Associate Professor Paul Hernandez-Martinez from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia is excited to announce this year’s international Mathstory Competition. 

The competition invites all undergraduate students, from any discipline, and school students in their final two years of pre-university education (senior secondary school, or high school), anywhere in the world, to create a short (3-4 min) digital story that connects a mathematical idea to the real world. It invites students to be creative, develop their curiosity and have fun with mathematics. Creating a story that is relevant to the real world helps develop their ability to communicate mathematical ideas in engaging ways, fosters storytelling and digital literacy, and gives them a chance to showcase their work internationally and be part of a global community. 

All details about the competition can be found in our website: https://mathstory.org The deadline for submissions this year is Sunday, November 23rd, 2025. 

The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) recently released a new joint position statement on Evidence-Based Math Instruction. Some of its key messages include: 

• Evidence-based math instruction requires more than procedural drills. 

• Teaching math is fundamentally different from teaching reading. 

• Explicit instruction has value, but it is only one tool among many that effective teachers use.  

The joint position is in collaboration with the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics (ASSM), The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE), National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM), UT Austin Dana Center, and The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).

The American Institutes of Research (AIR) is partnering with the Modern Classrooms Project (MCP) to study an innovative program designed to improve math outcomes through curriculum-embedded, competency-based instruction.

They are looking for district partners that use Illustrative Mathematics® or Eureka Math-Squared® in grades 4-8 .

The free program includes:

• 20 hours of virtual synchronous summer training, curricular-aligned resources, six coaching calls, and two site visits during school year 2026 – 2027
• The project will also provide six optional district workshops.
• Ongoing coaching to support use of the materials and instructional approach during the year.
