Happy #MathStatMonth! The way we talk about math matters — that’s why we’re partnering with the Math Narrative Project to raise awareness and learn about ways we can all use math narratives to improve student learning.

Calling all teachers! Today, the foundation is providing a 50% match for all @DonorsChoose projects (up to $2M) — let’s get ready for #BackToSchool season, together. https://t.co/oC1z7GbGS0

I don't know how it is possible that Biden doesn't understand all that is at stake here, but, based on his consistent eagerness to expand fossil fuels, I am convinced he does not.

He must declare climate emergency. Now.

It’s a lifelong process to develop ever more kindness, compassion, and love.

Diversity makes our society smarter, stronger, and more innovative. In the face of today’s ruling, I’m more committed than ever to fostering diversity through my work—whether that’s in our nation’s classrooms, boardrooms, or the halls of Congress.

Loved reading these reflections from some of my colleagues who have taught in the classroom. Thank you teachers - current and former!

This headline should have been the dealbreaker for everyone. Do you understand what this means? Do you understand the eventual price you will pay for repeated infections?

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

I had a lot of fun meeting @CheechMarin, experiencing @TheCheechCenter, and learning a lot about his work to support the arts, education, and economic mobility for Mexican Americans.

It’s always great catching up with @jessieww. We chatted about math, edtech, AI, and human ingenuity. Here’s a look at our conversation. https://t.co/oT7pdEXRY4

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The effort to separate the officers who murdered Tyre Nichols from the system of policing that produced them is palpable.

Police killings in the US reached a record high in 2022. That has only been rewarded with more funding at the expense of schools, hospitals, housing, & more.

"A few weeks ago, the New York Times called mask-wearers "the last holdouts". This week, the world's richest people went to great lengths to protect themselves from COVID"

There is economic interest in every facet of not recognizing the vastness and severity of Long Covid. Blood clots, strokes, myocarditis. All results from this virus. How do we know? There plenty of research at this point. Yet, crickets.

Connecting math to students’ interests is the best!

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

A win today: a student was having trouble mentally calculating 72/2 and 36/2. Knowing he's a skateboarder, I asked him what's half of 720? What's half of 360? His answers were automatic.

Bo Burnham has both funny and smart things to say. And his point that media is designed to try to colonize our time and attention is something we don’t talk about enough.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Wow. Didn’t know Bo Burnham was a real one. Couldn’t be more relevant

Growing up, I was told I wasn’t a “math person” and I believed it. Now, as a parent, I see the power of math and am proud @GatesUS is committed to making sure all students can see themselves as capable of succeeding in math.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I’m still astonished at the fact that, despite the wealth of evidence showing the long-term health risks from even ‘mild’ cases of Covid, as a country we have just shrugged, accepted mass infection, and acted as if the still-cautious among us are the *odd* ones. It’s madness.
