  • Dynamic Duo

    Pam and Kim are a dynamic duo. I’m so grateful for their expertise and willingness to share with the rest of us. They have certainly impacted my classroom practice. I love that I can say, “Math is…” and my first graders respond “…figureoutable!” I hope they believe this to be true for the rest of their lives. Thanks Pam and Kim!

  • HOOKED!

    From asynchronous professional development, to books, to this podcast, Pam and Kim make all listeners think and question, “is there another way?” I started listening and couldn’t stop. This podcast is my yard work companion and my dishwashing learning. I truly can’t get enough. Keep up the amazing work. I’m so excited to share all I learn with my colleagues and to try some of the younger standards with my own kids.

  • Amazing podcast!

    I always thought I was good at math until I started listening to your podcast. Now I know I was good at mimicking and memorizing algorithms. The Mathisfigureoutable way makes so much more sense and I am addicted to learning more! Highly recommend!

  • Just in time Learning

    I was not a podcast person until this year. I am a high school math teacher for 27 years who moved from being a mimicker to wanting my students to reason and explain their thinking without knowing that was what I was doing. This podcast helps me continue my journey to help more students think and reason. Thank you Kim and Pam, I look forward to binging this podcast.

  • Ed woo, not math

    This is the most overrated podcast. It’s all educational feel good jargon , just current math ed woo. A reckoning is needed in the math space like has been occurring with literacy. There’s a reason the hosts stopped calling you all mathematicians and started calling you all “mathers.” Cringe. A real mathematician is not going to visualize a stack of dimes, next to a clock at 12 o clock, counting down a number line, and draw a chart to add a couple double digit numbers. Procedure and conceptual u... more
