Howdy! A proud husband & father here. I'm also a secondary mathematics teacher. G6 math, Algebra 1, Geometry, & Algebra 2 are my jam right now.

Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas.

So they’ve paid for a poll-tested rebrand to sell their scam.

Here’s how to debunk their “school choice” slogan in 90 seconds…

@CVSHealth @cvspharmacy how the heck is it possible in 2023 to be on hold for this long to confirm a prescription!?! Store ID 7809. My wife called another CVS and they answered in 5 minutes. Please do better!

#FFPregame better long-term rookie wr stash, Mingo or JSN? I have Ridley & AJ Brown as my locked-in starting wrs. I drafted JSN, Mingo is a free agent.

Great session today @CAMT_online about sparking curiosity in students. Finally got to meet the man, the myth, the legend @howie_hua !

Great idea from Howie! I'll definitely be trying this in my classroom. #iteachmath

I turned one of my most boring math lessons into one of my most engaging ones. Here's how:

This is not a drill! This is happening!

After much musing over the years about there being potential for an anime adaptation of ‘Scott Pilgrim’, I’m thrilled to say one is IMMINENT, with the whole cast back together and… you are going to lose your minds.

My ADHD was misdiagnosed as “smart but lazy”, “selfish”, “lacks effort”, “in his own world”, “too sensitive”, “messy and disorganized”, “always late”, “gets in his own way”, “sloppy handwriting”, “overly emotional”, “a lot”, and “not living up to his potential.”

This is amazing! Great primer for students before jumping into formal two column proofs!

[Tim Brzezinski @TimBrzezinski]

Here's some more "proofs" without words you can copy and paste into your own custom @desmosclassroom activities. What phenomena do you see here? 🤔 Happy exploring! https://t.co/14l4RPbrgV @Desmos @AlgebraDesmos #MTBoS #ITeachMath #geometry #geomchat

#DidYouKnow? @geogebra’s apps show when there are holes (removable discontinuities) in graphs! #MTBoS #ITeachMath

"One of the toughest challenges that students face when they walk into classrooms is they feel tense. They're worried about being put on the spot."

—@Kareemfarah23, a teacher who says blended learning has reduced his students’ anxiety levels

[Alex Quicano @GQ_Lex]

Great quote from the article. "I’m not giving them something for nothing. I changed the narrative to redefine the floor at 50, so that failure isn’t worth more than success."

[edutopia @edutopia]

When teachers rethink their grading philosophy, they can help students' improve their academic performance in a mathematically fair way. Here’s what that can look like. 👀
