Resources for Webinar
Here are the resources I mention for today’s webinar on Unpacking Research Claims About the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics with NCTM. https://www.nctm.org/online-learning/Webinars/Details/686 Description: Multiple documents exist to help math teachers understand the research behind teaching and learning mathematics, from the CCSS to IES practice guides. Increasingly, math educators face…

UDL Math!
I am super excited to share a article I wrote proposing UDL Math. It is published in the September issue of Teaching and Learning Mathematics K-12. You can access it here for NCTM members and below for those who are not yet NCTM members. I have long wanted to develop…

13 thoughts on math teaching and intervention as we enter the 2021 school year
I have trying to write this post all summer. Each time I try, I want it to be more focused. Yet each time I revisit this idea I feel there are more things to add! So here we are, with the cumbersome number of 13 thoughts on math teaching as…

Research Breakdown: What is different in math research for students with and without disabilities; an article that took 8 years to get published!
To call this a new article is a bit of a stretch. I first started writing this article in 2013. I planned to write a Research Commentary for JRME (a fancy math ed journal) on what I saw as the stark differences between 1) math ed research and 2) special…

Research Breakdown: Teaching Math to SwD during Emergency Remote Teaching
Just uploaded a preprint (before peer review, so not final!) of a study I did this spring with Rachel Schuck, a doc student at UCSB in Special Education. I was working on a research study on UDL with some exceptional special educators. After schools were closed, some of the teachers…

Research Breakdown: My article on how disability in mathematics is political, relational, emotional and complexly embodied (Lambert, 2019)
Part of my intention with this blog is to provide access for a wide audience on research into disability in the context of mathematics. Research is too inaccessible; hard to get the articles and hard to understand them even when you do get your hands on them! Today I want…

Intervention in Participation
On Saturday, 11/5/16 I did a presentation at PME-NA in Tucson about a research review I recently did on increasing the participation of students with LD in mathematical problem solving and discussion. The basic idea is this: why is intervention in mathematics always focused on content. Could we also design intervention in…

Getting real about the challenges of differentiation
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post by Anna Blinstein (@ablinstein) about a challenging class she is teaching. I love a post that begins with a real challenge, a problem that needs to be solved. She writes about a high school class that includes multiple grades, skill levels, and previous experiences with…

Rehumanizing mathematics for students with disabilities- a special issue on critical perspectives on disability and mathematics
A couple of years ago, James Sheldon and Kai Rand started a Working Group at the Psychology of Mathematics Education North America conference. This group, now called Critical Perspectives on Disability and Mathematics, is made up of mathematics education scholars who work at the intersections of disability and equity. We…
