A few years ago, I met a chef and asked him, "So, bay leaves? Do they even have a point? You can't taste them. You have to take them out. They seem to get in the way."

He shook his head and said, "Nah, it's the opposite.”

"Wait, what?" I asked.

"They're the invisible heroes of the culinary arts. Bay leaves won't give you a distinct flavor. They don't stand out. It can be so subtle you don't even detect it. But what they do is offer depth. They're a small thing that makes a big difference. They're working behind the scenes to amplify everything else. Trust me, they're a big deal."

It has me wondering . . . what are the bay leaves of education? What are the small strategies that seem almost invisible but have a major impact?

Staggered pipe stacks are shorter than non-staggered stacks, but calculating exactly how much is not easy. This lesson requires the Pythagorean theorem or trig ratios to figure it out:

Are you teaching LCM? This lesson that uses buying hot dogs and buns as a context for making sense of the mathematics.

Can you imagine the parent complaints if imaginary numbers were invented/discovered in 2023?

"Excuse me, math teachers are now teaching our kids that imaginary numbers exist? What's next? Hidden 1s everywhere???"

Give an insult but make it mathematical.

I'll go first: Are you the rate of change of acceleration because you're a jerk.

Sen Berg says charters run by for-profit entities are designed to make money, if they don't and close, the charter will take anything purchased with public money with it. She says tax payers should be livid.
