Math teacher and cat snuggler, dog lover and foodie, attempted insult by a former colleague- "go be a counselor." I care. A lot.

@gregtangmath I’d love to see it! I saw you present once at a conference and you completely changed my approach to not only teach computation and fluency, but also how I strategize for myself!

@gregtangmath Alternate: have them start with one unit cut into thirds and 2 thirds shaded. Continue seven times. Gather the shaded parts and put them in as many groups of three as they can to simplify. First method is easier, but this mirrors the multiplication concept of making copies.

[ChiTeacher @ChiMathTeacher]

@gregtangmath Cut the tape into seven units, then each unit is cut into thirds. Then students will count how many groups of two they can make.

“Classes are cancelled” is passive voice. “The mayor chose to cancel classes.” There, I fixed it.

UPDATE: Classes are canceled for all CPS students tomorrow, Friday, January 7. However, a small number of schools may be able to offer in-person activities for students. Please do not plan to send your child to school unless you hear otherwise from your child's principal.

@SJ_Moreno @ChiPubSchools Sadly, a lot of parents and families buy everything the Distric dishes out, however manipulative the message.

@drewlingegg @allandup @PA_Capitol_Boy @POTUS Typically, my write offs end up being the standard deduction which is only a couple hundred dollars despite thousands spent each year.

Texas won’t stop a virus from reproducing but they will sue a woman who doesn’t want to— nice work, men.

Wearing a mask isnt about YOU. 40% with COVID show no symptoms but are contagious. The virus is in microdroplets from your mouth. Masks block them. Unmasked & asymptomatic, you statistically infect at least 2 people. By 10 wks later, your infection trail infected 5000, killed 80.

@titonka How many ways can men continue to exonerate men from behaving responsibly? Bored? Not responsible. Stressed? Not responsible? Horny and not getting laid? Not responsible. Responsible for what? Anything, clearly.

Republicans are withholding aid for unemployed Americans so they can shield corporations from liability as they force their employees to return to work in a pandemic.

Let that sink in.

@CardsfanK @claudiamconwayy Karissa— her mom is Kellyanne Conway and Claudia is a very active voice against Trump’s decision making. I think their motivation is not centered around her safety as a minor online.

Her final words to me:

@SherwinWilliams , a multi billion dollar company, didn’t work with me at all through this pandemic. I don’t even know what to do anymore.

[ChiTeacher @ChiMathTeacher]

Her story... share it!
My name is Robin Benza.
I worked for Sherwin Williams as a sales rep in Cincinnati, Ohio (a job where I could work from home) and they forced all reps into stores. I couldn’t work in my local store from 8-5 because schools and daycare closed. #covid

[ChiTeacher @ChiMathTeacher]

Robin’s story continued... Because I “resigned” I can’t get unemployment and I guess I’m supposed to get PUA but I call the unemployment office every week and no one knows why I can’t apply.
