@politicianpages Love this! If you're open to it, you could make the tenure slider a Boxplot, which could help provide more insight into the percentile and relative tenures of all members. Sample below (senators), where you mark the member of interest with an X. Help your audience with math ❤️

Congratulations to the newest cohort of @AEF_Program #EinsteinFellows23!

[AEF Program @AEF_Program]

The edtechies, space #scientists, mathmagicians, policy leaders, and #teacher #STEM innovators. Bravo to our 16 new #EinsteinFellows23. They are in for the ride of their life!

@mrs_frommert @TheMathGuru Factoring technically solves all quadratic equations. Why wouldn't you want to know what is working behind the algebra?

@MsSaundersMath @desmosclassroom @Amplify This please!

Some of the @AEF_Program Fellows will remember being in the trenches with Dr. Weld while he was creating the 5 year #stem plan and were lucky enough to be able to provide valuable input into the process. #EinsteinFellows17

@MrSawyerMath I would @Wolfram_Alpha of course.

@MsAlison314 I haven't taught factoring where a=1 in a long while, and I regret nothing.

@ekennedy80 @elonmusk @hodgetwins Hate to break it to ya, but their assistants and lobbyists don't just read the bills; they write the bills.

@Shantastic333 @howie_hua If I multiply -5 by a negative, it gets bigger.

[Chris Wright @cwright4math]

@TomKenyon1 @howie_hua That shows THAT they are equivalent, but not at all WHY they are equivalent, because I could just as easily say:

-2x<4
Divide both sides by -2
x<-2

I'm wrong, but why? Your explanation doesn't go far enough to be proof.

[Chris Wright @cwright4math]

@ShemetaJoshua @BeatTheCult Anything that is not "not nothing". Likely one of those things that is defined by what it is not.

[Chris Wright @cwright4math]

@ShemetaJoshua @BeatTheCult Things come from nothing all the time - it just depends on your definition of what "not nothing" is.

I spent a few days in Finland recently, and got to chat with some teachers.

My main takeaway, which I found so refreshing:

Finnish teachers don't attribute school outcomes to schools themselves, but to the society at large.

[Chris Wright @cwright4math]

@brynhumberstone @robertkaplinsky @ddmeyer It might be that we have the conception that a conception and a misconception are mutually exclusive concepts. Misconceptions are conceptions. Just like mistakes are takes. Misuse is use. Misappropriation, mismanagement, etc.

Should we begin saying none of these exist?
