💬 Comment CONVINCE and I’ll send you these “Convince Me That…” prompts!

The best math discussions don’t happen because students know the answer—they happen because students are challenged to defend their thinking.

That’s exactly why I love the “Convince Me That…” routine. It gives every student a chance to explain, justify, question, and think more deeply about the math they’re learning.

Instead of simply solving problems, students are:
✨ Building mathematical reasoning
✨ Defending their ideas with evidence
✨ Listening to and learning from classmates
✨ Developing confidence in their mathematical thinking

The best part? One simple prompt can lead to dozens of different strategies and rich classroom conversations.

Save this post so you have a discussion routine ready for your next math lesson!

Every teacher dreams of seeing students not only improve in math, but truly believe they can do math.

That’s exactly why these stories mean so much to us.

Schools implementing the STRIVING MATHEMATICIANS SYSTEM are sharing incredible outcomes—from students reaching grade-level expectations to learners gaining the confidence to tackle challenging problems with excitement instead of fear.

Even more inspiring, some schools have reported that students who once required special education math services have made such significant progress that they no longer need the same level of support.

This is about so much more than raising test scores.

It’s about giving every student the opportunity to experience success, confidence, and a love for mathematics.

When teachers have a research-based system that develops deep understanding, meaningful discourse, and lasting mathematical thinking, amazing things happen.
