Can you believe it? I am now a math instructor at The University of Saskatchewan! Go Huskies!

I didn't get a job here or anything. I'm just a math instructor physically on their campus.

Parent: How was your day at school?
Child: Fine.
Parent: Did you do anything different or meet anyone new?
Child: I played baseball with José Bautista & José Berríos, and Buck Martinez was there too.

Thanks to Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Dinner for giving students the opportunity!

@fawnpnguyen has yet another resource for math teachers. Between 2 Numbers helps students practice their estimation and number sense skills by trying to determine the best answer to the prompt. It's in English and French too! https://t.co/T9S30YD5BD #iteachmath

Teachers are continually being asked to support students with less. Recently, @GSCSNews shared this infographic.

Will @SaskParty ever realize that an investment in education is an investment in our province? Constant cuts hurt our province. But most importantly, cuts hurt kids.

Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division has made the difficult decision to cut teacher librarian positions, the entire gifted ed program in elementary, the Eco Justice program, cut most full time kindergarten programs back to half time, increase lunch fees for elementary,…

Today is Red Dress Day. It is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S). We remember the thousands of Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people who have been subject to disproportionate violence in Canada.

"Math class does not offer students enough opportunities to make decisions.

Students are interested when making decisions. And when they're not deciding, they're passive."

[Kyle Webb @webbkyle]

Students carry the scars from math class like no other discipline.

What can we do to rebuild our students' (and even our own) math identity?
