Join NCTM President Latrenda Knighten and President-elect Dewey Gottlieb as they welcome Thomasenia Lott Adams, who will give a sneak preview of her Iris M. Carl Equity Address at the NCTM 2026 Annual Meeting & Exposition.

Drawing on her own powerful mathematics journey, Adams explores the importance of seeing the whole student, reflecting on how educators show up in the classroom, and turning equity from an idea into meaningful action.

• Iris Carl Equity Address
• Register for the NCTM 2026 Annual Meeting

This month, Latrenda and Dewey welcome Amy Lucenta and Grace Kelemanik, authors of MicroRoutines: Maximize Mathematical Engagement, to the podcast to explore practical, adaptable routines that help more students think, talk, and engage with mathematics.

Together, they discuss how small, intentional teacher moves can amplify student thinking, strengthen mathematical discourse, and create more opportunities for every learner to participate.
