Even if you don’t want to read a book right now…

Get your local library card. You can use online databases and get access to a LOT of other services you probably don’t know about.

Support your local libraries any way you can- $$, volunteering, etc.
If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Watching Google shutter things that actually worked, like Google Play Music, and now Google Podcasts, to turn them into YouTube Music is like someone coming into your kitchen who takes away your blender and kettle then lets you know you'll now only be able to boil water or blend things in your car.

Sure, in the US today's Thanksgiving, but it's also…

FIBONACCI DAY!

Because it's 11/23. Get it?

If you don't —and even if you do — then do I have an article for you. Thanksgiving *and* fun math! What more could you want?

I always enjoy this lesson … explaining fraction division this way … and it clicks with most … but they lose it over time. Quotative division (vs Partitive division) is so hard to embed. #iTeachMaths
