Good morning world. I took a moment to pause on my run this morning. Such awe inspiring scenes of gratitude when you look for them in the bustle of life.

This was fun. First, I tried it with 1:4 bananas meaning to the total, but that yields a non-realistic solution, so then grammar taught me to try bananas to cherries. I love how tape diagrams, like number lines, force me to think pictorially and I feel I connect deeper with the problem.

It's been that kind of week. Need I say more

Now when people ask, I'll say, "I got my latest degree from Harvard."

A surprise early morning run paid dividends. Love this feeling

Quite a beautiful start to first weekend of Winter break...I see some math in here. What do you see?

I love these kinds of surprises, when I pose a problem in passing to some students and then, after the end of the semester, I get proud declarations of the students work. Proof positive, creativity and collaboration, with a dash of technology makes mathematics accessible and beautiful.

View leaving work for our little break. Taking time to appreciate little moments, that's what makes me thankful. Here to a better 2025.

Thank you #elemmatchat for this opportunity to share with each other, engage in some math, flex our creativity and enjoy our collaboration.
