Teaching my calculus and pre-cal students about the context of math, including the cultural context, is part of my job. Today, on Day 2 of the 5 days of #Diwali, I introduced the famous art of #rangoli, giving them a chance to choose a pattern to color. #MathEd #ITeachMath #MultiverseOfMathness

To all my #Native friends, today I celebrate you, your families, and your ancestors! Thank you so much for enriching my life. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Why are we still kicking PATs?

The #XFL's idea of no-kick, must-choose-1-or-2-or-3-point-conversions is brilliant. They introduced it back in 2020.

It'll make the game soooooo much more interesting; PATs won't be just a sign to run to the bathroom before everyone else #NFL #HoustonTexans

I don't remember much from my 4 semesters of Hebrew in grad school, back in the late 1990s, when I was prepping for church work. But I do recall #RoshHashanah means, lit., "head of the year."

L'Shanah Tovah to all my friends who celebrate the Jewish New Year! May it be blessed with much sweetness!

When you can't find posters of some of the mathematically powerful women you want to spotlight in class, you make 'em yourself.

I asked my teen daughters which character in #KPopDemonHunters was most like them. My 11th-grade daughter MM was honest with her big sister JJ.

See the rest of our convo on my blog feministasiandad.com/2025/07/20/c...

My fam and I are incredibly saddened by the news that the historic #GrandCanyon Lodge and nearby cabins at the North Rim have been lost to wildfire. We have great memories of visiting and especially of staying in one of the little cabins back in 2016.

I snapped this picture during that trip.

For the 13th straight July 4th, my fam has done 3 things inspired by the kids' picture book #ApplePieFourthOfJuly by Janet S. Wong and Margaret Chodos-Irvine:

• Eat Chinese food
• Watch fireworks
• Eat apple pie

This book continues to speak to us about the beautiful diversity of America.

I couldn't get it to fit in the banner space at the top of my page, but the new Peace-Love-Math image comes courtesy of

Thank you so much! This is how I've adjusted the image; is this okay?

Only a few shows left of Lloyd Suh's outstanding play #TheChineseLady at the Chance Theater in Anaheim Hills! Michelle Krusiec and Albert Park are amazing in the 90-minute, two-actor work about Afong Moy, the first Chinese woman ever to come to the U.S. app.arts-people.com/index.php?sh...

A DEVASTATING LOSS. What I've most enjoyed about #TheWheelOfTime is how often the power of women, in particular women of color, has been central to the action. No on-screen fantasy series comes close to #WoT in normalizing women as the greatest badasses. #WoTskies #WheelOfTime (Google Search image)

A gift from two of my students! I never imagined myself on a flag. Now I can "wave" without using my hands! 🚩 #ITeachMath #MultiverseOfMathness

Exciting day here at the Catholic high school where I teach, even for me, a non-Catholic! It's interesting to have a pope from the U.S., esp. b/c Americans will hear one of their own critiquing U.S. attitudes and policies toward immigrants, refugees, poverty, racism, and climate change. #PopeLeoXIV

#Thunderbolts* is quite good, the best MCU film in awhile. Fun action and humor with a deeper message that's super-relatable. Stay until the very end of the credits for a long extra scene. #MultiverseOfMathness

Requiescat in pace, Papa Franciscus. You will be greatly missed.

It's okay, dude. I'm pretty sure I make more mistakes in my job than you do in yours. (After all, math teachers make more obvious mistakes than any other kind of teacher.)

We all know what it's like to do mathy work under pressure. But imagine doing it with the pressure of saving the world!

The newest Fantastic Four trailers show actor Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, using his mathematical superpowers!

Teaching at a Catholic school, I get to ask students questions like this, which I posed to AP Calculus BC students after our recent unit on infinite series. (The #GloryBe is part of the prayers of the rosary.) #ITeachMath #MathEd #MultiverseOfMathness
