Let's talk about the math here. This situation could be used to teach about proportions, cost analysis, graphic representations, ratios, etc. How can you use it in your class?

today's rabbit hole brought me to learn about Frank Tannenbaum, a Jewish historian/criminologist and former IWW member once arrested for taking industrial action with other unemployed workers in 1914... who also had this to say about prisons in 1922

I used to have a sticky note on my desk that just said, "You're not marking errors. You're identifying trends."

This is one of the most important pieces of advice regarding feedback I can offer.

Kids don't need to know what they did wrong. They need to know what to learn next.

This month I'm starting work on a podcast called "Meaningless Marks on Paper."

It's about mathematical symbols, from epsilon to infinity, and why we love/resent/obsess over them.

Who do you want to hear interviewed? Tag your people!

(Yes, it can be yourself.)

#DismantleRacism in mathematics. It needs to be “a thing.” Example: Right answer focus vs. thought focus. Interrogating my own practices to ensure student success is not measured only by standard mastery but in their ability to analyze and discuss.

What a gift it was to blurb @prisonculture's forthcoming book. It’s packed with wisdom and guidance and so much optimism and possibility about who and how we can be together. Gift yourself, too, by preordering We Do This ‘Til We Free Us here: https://t.co/eJAak4Z8rP

Heard someone today say, “The kids are going to be so behind when they get back.”

But, we recognize that the only thing they’re behind is our own perception of where they should be, right?

The content we assign to grade levels isn’t inherent to age. We did that. We can undo it.

You know what I keep thinking about? How shortsighted the dismissal of YA literature continues to be. You want Austen? Teach PRIDE. You wanna teach Tolstoy? Read ANNA K. You love Greek mythology? Give them NEVER LOOK BACK. YA is doing what the classics could never dream of.
