When you get up at 5:30am & are on the train before sunrise the morning commute hits different. It’s oddly peaceful.

I was in Atlanta for NCTM last week.
I’m out in LI twice this week.
This weekend I fly to Oklahoma.
End the week in Palms Springs for CMC-South.

Let’s meet up in PS if you’re going

Is anyone else in Atlanta for #NCTM? I’m presenting on Friday, here till Saturday. Let’s link up.

I wrote an Ear to the Ground article for NCTM’s biggest publication!

How you know if you love your job?

I’m riding on the train at 6 AM & there’s a girl doing her math homework. I can’t help but sit near her & try to see (alg). I have to resist the urge to offer help. The urge is all consuming.

These old trains, remind me of pregaming for concerts when I was young.

Very early morning for me. I left Brooklyn, in the dark and watched the sunrise over sunny and beautiful Jamaica. I’ll be working with teachers and kids in Huntington, Long Island today helping them make a Groupwork the Norm their classroom. Thank goodness I love what I do :-)

I’m working with middle school teachers at Sayville middle school today.
I always have fun consulting and I’m looking forward to it.
I’m not lookong forward to 4 hours of long island railroad.
I hope you had fun today too - especially if you’re a Sayville middle school teacher 😉.

I’m presenting at the limacon conference today! Come see me at 10:30 to talk about financial education or 1:45 to talk about exploring logarithms through manipulatives.

As someone with kids, multiple jobs, and my own company I have very little time. I use every second I get. Whenever I’m working in the suburbs, I walk up and down the railroad track at a decent pace to squeeze in a little exercise. I wonder if, to them, I’m “that guy who paces in the mornings.”

I woke up and got on the train from BK to LI before the sunrise this morning. Today I’m working with a team of educators from multiple schools. I’ll be teaching them how to effectively facilitate group work in their classrooms out near the Hamptons… If only it were summer and not 32 degrees!

I love this comic. It's a student submission from the UNESCO International Day of Mathematics that I saw on 1001 Math Problems (1001mathproblems.com).
