was about to happen, to sense that there even were other heroes like themselves, whose stories carried a strange and powerful resonance. You will learn soon that they were not the only heroes across Perpetua's many cycles. And perhaps this will be part of a new map you can come to understand in time. A map which will raise a new question: Are these echoes part of a careful, yet uncanny balance in the cosmic play of our lives? Or a poetic rhyming that keeps existence itself aligned?  This week on Perpetua:  Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Some Feedback [Page 29 of 30] CarlsSr Hey I have a question: Why does Jonathan's family suck so much @$$? XxZelgadyskXx Great question Carl! Nice to see you make a more substantive post!  I definitely understand why it might seem that some of his family isn't great, but I think they're just frustrated with how long he's been away. Even for a Terrapine, that many decades seems like a long time! It also seems like they're going through a little bit of a family crisis with how his mom is getting older and sicker. Maybe if we saw them in the old days, before he left, they'd be a little more likable! TheUnforgivenIII Yeah right, once an asshole, always an asshole. The truth is that Jonatahna is a bad ass who doesn't need his family. They can't make flaming guns out of thin air. They don't have a sick ride. All they do is hold a guy like him back. Plus their music f'ing SUCKS. Doom_Tree_Anne Wow Zelgadysk, do you ever do any RP on IRC? Sounds like you'd play a great Jonathan. XxZelgadyskXx No comment! But join the server, I'm sure some people would love to talk RP with you.  Alukard83 I think it's easy to get mad at a video game family that's been written to make you mad. Real family is tougher to deal with, because a lot of times you love the same people who really tick you off. That shit is tough! CarlsSr Yeah.  [Extra words added to reach minimum word count.] XxZelgadyskXx Do you think Jonathan's little sister feels the same way about him that you feel about your family, Unforgiven? TheUnforgivenIII I didn't say SHIT about my family, asshole. My dad is a kick ass bike mechanic and my mom used to be a rock station DJ. Way cooler than Jonathan's dumbass church family.

It's time to say goodbye to 2025, so let's get real about a year that looked successful for me on the outside, but sometimes felt like a reckoning on the inside. What happens when your body forces you to slow down? And what do you do when growth starts to cost you your peace? I open up about identity shifts, burnout, and the uncomfortable realization that I couldn't keep working the way I was. How much of my worth was tied to helping others? What happens when you're asked to step out of the role that once defined you? I also unpack the chaos of the menopause conversation in 2025. With louder voices, scarier messaging, and endless opinions, how do we separate facts from fear? And how do we advocate for ourselves without shrinking, apologizing, or staying quiet anymore? In this episode, we uncover: How burnout can be a signal that something deeper needs to change. Why stepping out of old roles can feel terrifying but deeply freeing. What 2025 revealed about menopause misinformation and fear-based narratives. How identity, hormones, and nervous system health are more connected than we realize. Why speaking up for yourself often costs less than staying silent. If you've felt overwhelmed, conflicted, or quietly exhausted in 2025, this episode will help you prepare for 2026!     Sponsors Timeline Mitopure Gummies is offering 20% off your first order of Mitopure.

This episode picks up right where part one leaves off as I dive into more of your thoughtful, honest questions in the second-part of this year-end Q&A. What happens when hormone therapy doesn't seem to be working the way you expected? And how do you know if your dose is actually doing what you need it to do? I answer questions about achy joints, stubborn symptoms, cortisol replacement, thyroid interactions, and why some delivery methods work beautifully for one person and fail another. Why do absorption issues happen? What does "optimal" really mean when it comes to hormone levels? And when is more not actually better? We also talk about real-world frustrations—irregular cycles, weight changes, hair loss, breast tenderness, and the overwhelm that can come with trying to figure all of this out. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing the right thing for your body, this episode is for you! In this episode, we uncover: How to know if your hormone dose is actually providing protective benefits. Why cortisol, stress, and thyroid medications complicate hormone balance. What causes poor absorption with patches, creams, or injections. How to spot signs of too much or too little estrogen. Why individualized testing and symptom tracking truly matter.

I'm wrapping up the year by answering your questions in this first of a two-part Q&A, and we cover a lot of ground. From confusing lab results to hormone dosing debates, I dig into the questions so many of you are quietly wondering about. What does high ferritin really mean? Is it iron—or something else entirely? We'll also take a look at hormone replacement frustrations. Why do some people still bleed months into HRT? Are injections better than patches or creams? And how do you know if your body is actually absorbing what you're taking? I share real-world context, common patterns I see, and why one-size-fits-all advice can be misleading. This episode also touches on bigger, more nuanced questions. How do genetics like BRCA status factor into hormone decisions? Can stress, immune health, or histamine issues change how hormones affect you? And in perimenopause, is balance even realistic, or are we chasing the wrong goal? In this episode, we uncover: How to interpret high ferritin levels and what they may signal beyond iron. Why hormone absorption issues can cause unexpected symptoms like bleeding. What typical testosterone and estrogen injection doses actually look like. How stress, inflammation, and immunity intersect with hormone health. What to consider when navigating HRT during perimenopause versus menopause. Tune in now if you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or overwhelmed by hormone advice.

What's really driving the sudden belly fat, brain fog, and sleep chaos so many women hit in midlife? And why do the usual "eat less, move more" solutions stop working overnight? In this episode featuring Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, we dig into the hormones and peptides that may finally explain why your body feels like it's changing without your permission. Together, we unpack what's happening beneath the surface (insulin resistance, inflammation, mitochondrial slowdown, hormonal roller coasters), and ask the questions women are never told to ask. What if your symptoms aren't a lack of willpower but a lack of biochemical support? And what if the tools to help you already exist? Which peptides actually matter for women in perimenopause and menopause? Which ones help with sleep, energy, weight, stress resilience, or recovery? And how do you know when it's time to consider hormone therapy or advanced diagnostics? Get all the answers in this episode! In this episode, we uncover: How shifting hormones trigger metabolic chaos long before menopause officially begins. Why peptides like BPC-157 and MOTS-C may support healing, energy, and resilience. How inflammation, gut health, and chemical exposures silently shape weight and symptoms. Why GLP-1 medications aren't shortcuts, plus who actually benefits from them. How personalized labs and targeted therapies can prevent years of unnecessary suffering. If you're ready to understand your midlife body in a way no one has ever explained before, this episode is for you.
