I asked a bunch of AI platforms to make me the same handout on subtracting fractions in fifth grade. Check 'em out and tell me which one did it best? bit.ly/4BILiDw

I talked to what felt like 100 people who all raved about Liesl's sessions at NCTM / NCSM. This is a great offer. 👇

Hey MATH folks - NCTM (linkedin.com/company/nati...) proposals are due on Friday. I'd love to support my colleagues by using my expertise on brain science to amplify your message.

You are the lead speaker - I can be a co-presenter.

Reach out if you'd like to explore it.

This video is THE sign of the times for me, a loud alarm indicating that the arm’s race between teachers and students around AI is headed towards disaster. I explain why & offer a solution here: danmeyer.substack.com/p/updating-my-…

High school kids in Vancouver, WA, walked out over AI. An organizer:

> I don’t think it’s fair that teachers get to use AI in lesson planning and grading and that students can’t use it for anything.

Teachers and students have different jobs, yes, but both exist in a social compact that says, "We will both bring the HEAT here. No weak stuff." And with AI lesson plans & grading, kids increasingly see their teachers as bringing weak stuff.

I’m a huge fan of the Super Wrong, Kinda Right routine. A meager math problem can nourish a bunch of kids when you ask them what the answer CAN’T be and how they know. practicedrivenpd.com/instructional-…
An activity screen where kids see a point at (3,-1) and have to find another point without the assistance of a coordinate grid. There are answers that are super wrong and kinda right.

The headline: "AI tutors do just as good as humans at half the cost."

The appendix: "We threw out a bunch of students who didn't use the AI tutor enough."

Me: "You see how this looks right."

Study: arxiv.org/pdf/2609.28470
Robert Pattinson's character from Primetime saying, "You see how this looks right," in front of an appendix outlining exclusion reasons.

I moderated a panel a week ago. First question: a man stood up & said, "I recorded this whole panel with Wispr Flow and asked AI what question I should ask you." Deeply unsettling behavior. Like what are we doing here?

People aren't buying it, folks, sorry.
A graph that shows 56% of adults think a school that prohibits AI better prepares students for the future than one that actively integrates AI.

It's all over tech-adjacent Twitter. "Kids can learn 2x ... 5x ... 10x! ... faster than in regular schools." My question, always, is "... learn WHAT?"
Several tweets indicating that students are learning 2x, 5x, or 10x faster than regular school.

When tech Twitter claims to have hacked learning, their one weird trick for saving time is often just to do LESS stuff — to teach math at shallower depth or to teach kids to negotiate their ideas with fewer other kids who differ from them in fewer ways.

So s/o to the teachers and schools and parents who are committed everyday to maintaining lofty goals for children's social and mathematical learning, doing a lot with what little they have, unbothered by people who believe it is a great accomplishment to do less with less.

We need a new metaphor for AI. Take a forklift to the gym and you don't look fit afterward. Use AI for your essay and to many eyes you DO look fit afterward. x.com/dylanwiliam/st…

Watching @C_Hendrick get his project criticized publicly by @thebandb and @New_Old_Paul feels a lot like an Alpha High School Bootcamp test. Very interesting times.
