Thank you to all the amazing teachers and Math for America staff who helped make tonight’s event to connect new MfA Master Teachers to the greater MfA community! The rooms were filled with laughter, learning and excitement. What an exciting way to start my latest fellowship. #MfAProud #iteachmath

I’m finally getting around to reading some additional works by @dreugeniacheng.bsky.social! Whenever I read something she’s written it lifts me professionally as someone who teaches math.

@eluberoff.bsky.social @desmos.com I am working with some teachers who use the Desmos curriculum and is it possible to make it so that kids cannot navigate elsewhere during a lesson? Or does that require technology on our ends? Also, can you make group work a little better?

Ok, but can we just take care of business? The ‘90s Knicks have left me with some deep anxiety.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions.
This is such a huge story.
This is such a huge story.
This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating.

Random Thought: I don’t write fan mail, but occasionally, I think to myself oh so-and-so is a great author, or this person has really inspired me! I just want to send a note. I know I can slide into people’s DMs, or use their website contact form. It’s just not the same as writing a letter though.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

When will people understand that personnel redundancy isn’t inefficiency? It means that when a person needs to be out for any reason, business can continue as usual. Multiple pathways to success if you will. The best #NCAAW teams understand this. Businesses and people need to, too. #MarchMadnesss

Recently, I asked students to write about what mathematics IS and how it makes them FEEL. Then, we looked at folks anonymous responses and students wrote down their noticings and wonderings. Most remarked on the overwhelming negative feelings, but some of the very interesting things that it is. #♾️

Talking about the future with the older kid.
“I know what I want to be when I grow up — a scientist!”
Me: What kind of scientist?
“A scientist that studies everything. And who also designs games.”

Feeling a little overwhelmed with the news lately. Also, the flu cycled through the whole family. So I’ve been feeling quite exhausted for the last few weeks. What strategies do you have for absences and for self care so you can do your best for your students? #EduSky #ITeachMath

Sick and miserable, waiting to be seen by a health professional. Wonder if our current model of school calendar is just a setup for everyone to get sick in January. Do schools in the southern hemisphere have June/July or July/August off? How are illness rates? Do you all get less sick? #EduSky

A rewritten version of one of Zeno's Paradoxes: A robot is programmed to sense the distance between itself and the end of the room. Unfortunately, due to a glitch in its programming it only travels half the distance after each measurement. What happens to the robot as time goes on? #ITeachMath

I know free press means freedom of the press, but I will continue to believe that information should be free for the people. Paywalls and capitalism are the problem.
Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.
I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:
“Newspapers die in cowardice.”
