A calculus student of mine craved her pumpkin. It is the f"(x) number line from 1 to 11 with f"(x) being negative so concave down. Fun to see.

Last night's Calculus Study group for my students, I was given a math blanket, diet coke, a painting (draw the graph), and a thank you note from them. Blessed to have great students. @ByronBearsHS

Two of my calculus students gave me paintings to hang up in my classroom. Thanks, it was a pleasure having you in my class for 3 years.

It is cool how the US Navy football team is honoring US Marines on 9/11 in their game against the US Air Force. https://t.co/KNbrG8joPL

Had a student drop off a nice thank you note today with a new mask. A great mask for a mathematics teacher.

[Troy Faulkner @flipin_faulkner]

I am thankful for family and friends even though I miss their hugs and seeing them face to face. I am grateful for technology that still allows me to talk/see them. So many things to be thankful for even as this Thanksgiving is different than we have had in the past.

Thanks to #Google and #KutaSoftware. Google for the Hangouts/Meets, Google Form, and YouTube. Kuta Software for the Kuta Works program (allows math teachers to easily make assessments and deliver assessments online to students)

@irvspanish @jenhegna It is called "Peer Instruction Flipped Learning" model.  I describe it on my website https://t.co/HtBdIQcEmh  under the Peer Instruction tab.  There is some information on this page plus videos about Peer Instruction and several links on the left side bar for more information.

Inspired by both my sons, I made a flag, (size 32" by 20"). My oldest is a Marine and my youngest made a USA flag last spring. Flag is solid oak with barn red stain with USMC logo and Marine word hand painted. #USMC
