Every time someone coughs when I am proctoring a final exam, I think there is some elaborate cheating process going on. #ProbablybecauseofthemovieIQ #YesIlistenforpatternswhentheyarecoughing

Critiquing an article by Hiebert while sitting next to him is making me rethink my life choices... #PhDLife #Atleastitisagoodcritique

@UDMichy @MandyMathEd I was always so impressed with the Japanese students going to geometry for problem solving. Whereas U.S. students began with algebra.

[Matthew Melville @MathleteMelvin]

We recently read an article (Schoenfeld, 1988) that talked about constructions and their relation to proof. Would you suggest to do proof before or after the constructions unit? Do constructions still have a place in today's geometry classes? #MTchat

Today my thinking has changed about equity in mathematics education. What are your thoughts about how you would define equity in education? #demathchat

@alexish0lt @downrightdave @MrPhelps_Math @4micheleJones @MRS_Fairbourn All kids under 8th grades take the AMC 8 no matter what grade. And it is not required at all, they use it for math competitions.

[Matthew Melville @MathleteMelvin]

@downrightdave @alexish0lt @MrPhelps_Math @4micheleJones @MRS_Fairbourn It’s often called the AMC 8 test. Google that one and you might find more results. It’s used all over the country. They also have a regular AMC test for the high school students as well.

@downrightdave This made me want to cry! I was telling my wife that I have never wanted to go to Dave week more in my life! There may be 2000 miles between us, but we will be BFFs foreva. We have a bed whenever you want to come out to DC or NYC.

@ShakyWest smh. Every freaking time. Windex works wonders.

[Matthew Melville @MathleteMelvin]

@ShakyWest @agoodpancake if only the amount of effort put into a creative answer was put into studying. You two would be my best students.
