@bchydro I hope you’ll join Bluesky soon as many of us are leaving X in favour of that platform

[Deanna Baxter @d_baxter]

I’m moving over to BlueSky. I mostly read and retweet posts. I’ll try to find as many of you as I can there. https://t.co/0cSb3x8bHX

@Keeling_curve @Crof Great website! I just did an example using a similar graph with my calc 1 class. I’ll be updating my example with your data and graphs in the future!

Thank you for joining us! This was a great experience for our future teachers taking Math 190 - Math for Elementary Teachers! @CapilanoU

We had a fantastic time exploring math challenges and puzzles at the SNAP Capilano University fair. Thank you for having us!

@moebius_strip The answer should be yes, that you are essential as a post secondary instructor.

@jamestanton So drawing 2/3 as a piece of a pie on its own doesn’t show that it’s 2/3 of the 4/5 part to whole fraction drawing.

[Deanna Baxter @d_baxter]

@jamestanton 4/5 = “4/5 of a whole”. 2/3 x 4/5 = “2/3 of 4/5” means 4/5 is the “whole” but I add in 2/3x4/5=2/3 x 4/5 x 1 = “2/3 of 4/5 of a whole”

@marktmaclean Best wishes on your retirement Leah! You were not my professor when I was at UBC but were grad student advisor for a time. Both your research and your support of students is a great legacy!

Students from local schools and one as far away as Whistler competed at the @CapilanoU sitting of the BC Secondary Schools Math Contest today. It was a fun day of talking math and solving problems. Congrats to all who participated. Winners pictured below. #BCSSMC #mathletes

People with Down syndrome lead rich, complex lives like any other human, but it’s only been in the last few decades that everyone else stopped persecuting them long enough to notice this. As a result, both their IQ and their life expectancy skyrocketed. https://t.co/XxumbjAOL1

Can you pass a certain type of curve through 16 points in three-dimensional space, or a billion points in five-dimensional space? Mathematicians have finally proved the answer to this sort of question for any such curve. https://t.co/ANRGjjmWCN

If you’re stuck on the roads in #NewWest and can’t get home, the lobby at Queen’s Park Arena is open and welcoming anyone who needs a warm place to stay. @CityNewsTraffic @AM730Traffic

@ShafRC @AngieCh94662195 @AM730Traffic The Alex Fraser had no snow sticking. At 0 C, the snow turned to water on contact but then froze to the bridge deck. Snow tires help but will still slide on ice. Salting and sanding earlier could have helped.

[Deanna Baxter @d_baxter]

@ShafRC @AM730Traffic I agree but even with snow tires it was difficult. It’s not snow that’s the problem but the bridge deck is a sheet of ice.

[Deanna Baxter @d_baxter]

@AM730Traffic I travelled southbound on Alex Fraser this afternoon between 4 and 4:30 pm and it was extremely icy. It also didn’t seem to have been sanded or salted.
