@GoldmanCraig As your constituent and a working mom of three, I'm asking that you advocate for a Vaccine Bill of Rights similar to the one proposed by America Frontline Doctors. We must protect the right of the people to decide for themselves whether or not to get vaccinated!

@ElijahSchaffer This is not who most Republicans are. Certainly not who any I know are; such a shame that this is being made to represent the conservative voice.

@jamestanton @benorlin I meant “note” the word “interior.”

[Andrew Elizalde @ajelizalde]

@jamestanton @benorlin Think “diagonal” and not the word “interior.”

Kind of tired of the “vertex form” y=a(x-h)^2+k. There is no need for naming this form. Students should be able to reason their way to discerning the vertex of y=(2x-7)^2+9 without having to change forms. #precalc

It was a great few days gathering with these gentlemen to craft a conference on Cultivating Soulful Mathematicians (CSM) and eat some great BBQ. Be on the lookout for the CSM conference, June 21-24, 2020 in Dallas, TX.

Of all the pre-calculus books I have had the blessing and curse to work with, I have found Sheldon Axler’s book, Pre-Calculus: A Prelude to Calculus to hands-down be the best. #mathteacher

I’ve been implementing the principles of Wiggins and McTighe’s Understanding by Design for almost ten years now. I continue to find this to be an incredibly effective and meaningful approach to designing curriculum and instruction. #ubd

Successful in convincing 4 students to regularly show up at 7:15 AM for math enrichment. 1st topic will be the relationship between geometric (Apollonius) and algebraic interpretations of conics. #math
