Just a reminder to all maths teachers and people who do maths related things that the #MathsToday hashtag is great for sharing what you've been up to 😊 If you pin the feed to your homepage you can also follow what other people are doing in their classrooms. All welcome!

Words cannot express the shock and sorrow we feel hearing that Shelli Temple, @druinok.bsky.social
has passed. Shelli was a connector, a builder, and a believer in the power of community. 🧡 #MTBoS #iteachmath

My school's Relay for Life event was yesterday. We raised an amazing $146,888.00! The students showed spirit, determination, and community and made us all so proud.

Resilience is this bulb of purple iris. Over 30 years ago my MIL gave me all kinds of plants for our red clay yard. I planted yellow and purple irises beside the house, some bloomed for a while, then just stopped. Some years one cluster at the corner now blooms.

If you've used any of the resources I have freely shared over the years, perhaps you'd consider making a donation to my Relay for Life fundraising campaign?
I made a #WODB especially for the occasion!

#MathsToday We continued working on box plots today. This set of box plots representing number of siblings in two classes always makes them scratch their heads. Where's the median for the red box plot?
