Started a second instagram account to highlight my #mathmusings as they appear in everyday life. I would love if the #mtbos could take a look and let me know your thoughts https://t.co/XES3Fl2UIH
Attended such a fun session tonight with @MoMath1 featuring Roderick Kimball’s home made puzzles! The 11yo and I had fun and I can’t wait to bring some of these to my own (virtual) classroom https://t.co/Ja5AzFJ9Me #mtbos#iteachmath
I just found adding and subtracting using a number line on @MrDeltaMath and I am in heaven 😍🤩😍🤩 just what I need for my intro to algebra students #mtbos#iteachmath
Twitter, we need your help!
We have an idea for @cheezit but they cannot accept confidential ideas, so we have to make it public.
Check out the thread and let them know that you want to live in a world where mathematical CHEEZ-ITS exist. 📢
The 9yo decided to do a little morning #math by sorting his fruit snacks by flavor. He noticed that the amount of strawberries was the same as all the other flavors combined. #mtbos
@mathequalslove Oh my goodness! Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery and have such a positive attitude :)
You are not alone, I broke my ankle the one time we ventured out this quarantine for a hike on my 11 yo b-day 🤦🏻♀️ I’m still sporting a walking boot
@howie_hua Leslie Knope because she has so much passion! I don’t even care what she’s talking about, I’m sure that her passion would make any subject interesting.
@howie_hua Try to use as few measuring cups/spoons as possible. Sometimes that means converting 1/2 to 1/4+1/4. Sometimes it means converting 2 tablespoons into 6 teaspoons.
As a Black STEM educator whose labor is devalued within higher education & society writ large, I am proud to opt out of all institution required or suggested labor today. Class is cancelled. Meetings are cancelled. https://t.co/0a0WCcPT45 #ShutDownAcademia#ShutDownSTEM
Today I would like to participate in #ShutDownAcademia by starting to read the books I purchased and researching online how to have a better classroom when we return in fall. Picture is from Octavia Spencer #mtbos
For those looking to build up their "Anti-Racism in Math Education" list (ahem, that's all of us... right?), @mathhombre is curating quite the list:

@anniek_p Thank you for sharing your journey. I think that @Mathgarden might have some recommendations of good resources for you to tie in more math history to your teachings. Looking forward to ALL you share :)
Two other books I have in my list are:
So You want to talk about race by Ijeoma Oluo and
Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria by Beverly Daniel Tatum
#blackouttuesday
#blackouttuesday when purchasing books, make sure to research local bookstores, research black owned bookstores. There are several lists online of places you can support.
I know most of you put your stickers on your laptop but I’m more of a clipboard kind of gal. This is my second clipboard of stickers, recently added #tmwyk#mtbos
