I am consistently finding that PDFs of MTLT articles are not passing accessiblity checks in Canvas. Is this something that @nctm.org plans to address in the future? Math teacher educators...how do you remediate this in the meantime?
Screenshot of the cover page of an NCTM Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK–12 article titled “Children’s Games and Games for Children” by Nat Banting and Chad Williams. The screen also shows a Canvas accessibility score of 11% with a note saying “This PDF is untagged.”

It's time to kick off #MathPhoto25 with #squares! Hunt for square shapes and perfect square numbers. Take photos & share on Bluesky using the hashtags #MathPhoto25 and #square. Please add alt text to your photos for increased access. #ITeachMath
The week one prompt of the Math Photo Challenge. Look for squares. Where to you see square shapes and perfect square numbers? Example photos are dice with square faces and the perfect square number 4 on top, a square sewer grate and square pint boxes of fresh summer strawberries.

I found this notecard in the library stacks yesterday, and I just keep wondering about it. Are they notes from a book? A class? A personal pep-talk?
“Pinpoint what source of nervous energy is”
“Let thoughts go.”
“Just live life”
#NotesFromTheStacks
Front of a handwritten notecard with the following notes: Look for evidence, ask questions. Amygdala doesn't control frontal lobe. Tell it that's a lie. Write down illogical thoughts. Pinpoint what source of nervous energy is. Let thoughts go. Acknowledge it, but don't fixate on it. [illegible] can bring behaviors. Back of a handwritten notecard with the following notes: Talk about other people to reduce anxiety. Organize thoughts. Slow down. But focus on not [illegible] people. Watch for anger. If angry, don't respond. Just live life.

The year is 2025, and a friend invites you to tag along on a trip to the music store. Where do you picture you are going?

Turning the hateful DMs into hope.
Blackout poetry for my trans son created from an Instagram DM that says “You are healthy. You’re young and wonderful. Surround yourself by people who hear and support. You are doing what’s best. Wonder, love, and play and never be undone.”

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.

I'm so proud of my trans kid—for his courage to be exactly who he is every day.

People are trying to erase trans lives, but trans people aren't going anywhere. They are loved, they are thriving, and they deserve to be seen.

Trans joy is real, and it's beautiful.
